KNIGHTS PLAYERS KICKED OUT OF TOILET CUBICLE
The Newcastle Knights are investigating after players Kalyn Ponga and Kurt Mann were escorted from a toilet cubicle over the weekend.
The clip, which has been leaked from the social media app Snapchat, shows the pair being ushered out by a staff member with the caption ‘Ponga getting done in the toilet’.
The club are now investigating the video – which took place over the weekend.
Kalyn’s father, Andre, defended his son’s actions.
“He made an exciting house purchase Saturday and celebrated with a few mates drinking. Sick in the toilet and his mate went in to help him,” Andre Ponga told News Corp.
If the investigation corroborates that explanation the two players may still find themselves in hot water.
Ponga has been sidelined due to concussion protocols and will not play again this season. The superstar fullback has been involved in training but has not been taking part in contact drills.
Mann has been sidelined with a quad injury and players are normally told to stay off the drink while they are in the rehabilitation group.
