Exiled NRL star Curtis Scott will not play rugby league in 2022

Exiled NRL star Curtis Scott will not play rugby league in 2022.

That’s according to The Mole at the World Wide of Sports who has claimed that Scott will not be present in court until August – with any chance of taking to the field until then becoming almost impossible.

The matter was heard briefly in court last week and adjourned until August, just weeks before the finals.

Scott was hoping to rejuvenate himself and his career with the Parramatta Eels this season but the NRL won’t clear him to play until the matter is resolved.

Scott, who was getting ready to play golf with his new partner when he was arrested, was taken to Sutherland Police Station just days before pre-season at his new club the Parramatta Eels was set to continue following the Christmas break.

The charges against the 24-year-old include two counts of intentionally trying to choke a person with recklessness, two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, stalk/intimidate intend fear physical etc harm (domestic), and three counts of common assault (DV) against a former ‘childhood sweetheart’, according to 9 News.

Scott has also been told not to turn up for the first day of pre-season training with the Eels, the club confirmed to 9 News.

On the field, Scott has had mixed results, but he was part of the Melbourne Grand Final-winning side back in 2017 as well as being part of the Storm side that lost in the year after to the Sydney Roosters.

Both police and the NRL had known for years about the allegations of domestic violence, but Scott’s former partner had not acted on them – until now.

Scott is already set to sue police for wrongful arrest following an incident back in 2020, whilst he was arrested for a nightclub brawl last year.
