Canberra Raiders recruit Curtis Scott is facing charges of resisting arrest after being tasered by police following Australia Day celebrations in Sydney.
Scott spent last night in jail after being arrested in the Moore Park area.
The Daily Telegraph is reporting that club officials have not yet informed the NRL integrity unity and coach Ricky Stuart was only informed of the incident earlier this morning.
NSW Police released a statement regarding the arrest on Monday.
"A man will appear before court after he allegedly assaulted police and resisted arrest.
"About 12.45am, Monday 27 January 2020, police were called to Driver Avenue, Moore Park, following reports a man was acting erratically.
"Officers attached to Surry Hills Police Area Command located the man and attempted to assist him.
"The 23-year-old man allegedly became aggressive and kicked and punched one of the officers.
"The man was tasered and arrested.
What a muppet. I guess if you want to punch on with cops then you get what you deserve. Sticky better find a new centre for round 1.
GONE!!! His NRL days are over. We’ve also torn up contracts for less…such a shame, would have loved to see him in the green. So Leilua now gone to Tigers and now Scott is out of the NRL. Our centre numbers have diminished drastically. Cotric into the centre spot, and bring in Harley Smith Shields…
Not an Australian day unless a former or current raider gets arrested
This kid seems to have a lot going on, it seems to have stemmed from the punch with Dylan walker. He was a good chance at making his SOO debut but has only gone on to injuries, misbehavior and getting cut from a storm team that are incredibly low on outside backs
@swa9amuff1n ummm this is the first arrest that’s occurred on Australia day by any player affiliated with the Raiders…Todd Carney got arrested in March for the car chase, Furgo arrested on blues camp while he was a Raider…so yeah, what a stupid comment…all the above players had contracts torn up which means Raiders wanted nothing to do with them any longer…Jack Wighton the only player to be given another chance after being arrested, again not on Australia day, and a Clive Churchill medalist, so you can say he’s turned a new leaf. So check your facts champ before you try and rubbish my club…
I just love the way that Backyard Lane turns every story into a ”hate Souths” story. Nothing to do on the long weekend but rise from his cot, have his mother change his nappy and sit him up in front of his computer whilst she types what he says. What a waste of space.
Scott’s biggest mistake here is being arrested in Sydney rather than ether Bali or Fiji.
I notice Zerotackle hasn’t put anything up about Joe Ofahengaue getting done for DUI even though it’s his 3rd strike.
Wouldn’t want to upset the Donkeys would you Zerotackle.
Chalky go watch your rabbits train at their goat track Redfern Oval. Stop worrying about the great thoughts of Brennan.
I watch Souths train last week and they are pathetic. Also at night there are large divots in the surface from drunken Abnormal Originals getting into fights and spear tackling the losing victim over who buys the next cast of wine, lots of singing, singing out and no anthem singers. What a dump of a place.
Cmon Kev, broom, lift carpet, sweep then repeat!! Like I said a few weeks ago, thereโs one set of rules for some clubs and the others are treated like leperโs.
Well spotted Kev.
Let’s see how the “integrity commission” sorts all this out.
Mark, you’re an absolute disgrace. Just another racist hiding in your room behind a key board. If you feel so strongly, get yourself down to Redfern and tell them what you think face to face. You know, like a man.
This GRUB should be banned for life
This D#HEAD should be rubbed out for life
Whatโs the backup plan? With bj gone to the tigers and rapana of to union, and now this what do the raiders do.
Great Scott. Canberra will be without two centres now that the grand final bomber has departed also.
I heard a rumour Soufths have offered Gagai to Canberra as he thinks he is a centre when he is not, and Canberra need a centre who are desperate.
Plan C for the Raiders will prevail though as they will do a carbon copy tactic as Souths and sweep everything under the carpet. If it was good enough for the NRL to let Burgess the Facebook Flasher off even though his ex wife did not, or the drunk Inglis speed across hundreds of Kms drunk only to get a slap on the wrist.
