- Cronulla to face Penrith today for place in NRL decider
- The mother of the star player would have been attacked
- He was accused of leaking a photo of Latrell Mitchell’s white powder
The mother of Cronulla Sharks superstar Braydon Trindall was allegedly attacked months after denying allegations of leaking Latrell Mitchell’s white powder footage.
Mitchell was suspended for one game and fined $20,000 after a photo emerged showing him bending over a white substance in a hotel room following a trip to Dubbo while injured.
In addition to the NRL sanction, the South Sydney Rabbitohs imposed their own $100,000 fine, with $80,000 suspended unless there is another breach of their contract or welfare programme.
Daily Mail Australia does not suggest the powder contains illicit substances.
Trindall’s mother, Kerri Cochrane, was dragged into the scandal when she was accused of leaking Latrell Mitchell’s photo.
She strongly denied the allegations and claimed that a fake Snapchat profile had been created using her name to distribute the image.
Amy Brown, who appeared in the photo with Mitchell, admitted to having “a little fun” but denied leaking the image. She faced accusations from locals in Dubbo, but strongly rejected accusations that she was involved in making the photo public.

Fairfax has reported that Tiffany Murphy, 36, has been charged with assault resulting in bodily injury and harassment.
It comes after police investigated an incident at the Pastoral Hotel in the early hours of Saturday, August 24.
“Police were informed that a 44-year-old woman was allegedly assaulted by a woman at a licensed premises in Talbragar Street, Dubbo, at around 2am that morning,” a spokesperson told Fairfax.
It is believed that they knew each other. Following investigations, at around 6.30pm on Tuesday 3 September 2024, police arrested a 36-year-old woman at an address in Dubbo.
“She was taken to Dubbo Police Station where she was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and stalking/intimidation with intent to cause fear, bodily harm etc. She was issued with a court attendance notice to appear at Dubbo Local Court. Dubbo on Wednesday, October 16, 2024.
Latrell Mitchell was suspended for one game and fined $20,000 for the image.
Murphy is scheduled to appear in court in Dubbo on October 16.
Braydon Trindall has faced his own challenges this season after failing a roadside drug test and being convicted of drinking and using drugs while driving.
He was banned from driving for three months and missed a month of football, but returned to lead the Sharks to the NRL final in the absence of injured star Nicho Hynes.
Today he will line up alongside Hynes for Cronulla against the Penrith Panthers at Accor Stadium for a place in the NRL grand final.
