Rabbitohs winger Tyrone Munro has been stood down by the NRL under the league's no-fault stand down policy.

Earlier this month, South Sydney confirmed in a statement they were aware of an alleged incident and charges involving Munro, 20, and had informed the NRL Integrity Unit of the matter.

The charges against Murno reportedly relate to alleged domestic abuse.

"The NRL is aware that New South Wales Police charged Munro with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, common assault and stalking or intimidation with intent to cause fear of physical or mental harm on October 14, 2025," the NRL said in a statement on Tuesday.

"The decision should in no way be interpreted as a view on the innocence or guilt of the player."

The league confirmed they have advised Munro he is subject to their no-fault stand down policy, meaning he is banned from playing in any NRL games or related competitions until his matter reaches a conclusion in the courts.

Brought in by the NRL in 2019, the no-fault stand down policy applies to serious charges for alleged offences which would carry a maximum jail sentence of 11 years or more, if found guilty.

In their statement on October 14, South Sydney said the club "take all allegations of domestic violence very seriously and will take appropriate action if the allegations and charges are proven".

Munro has played 19 games for South Sydney, including 12 in 2025.