Then Scott at worst will be suspended only for the nines…..If….. and I want to make this absolutely clear. IF….. they employ the Souths tactics. Of sweeping it under the carpet.
And to think I was worried our sporting elite would let us all down this off season. Boy have they proved me wrong the last few days I’ll never doubt their character again.
I was just a small joke about players and off field issues wasnโt attacking your club or anything
But there is a like of players Josh Pappalii Blake Ferguson Josh Dugan Todd Carney Jack Wighton Junior Paulo
Every club that I can think of has had some player on its books thatโs had off field issues
@toddy123 I would say that at this stage Cotric goes to the centres and Michael Oldfield comes in on the wing.
1. CNK
2. Oldfield
3. Croker
4. Cotric
5. Simonsson
Until we’re in the market for another centre…

โI was just a small joke about players and off field issues wasnโt attacking your club or anythingโ
Don’t upset people with jokes buddy, I have learnt my lessons with the soft souths olympic park western suburbs stay at home transit.lounge rabbit fans. They just canโt take a the truth or a joke.
Let me give you a demonstration.
Curtis Scott would be wishing right now that he was a South/Western Sydney rabbit with all the players that get their crimes swept under the carpet at Redfern Goony drinking Park.
I have it on good authority that Curtis like all other players who assaulted people this off season will be fined 10k only.
Chalky, lane is an imposter and a clown who bags our his team (allegedly). Come on Lane just tell them the truth… youโre a Rooster. We all know it.
….. I saw the footage of Souffs first 2020 training session ‘featuring’ Trell, I thought they were filming a new series of ‘Biggest Loser’…
@greenblooded thanks mate
What would your thoughts be on the raiders getting someone like Scott drinkwater? From what Iโve read it seems drinkwater doesnโt exactly have a position in the starting lineup. Heโs got strength and speed would make a good centre perhaps
You Easts guys just can’t handle the truth, that Souths have more supporters world wide, won more comps, and have more juniors, you guys are so jealous it makes me sick, with laugher, rabbit17 all know on this site who that moron lane is and adam h, its woodchoook he’s probably mark, as well , and what about that loser chookst, going to Souths training to watch his beloved Latrell train with his mate mark. both can’t handle the fact Latrell brushed Easts, anyway it is amusing to watch them carry on about Souths in every post ZT make.
Hate to say it but Scott has to be dumped by Canberra, you just can’t assult police and think their be no consequences , what a moron, and bad timing realeasing Leilua to the tigers.
Zero Tackle strikes again with their โselectโ moderation of comments!! Yet thereโs 1 individual who can say whatever he wants over 10 different log ins for the last few years now and that is ok!! Lift your game ZT cause this is getting embarrassing now
penso spot on, you assault Police and get tasered then your not a fit person to play nrl
Great timing raiders releasing Leilua to the tigers. Almost as good as manly’s timing with Api. ๐๐๐
Iโm a Raiders fan and what really pisses me off is the disrespect he has shown to Ricky Stuart and the players.
Scott signs on with a new club he know BJ has left so he pretty much has a starting spot but the guy obviously has a
mental problem because what Buffon gets so drunk on Aust Day months out from the season ends up passed out on the steps
of the Police Station gets woken up and he starts to kick and punch the Police.
The guy was passed out in his own urine.
I have no idea what his contact states but he will be out for awhile his court date Feb 20th.
So BrennanWoodNugget.
A player who is so drunk ; that he is passed out in a park , up against a tree . Who punches the police when awoken by them & resists arrest Thatโs a player whoโs now looking to sign up at the French Dressed Chickens? That sounds about right!
Donโt upset people with jokes. Maybe people should not be so offended.
I made a joke about the raiders and nrl players and off field issues. If someone wishes to take that as me offending them they can get over it.
