But the ex-Parramatta fullback told his sexual assault trial he wasn’t watching the game “that intently” and left the party at Fiji teammate Wes Naiqama’s Newcastle home to drive south to an event.
On day five of his trial at Newcastle District Court, Crown prosecutor Brian Costello challenged the footballer about why he would leave his friends with the game still going in order to see a woman he had “never met” before. Mr Costello put to the former State of Origin star that making a detour for the woman’s home showed he was not in “such a rush” and asked if he left the party early to “fit in a stop and have sex with her”.The main reason he left the buck’s was to “go to Sydney”, he said.
