The Parramatta NRL club has confirmed that a number of its players were in attendance at a Parramatta hotel in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Club management moved to investigate the matter after allegations regarding player conduct were raised on Sydney radio this morning.

Parramatta CEO Denis Fitzgerald, along with head coach Michael Hagan and senior management met with members of the full time squad at Parramatta Stadium following this morning’s training session.

Discussions were also held with management of the venue in question.

As a result of these investigations the club has decided not to take any further action at this time.

“I’m disappointed that a number of players were out late however we are satisfied that they were not misbehaving and they’ve been warned again about their responsibilities as professional athletes and public figures,” Parramatta CEO Denis Fitzgerald said.

“Management and the player leadership group have once again impressed upon all players that they conduct themselves in such a manner that will reduce the opportunity for this kind of attention in the future.”
