The Rooster’s Halfback was staying away from the media this morning.

His immediate playing future is in question following a late-night incident at a Kings Cross nightclub.

It is unlikely that he will be considered for Origin.

Vox 1: “Hopefully he does, I don’t know what is happening.”

Anthony Minichiello, Roosters Captain: “Don’t know anything about it mate and I can’t comment.”

And St George coach Steve Price was upset with his team, after it suffered a 38-6 defeat to the Bulldogs.

Steve Price, St George coach: “Very soft performance, no excuses that was soft.”

St George are planning on bringing in late signing Benji Marshall, for the clash against Parramatta next weekend.
