Wests Tigers star Benji Marshall has been isolated from the team thanks to a kiss on the cheek.
NRL newsbreaker Danny Weidler shared the bizarre story of Marshall being sent away from the team after being kissed on the cheek by a reporter.
“The Wests Tigers are aware of a biosecurity matter at training today involving co-captain Benji Marshall,” the club said in a statement.
“Marshall was involved in a social distancing incident with an accredited reporter, which was immediately reported to the NRL as per guidelines.
“Under those guidelines, Marshall will remain at home tomorrow — which is a scheduled day off for Wests Tigers NRL squad — while the reporter undergoes a COVID-19 test.
“Assuming a negative result is returned, no further action will be required by Marshall or Wests Tigers.”

The NRL is operating under strict guidelines in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic with players and staff effectively banned from contact with anyone outside of the “bubble”.
Marshall broke those guidelines when he greeted Channel 7 reporter Michelle Bishop who will now undergo a COVID-19 test to confirm both Marshall and the Tigers are all clear.

Bishop addressed the incident on social media shortly afterwards.
“Just goes to show you, we can all get caught up in life and forget what kind of world we are living in at the moment,” she wrote.
“Off to be tested #innocent #awkward #apologies.”

The incident adds to a rough week for Marshall who was brutally axed from the Wests Tigers’ team for their round five match against the Canberra Raiders.
Former State of Origin star Josh Reynolds will replace the 33-year-old at five eighth and will partner Luke Brooks in the halves on Saturday.
Although Marshall is equal second in Dally M voting after round four, it’s not enough to earn him a spot in coach Michael Maguire’s team this weekend.
