Melbourne Storm will be investigated by the NRL after a video emerged of a white substance on a hotel room table.
The Storm’s title charge ended on Saturday against Penrith Panthers – the same side that Melbourne overcame in the 2020 Grand Final – but the Daily Telegraph is reporting that a possible scandal will ensue following the game for off-field reasons.
The NRL has been contacted, with its Integrity Unit set to formulate an investigation into the mobile phone footage given to the Telegraph showing two players in a room with an alleged white substance sprinkled over a table.
The news comes after New Zealand Warriors starlet Reece Walsh was arrested over the weekend for possession of cocaine, which the youngster lated admitted to in a tearful admission.
“I was told by officers last night to move on. I didn’t move on which led to me getting arrested and taken back to the police station,” Walsh explained.
“Once I got back to the police station I was searched, and I was in possession of a small bag of cocaine which I had some of during the night.
