Knights Player Faces Possible Fine Over Pub Incident At Hamilton

BY IAN CROUCH

Newcastle Knights five-eighth Mason Lino is facing a possible fine from the club over an incident at a Hamilton hotel last weekend.

Fairfax reports the 25-year-old was involved in a push-and-shove incident with two people at the Greenroof Hotel on Saturday night.

Knights CEO, Phil Gardner has issued a statement saying the club is aware of a "low-level" incident involving Lino at the weekend and the club is conducting a review and will work with the playing group to identify methods to best prepare for the rest of the season, including the avoidance of venues with previous issues.

The Greenroof Hotel is the same venue where prop Jacob Saifiti was knocked out and suffered a broken leg during an altercation in December last year.
