A liaison with NRLW star Millie Boyle at a Gold Coast restaurant is reportedly behind the Bulldogs' decision to stand down Adam Elliott for the rest of the season as more details of the alleged incident come to light.
On Monday, Canterbury confirmed it was co-operating with the NRL Integrity Unit regarding an investigation into Elliott being asked to leave a restaurant on Sunday afternoon.
It has since been revealed management at the venue asked Elliott to leave after he was discovered in the men's bathroom with Boyle.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports the pair were kissing in the bathroom because they did not want to be seen by wives and partners of other Bulldogs players at the restaurant.
Boyle, who plays for the Broncos, told The Daily Telegraph: "Look, all we did was have a kiss in the bathroom. It's been taken way out of context. It's a big kerfuffle about nothing."
