Fresh twist in NRL white powder scandal as mother of Cronulla Sharks star fighting for spot in grand final is allegedly ASSAULTED in a pub
- Cronulla will take on Penrith today for a place in the NRL decider
- Star player’s mother was allegedly attacked
- Was accused of leaking a white powder photo of Latrell Mitchell
The mother of Cronulla Sharks superstar Braydon Trindall has reportedly been attacked months after she denied allegations of leaking Latrell Mitchell’s white powder images.
Mitchell was suspended for one match and fined $20,000 after a photo emerged of him leaning over a white substance in a hotel room after a trip to Dubbo while injured.
In addition to the NRL fine, the South Sydney Rabbitohs have been imposed their own $100,000 fine, with $80,000 suspended unless there is a further breach of his contract or welfare program.
Ny Breaking Australia does not suggest the powder contained illegal substances.
Trindall’s mother, Kerri Cochrane, was drawn into the scandal when she was accused of leaking Latrell Mitchell’s photo.
She strongly denied the allegations, stating that a fake Snapchat profile was created with her name to spread the image.
Amy Brown, who appeared in the photo with Mitchell, admitted she was having “a bit of fun” but denied leaking the image. She faced accusations from locals in Dubbo but has strongly rejected allegations that she was involved in making the photo public.
