    A new hospital pass for the NRL to handle on the eve of the league season

    A new hospital pass for the NRL to handle on the eve of the league season

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    Kiwis forward Corey Harawira-Naera and Bulldogs teammate Jayden Okunbor are alleged to have taken two girls, who they reportedly met at a school visit, back to their hotel rooms on a pre-season trip to Port Macquarie.

    The NRL's issued the pair with show-cause notices.

    Neither player is under criminal investigation and the females are over the age of consent.

    No complaint has been laid with the club by them or their families.

    However the Bulldogs claim the pair have allegedly behaved in a way that breaches the NRL rules and the club's code of conduct.

    Both have been stood down ahead of the competition opener against the Eels tomorrow night.
