The NRL has come down hard on Latrell Mitchell after a controversial photo emerged, showing the star player in a compromising position.
Mitchell has been handed a breach notice, with the league citing his actions as bringing the game into disrepute.
The clock is ticking as Mitchell has five days to respond and face the music.
This scandal unfolded during Mitchell's recent trip to Dubbo, where he was involved in community work and kids' training clinics.
Despite currently nursing a foot injury, Mitchell is eager to make a comeback before the season ends.
However, this off-field drama has cast a shadow over his return to the field.
In a dramatic turn of events, the mother of Cronulla Sharks player Braydon Trindall has vehemently denied any involvement in sharing the controversial photo.
The mystery of who took the photo and leaked it online continues to puzzle everyone.
According to reports, Trindall's mother, Kerri Cochrane, has refuted claims linking her to the photo scandal in a fiery social media post.
It's a tale as old as time in the world of Rugby League - drama, scandal, and redemption.
Mitchell's future in the game hangs in the balance as he navigates through this storm, hoping to come out stronger on the other side.
As the saying goes, it's not over till the final whistle blows.
