Cannings in trouble
The Parramatta team has become embroiled in its first bit of scandal for the year with new recruit Aaron Cannings "arrested and fined over an alcohol-related incident at Byron Bay early yesterday".
The Sydney Morning Herald reported the news Saturday morning, quoting Eels general manager Greg Mitchell as saying he was "dissapointed" by the incident.
"It's extremely disappointing for this to have occurred at a pre-season camp in between two trial matches. We've been doing a lot of promotional and development work in the area and something like this does not reflect well on the club's image," The Herald article said.
According to the piece, police asked Cannings to move on after an incident, however he refused and was then taken to Byron Bay police station and issued an infringement notice for breaching the peace.
Hate to have been one of the coppers trying to cuff the big fella.
