According to The Daily Telegraph, Proctor played poker machines for a number of hours at the Locker Room Bar near Sydney’s Olympic Park.

The three other unnamed players joined him briefly. It is believed all four were not wearing masks as per NRL rules which kicked into effect after a spike in Brisbane.

However, Titans head of culture and performance Mal Meninga told Fox League on Friday he doens’t believe the players have anything to worry about.

Kevin Proctor is being looked at.

The Titans’ alleged breach comes after Tigers centre James Roberts and Eels utility Will Smith were seen at the Tim Tszyu fight on Wednesday evening and not wearing masks.

The NRL clamped down hard on Nathan Cleary, Latrell Mitchell and Josh Addo-Carr when they breached COVID-19 protocols in 2020.