You might be a fan of your club, you might even be the CEO idc. I made a joke about your club I didnโt make a joke about you. Get over it
Curtis will always be a champion and a real good bloke because he punched the f out of the woman basher and cry baby Dylan Walker
but he needs to focus his anger on the footy field at not at cops !
if he wants to punch out the big mouths and make grown men cry he will just have to wait until round 4
@toddy123, I’m sure Peter Mulholland is looking at all avenues right now. I’m hearing Adam Doueihi might be a possible target, but Drinkwater would also be a great buy. It all depends on what the NRL decides on Scott…if Scott doesn’t get contract torn up I’ll be very surprised. The only way I can see him staying at the Raiders is a signed agreement for a total booze ban. I think Scott is gone IMO, from the NRL…no club will be allowed to pick him up, not this season any way. I’m thinking 2 years suspension, at least.
Angryeagle you are a clown. There is no way Scott will be playing by round 4.
Ivy Pool Bar…says it all really. Tossers paradise.
Jack Wighton went out in November 2018 , drunk out of his mind. Assaulted several people & was fine to go around all of last year for Canberra, NSW etc.
So Curtis Scott should be fine with the Raiders . His best friend should be Wighton. Except if they both go out drinking together. Maybe theyโll want to punch each other out? Or look out general public & the police.
In fact ,Todd Carney would be scratching his head. If Canberraโs fine with Scottโs & Wightonโs behaviour? Was he so much worse than them , when at the Raiders?
Do you think the next player at the Raiders to mess up will want to knife or shoot someone ? Really push the limits . That should be fine with the Raiders as well , shouldnโt it?
Yes, I know Wighton was suspended for six games. Still just a slap on the wrist!
Mitchell Pearce stood down for half the season for what again?
Wighton didn’t assault police. Thats worse and deserves harsher penalties
Wow I just realised scott kicked and punched a female officer. What a low life!
So assaulting several people, isnโt as bad as assaulting police? Isnโt it exactly the same thing , without the uniforms?
EOD, it is and it isn’t. Assault is assault, I agree with that, but there is a level of respect that needs to be shown to police, which clearly wasn’t the case here. As far as the NRL is concerned though, there should be no difference. On the Todd Carney thing, he was a repeat offender, that is why he was sacked by Canberra, and ultimately the NRL. Whilst his indiscretions may not have been as bad in isolation, his list is quite long. He has been done for mid range drink driving, driving recklessly, without a licence multiple times. Done for damaging property (vehicle), set a blokes pants on fire… the bloke never seemed to learn from his mistakes and only has himself to blame for what has happened.
I agree that you should respect the police & the law.
Still , assaulting several people is the same as assaulting police. Both should bring with them at least a years ban from the game. After serving whatever sentence is imposed for the offences.
Was what May done , so much worse than bashing people? It didnโt bring any physical battering with it. Just humiliation. Not saying I agree with what he did & he probably deserved at least a year out of the game.
So did Wighton deserve at least a year out of the game. As does Curtis Scott now.
Carney was being an idiot all the time. He was just my example of the double standards , that are used.
Yeah, i don’t disagree with any of that. Harsher penalties are needed in my opinion. At the end of the day, these guys accept all of the good things that come with being a professional sports player like the money etc, so they need to accept that they are always in the public eye, so they need to behave, or face serious penalties when they don’t.
I agree there are double standards, but I think there are probably better examples than Carney. David Fifita is a recent one where e should have been suspended but got off without any penalty from the NRL.
a number of journos are saying that there is lot under the surface with scott than they can release
Thatโs probably correct eeks47. It was just handy that Carney also played there . ๐๐ป
Oh no, both last yearโs grand finalists are gonna be majorly short on centres come RND 1 ๐คฃ๐๐คฃ๐
Damn I LOVE league
Curtis Scott is a rockstar centre. I couldn’t believe Storm unloaded him given he was on $500K, which he is easily worth when fit and playing….gamebreaker., x-factor…as good as Munster on his day. when i heard Storm is paying $200K of that salary for 2 years and Canberra is only paying $300K i f’n choked. clearly there are MASSIVE issues bellamy couldn’t overcome. still would have thought some club would have taken him at $500K without storm having to toss in.
