Siliva Havili and Tim Lafai have been charged with affray and offensive behaviour and ordered to appear before court September 6.
Police were called to a brawl near the intersection of Crown and Atchison Streets shortly before 5am Sunday, but arrived to find it had dispersed.
Havili and Lafai were stopped nearby and given a move-along direction.
The pair was allegedly involved in an altercation with a group of males on Crown Street at short time later.
They were initially issued infringement notices, but were charged on Monday after police viewed CCTV footage.
The Dragons were made aware of an incident involving “certain contracted players” on Monday, a club spokesman said. “The Club and individuals concerned are cooperating with Police with their enquiries.”
