AUSTRALIA'S rugby league bosses have told the Canberra Raiders they expected "appropriate" action to be taken against Joel Monaghan after a photograph of the player simulating a sex act with a dog was posted on the Internet. The picture of the former Australia winger, taken at the team's end of season party, was posted on a social networking site on Thursday and Monaghan issued a statement through his manager apologizing for a "moment of sheer madness." Local media have speculated that Monaghan, who said he was not in a "fit emotional state" to discuss the issue with club officials, could have his contract canceled. The governing National Rugby League made it clear it would be watching the Raiders' disciplinary process. "The National Rugby League has today warned the Canberra club that it will closely monitor any disciplinary action taken against Raiders player Joel Monaghan," NRL Chief Executive David Gallop said in a statement.
