Report: NRL player found on Melbourne doorstep
September 30th 11:50am
Melbourne Storm and Victoria Police are investigating an incident which left a Storm player hospitalised with facial cuts on Monday.
A Melbourne Storm player was on Monday morning found on the doorstep of a Melbourne home, according to reports.
The Storm has confirmed the club is investigating the incident after an ambulance was called to the house in Richmond.
The player suffered facial cuts and is being treated in hospital.
The Herald Sun reports the club was told of the incident around 8am (AEST) on Monday morning.
The report also claims the player involved did not play in the club’s grand final qualifier loss to the Roosters at the SCG on Saturday night.
The 14-6 loss ended the Storm’s season.
The Storm released a statement on Monday morning, confirming Victoria Police are also investigating the incident.
“Melbourne Storm is aware that one of our NRL contracted players has been treated in hospital this morning for facial cuts and will undergo further medical tests today,” a club statement said.
“We can confirm there is no on-going investigation by Victoria Police into the matter.
“The player, who was not part of our preliminary final squad on Saturday night, is expected to be able to return home today.
“He will continue to be supported by Storm medical and player well-being staff.”

Pretty sure Fox Sports are clear on that
But that doesn't add to the hype, does it...

I dont imagine he's broken any laws or even club rules but when you're hoping to replace the GOAT...it's not a good look...

Let's put it down to the impetuosity of youth and hope he learns from it pretty darn quickly

Harry Grant. Walking home after a big night drinking tripped, face planted the ground and fall asleep around the corner from his house. Home owner found him outside his house this morning and thought he had been assaulted.
Some players do party yesterday. Plenty of photos on social media

Fox making out like it's the crime of the century. Got drunk, fell over and went to sleep. Not great but no big deal. Nobody assaulted, nobody groped, no windows smashed or police cars pissed on.

Club should sue fox on behalf of players and fans. If it starts costing them to bully our boys, they'll stop making s### up quick smart.

Just read in todays Telegraph. That the day after Grant was released from hospital he took flowers and a slab of beer around to the peoples house that called the ambulance for him. How come that part of the story is not reported in Melbourne or even mentioned on the Fox Sports News site.
