The Tigers playmaker Hastings dragged an NRL official into a crowd, and the mob member was taken from Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium after other match-lovers drove the accused out.
Fans have been charged with disorderly conduct and Lawrence said the alleged comments about Hastings’ family were “insulting”.
