MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia's National Rugby League (NRL) has issued a warning to Cronulla Sharks forward Toby Rudolf for making "offensive and derogatory" comments after he joked in an interview that he planned to head to a pub and "pull" to celebrate a win.

In a post-match interview with Fox Sports on Sunday following the Sharks' 32-18 win over St George Illawarra, 25-year-old Rudolf said he would celebrate with "probably about 1,000 beers".
