“If me being on the commission is detrimental to the game, which it probably is going to be because of what I’ve done. I’ve got to work through that myself. But absolutely, I will hand in my resignation (if requested). Loading “I will meet with the commission when Peter is back (from leave). If the commission want me to resign, I will hand in my resignation. No problem at all.” Coyne called a police officer a "f---ing stupid idiot", a "f---ing dickhead" and a "cock", according to a court document in the early hours of June 2. Asked why it took him almost six weeks to inform the commission of his plight, he said: “The valid reason around that is I have never been over there before and the judicial system there is a very different type of system, as I have found out over the last six weeks. “Some of the advice I got was that there was to be no criticism of the judicial system.

“My biggest risk around self-reporting was there could have been a heap of media turn up in Singapore to get involved and that could have resulted in me being incarcerated. “I recognised from an NRL point of view it wasn’t the right thing but from a Mark Coyne point of view that was the right thing for me to do to protect myself. That’s why I wanted to make that decision. Mark Coyne arrives back at Sydney airport on Thursday. Credit:Edwina Pickles “I technically did not get charged until Tuesday. Prior to that I haven’t been charged. As soon I was informed on Tuesday that I had been formally charged, I immediately rang Peter Beattie to let him know that fact. “Peter knew then, I went to court yesterday and you would know I pleaded guilty and was hit with a fine. I was then allowed to get my passport and come home. I obviously rang Peter and told him that as well.”

After six weeks spent in Singapore, Coyne arrived at Sydney Airport on Thursday afternoon, hand in hand with wife Annie. He fronted the awaiting media pack to explain the "embarrassing" incident which has brought his time on the ARLC into question. 'Embarrassed': Coyne expressed remorse for his actions in Singapore.

"I’m extremely embarrassed about that and I’m embarrassed for my family that they have had to see a husband and a father act like he did. It’s really poor behaviour. I have just got to wear it. I will own it. I did the wrong thing and I have to own it."
