Two NSW police officers plead not guilty over alleged assault of NRL star Tom Starling
Two serving New South Wales police officers have pleaded not guilty to common assault after a brawl with NRL star Tom Starling at a Central Coast venue more than three years ago.

The now 25-year-old Canberra Raiders player had been celebrating a friend's birthday at Kincumber's Shady Palms restaurant on December 5, 2020, when police were called to the venue and an altercation occurred.

Starling, who received facial injuries at the time, was initially charged with seven offences, including attempting to take a police officer's gun.

He was cleared of any wrongdoing last year.

The Las Vegas moment I knew James Tedesco was back
The Sydney Morning Herald
There's an old saying: you never knock a champion.
And we saw exactly why when James Tedesco starred in the Roosters' season-opening win over the Broncos in Las Vegas.
Brad Fittler made some comments about Tedesco last year when the Roosters were really struggling. He said when the team is not going well, Tedesco tries too hard. He stands at first receiver and tries to play like a half, he's taking hit-ups like a front-rower. He's trying so hard to find a glimmer of space he runs across the field and can cramp his support men.
I agree with everything Freddy said.
