NRLW star Nita Maynard has been arrested and charged after assaulting two security guards at Northies in Cronulla when she was asked to leave the premises on Friday evening.

Maynard, a forward from Gisborne in New Zealand, has represented both New Zealand and the Blues in State of Origin and most recently turned out for the Roosters in the NRLW.

AAP reports Maynard had to be forcibly restrained by police.

“Nita Maynard is contracted to North Sydney. North Sydney are dealing with it at the moment and keeping us in the loop with regards to their actions,” a NSWRL spokesperson told AAP.

“We will review the matter further once North Sydney have determined a course of action.

“We are confident they have the matter in hand.”

Maynard switched to league from rugby union in 2017 after playing for Australia.
