Things keep going from bad to worse for the Gold Coast Titans following their disastrous loss to the Bulldogs that was headlined by paper-thin defence and leaves them lucky to be in 15th.
News Corp Reports have emerged that former club captain Kevin Proctor is now being investigated by the club after allegedly sharing a video of himself vaping in a bathroom during the half-time break at Commbank Stadium.
Proctor posted the video on Instagram wearing a Titans polo, shaking his head and blowing smoke in what looked like a public restroom, with the caption ‘Not the half time vape’.
The video was shared not long after the half-time break in yesterday’s game. Proctor could now face disciplinary action from the club and even the venue now that smoking is banned in all major sporting stadiums in Australia.
While Proctor wasn’t playing in the match, he was the squad’s 19th man. He hasn’t played in the NRL since May.
It’s not the first time Proctor has drawn unwanted attention after a video leak. In 2017 Proctor and Jesse Bromwich were filmed snorting cocaine in a public space in Canberra following a Kiwis Test loss.
Proctor received a four-game ban and $20,000 fine from the club at the time and was forced to undertake 50 hours of community service.
Though the 33-year-old has a wealth of experience with 283 NRL games under his belt, reports had surfaced earlier in the year that he was being offered to Super League clubs – an offer that may be expedited following this recent display.
The news couldn’t come at a worse time for the Titans, who were pitiful in the first half of their must-win match against the Bulldogs and now sit four points behind 14th place.
They’re lucky not to be rooted to the foot of the ladder after the Tigers were controversially denied two points in their game against the Cowboys.
The club is expected to hand down a decision on Proctor’s fate in the coming hours.
