Two NRL players are expected to plead guilty to charges laid after the Bulldog's Mad Monday celebrations, despite a lawyer's claim the media is to blame for their predicament.
Neither Adam Elliott nor Asipeli Fine appeared in court today, almost three months after they were photographed partying naked at the Harbour View Hotel.
But Fine's lawyer unleashed outside court saying the players were simply letting their hair down.
"The media's prying eyes through telescopic lenses invaded a private function organised by a club to preserve the privacy of these players at a time when everyone knew what they were going to be doing" Elias Tabchouri said.
"These are young men who are letting their hair down in simple circumstances that had been organised by the club and it should never have ever come to where it has come to today.
"Are you trying to suggest to me that locker room behaviour is somehow a crime?"
Mr Tabchouri said his client was now a free agent and he was unsure what the saga would cost him.
"It's difficult, look at the scrutiny, look at the scrutiny that's placed on these young men in relation to these matters."
While they are still negotiating details both lawyers hope to have the case finalised by Christmas.
