Excerpt from Fairfax Media
North Queensland's NRL finals preparations have been dealt a blow, with superstar forward Jason Taumalolo among five Cowboys set to face court after an alleged egging spree in Townsville on Wednesday night.
Taumalolo, who attended the NRL's Captain's Call in Sydney on Monday, is the only first grade player in a group who were stopped by police and charged with two counts of wilful damage after the incident which allegedly occurred outside a convenience store in Townsville.
"There's been an alleged egging overnight, of which a couple of our players are alleged to be involved in," Cowboys coach Paul Green told reporters.
"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.
"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" he added.
When police pulled over the players' car for a random breath-test about 11.30pm on Wednesday, the officers allegedly discovered a number of eggs and egg cartons in the vehicle.
A member of the public approached the officers at the time and claimed the people in the same vehicle had thrown eggs at vehicles parked outside a convenience store on Hugh Street in Currajong, a suburb of Townsville, earlier in the night.
In a statement, Queensland Police said the men - aged 18, 21, 22, 23 and 25 - had allegedly entered the convenience store about 10pm and "purchased a number of eggs".
"As the men left the business, it will be alleged they threw eggs at five vehicles parked nearby, causing damage, before driving off in a vehicle," police said.
"A number of vehicles suffered minor damage in the alleged incident."
The players have been issued with court attendance notices for two counts each of wilful damage. They are due to appear in Townsville Magistrates Court on October 11.
The other four players charged are a mix of Holden Cup and lower grade players.
The Cowboys face the Melbourne Storm on Saturday night in the first week of the finals, with a spot in the grand final qualifier on the line.
