Moran deleted the story from her Instagram roughly eight hours after it was posted.
According to ABC Australia, the NRL's 'integrity unit' have since handed Moran a one-match ban and she faces a fine which would be equivalent to 25 per cent of her contract. The fine would be suspended for 12 months.

"There will be a further requirement that Moran attend such education and training as is recommended by the NRL's Wellbeing and Education Department, in consultation with the Australian Rugby League Indigenous Council, concerning her responsibilities as a player and the appropriate use of social media," the NRL said in a statement.
"Rugby league is an inclusive game and has a proud and strong relationship with many communities.
"Regardless of any personal views, all players and officials must adhere to the professional standards expected of them and on this occasion, the public comments made by the player have caused damage to the game."
"The relationship between Indigenous people and the monarchy is a complicated one. If Caitlin has done something then it will be investigated by the Integrity Unit and we'll work our way through the process."
He added: "We're talking a little bit of negativity with Caitlin, but if we look at we're she's come from, in 2017 she wins us the World Cup and does her knee the year after and has probably in the wilderness since then.
'Those are the sort of things we need to look at and celebrate. We believe she's gone from strength to strength," said Griffiths.
