AN alleged nude video chat scandal has hit the NRL on the eve of the second week of the finals series.
According to an exclusive story in The Daily Telegraph, South Sydney is investigating accusations “high profile” players left a 23-year-old woman feeling “violated and disgusted” when a Facebook video chat turned lewd.
The accusations have swept across the NRL and hijacked public attention away from the NRL finals with morning TV and radio conversations instead dominated by the South Sydney scandal.
The conversation turned quickly to the impact the scandal could have on the Bunnies’ season with NRL great Laurie Daley declaring the added scrutiny has the potential to “ruin their season”.
Daley told Sky Sports Radio on Friday morning the players will be affected by the arrival of television cameras at Friday’s final training session.
“This story will get bigger and bigger as the days and weeks go on and the Rabbitohs have got a big game against the Dragons on Saturday night, so I’m just wondering how much this will shake them and put them under the microscope,” he said.
“You can only imagine at today’s captain’s run what it is going to be like. Every television and radio and newspaper journalist will be there and they’ll be looking for comment from the players.
“This has got the potential to ruin their season.”
When asked if it could derail their season, Daley said: “100 per cent”.
