Rugby league star Dylan Walker has been stood down by the NRL as he fights domestic violence charges.
The Manly centre is accused of having a fight with his fiancee about a PlayStation before yanking her ponytail, causing her to fall onto a concrete driveway while holding their baby.
He has pleaded not guilty and his partner Alexandra Ivkovic has retracted initial statements made to police.
Walker on Friday became the second player, after Jack de Belin, to be sidelined under the game's new policy that bans players who are facing serious charges.
