The NRL has been hit with another potential drugs scandal with Canterbury forward Ofahiki Ogden charged with possession on Saturday night.


The Bulldogs confirmed to the Sydney Morning Herald an incident took place, and the NRL's integrity unit has been informed.

"The club was made aware of an incident involving Ofahiki Ogden overnight," Canterbury CEO Aaron Warbuton.

"We have reported everything to the NRL integrity unit. We can't comment further until we hear back from them.

"Ofahiki doesn't hold a contract past October 31."

Ogden, 25, has played 45 first grade games for the Bulldogs over four years, but the club has not offered him a new contract for next season.

Ogden's drugs charge comes only a week after Warriors teenager Reece Walsh was arrested outside a nightclub on the Sunshine Coast and was found in possession of cocaine.

Speaker stealing now drugs. What are the dogs doing. Kick em out and distribute their players equally amongst the other teams.

What makes you think our blokes don’t do it?
We just have hopeless dealers.

 

[supercoach]

NRL have never taken drugs seriously. They would throw the book at a token player but turn a blind eye when a couple of glamour clubs were eating the stuff every weekend.
They were afraid of the adverse publicity of going after the big names and my guess nothing has changed

RLPA... no testing after the season, invasion of privacy.

Even the hangers-on (with their phones at the ready for filming/tiktok-ing), dickheads and dealers don't want to be associated with Wests Tigers or the players...

Could not think of anything more annoying than hanging around coked up footy players.
