Bullocking forward and international lock Jason Taumololo, who is 25, was charged by police for his part in the ruckus along with his teammates.  

Why Taumololo was allegedly driving around town hurling eggs with four players his junior is yet to be determined, but Green didn’t seem phased by the distraction to his side’s qualifying final against the Storm on Saturday night.

“There’s been an alleged egging overnight, of which a couple of our players are alleged to be involved in,” Green said.

“We will be conducting a full investigation, but nothing will change for this weekend and the club, once we get to the bottom of the facts, will make some decisions about what happens when we get back next week.

“The club has been in contact with the integrity unit ... I’ve also personally spoken to Todd Greenberg this morning, he’s aware of it.

“We are focused on getting the game out of the way and we will sort it out next week.”

Police were tipped off to the egging raid by a member of the public after the car the players were in was pulled over for a random breath test.

Police found empty egg cartons in the car and have determined where the players bought the eggs.

“In the whole scheme of things though, lets keep it in context, we are talking about an egging here, whilst the club don’t condone that sort of behaviour, it’s certainly not what we expect from our players,” Green said.

“If it does turn out to be true, we are very aware of the impact we have on the community and our players, I think all in all do a pretty good job at trying to help the community wherever they can.

“It’s disappointing if it does turn out to be true as it’s not what we are about as a club, but as I said in the whole scheme of things we are talking about an egging here and let’s keep it in context.

“Back when I was the same age, I probably would have been as much trouble as these boys, if it does turn out to be true.”
