Police have charged South Sydney winger Tyrone Munro with multiple domestic violence offences over an alleged incident near Homebush earlier this year.
NSW Police opened an investigation after the matter was reported on Monday, resulting in Munro being charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, stalk/intimidate with intent of fear or physical harm and common assault.
The Rabbitohs have informed the NRL’s integrity matter of the alleged incident, with the governing body likely to suspend Munro under the game’s no-fault stand-down rule once it completes its own probe.
Munro has engaged high-profile Sydney lawyer Elias Tabchouri to represent him.
“Tyrone Munro has been charged with certain matters, which are to go before the courts,” Tabchouri said. “Mr Munro will be defending these matters at this stage of proceedings. There’s not much else that can be said at this time.”
Asked if he expected the NRL to apply the no-fault stand-down rule to his client, Tabchouri said: “That’s a matter for the integrity commission at this stage.”

Munro is considered a rising star, but it is now unclear when he will be able to add to his 19 NRL appearances.
“A man has been charged after an alleged domestic violence-related assault near Homebush earlier this year,” NSW Police said in a statement.
“Officers attached to Auburn Police Area Command initiated an investigation yesterday (Monday 13 October 2025), after a woman reported she’d been assaulted by her partner in April 2025.

“Following inquiries, a 20-year-old man was arrested yesterday and taken to Auburn Police Station where he has now been charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm (domestic), stalk/intimidate intend fear physical etc harm (domestic), common assault (domestic).
“He has been granted conditional bail to appear in Burwood Local Court on Thursday 30 October 2025.”
Souths issued a brief statement, which read, in part: “The Rabbitohs take all allegations of domestic violence very seriously and will take appropriate action if the allegations and charges are proven.
“As this is a police matter, the Rabbitohs will be making no further comment at this stage.”
