Former Canterbury and Wests Tigers playmaker Brandon Wakeham has been arrested after he was picked up by police at training on Wednesday.
Wakeham, currently contracted to Manly’s feeder club Blacktown, has not been formally charged. Sources with knowledge of the situation, speaking on the condition of anonymity given charges haven’t been laid, said Wakeham is suspected of supplying a quantity of MDMA and possessing cocaine.After a 15-game NRL stint with the Tigers last year, Wakeham switched to Blacktown in the hope of becoming a back-up for established Manly halves Daly Cherry-Evans and Luke Brooks.
The 25-year-old has made 10 appearances for Blacktown, where he was named to play alongside fellow half Jake Arthur for Sunday’s NSW Cup clash against Canterbury at North Sydney Oval.The drama has come at an inopportune time for rugby league officials, who are spruiking the opening women’s State of Origin match on Thursday night and the commencement of the NRL’s Magic Round in Brisbane on Friday night.
The development could result in Trindall, named on an extended bench, being available for Saturday’s clash with Cronulla.
