Updated statement regarding Brandon Smith
The South Sydney Rabbitohs are aware of an allegation made by Queensland Police against player Brandon Smith.
The Club has informed the NRL Integrity Unit about the allegation.
In respect to the matter at hand, through his solicitor Paul McGirr, the Club understands that Brandon was not physically in the jurisdiction of Queensland when this matter was alleged to have occurred, and therefore, we are instructed that the matter will be contested.
As this matter is before the court, the Club cannot, and will not, be making any further comment at this stage, in order to preserve the integrity of the investigation and process.
