Rabbitohs Player Stood Down


Recommended Posts

Cody Walker, new recruit to Bunnies from Storm, has been stood down following charges of domestic abuse. This follows the problem with  Kirisome Auva'a.

Walker will deny the charges.

 

There's been evidence that this sort of thing has become less of a problem with NRL players recently. The cases that do come up though make the headlines.

 

Sydney Morning Herald:

 

 

Another South Sydney player, Melbourne recruit Cody Walker, has been charged with domestic assault on the the eve of White Ribbon Day celebrations.

Walker has been stood down by the Rabbitohs indefinitely following two charges over an alleged incident last month. The 24 year old, who was recruited as halves cover for Adam Reynolds and Luke Keary, has been charged with 'stalk or intimidate intending to cause fear of physical or mental harm' and 'common assault.'

"Cody will be defending all charges," said Walker's manager, Kim Ingebrigsten.

It's the second time a Souths player has been in the headlines over domestic violence allegations in recent weeks. The NRL has suspended centre Kirisome Auva'a indefinitely after pleading guilty to recklessly injuring his ex-girlfriend in January. Auva'a won't be allowed to return until he has demonstrated behavioural change and undergone a series of counselling and education courses, but the ban will last a minimum of nine months.
