Lawrence Shepherd is led away. However, the PLC turned him away as it leases the land from the trust and can refuse patrons who are suspended for disciplinary reasons. "The club can confirm that suspended persons who have been trying to get into the club have been moved on," Parramatta Leagues Club boss Bevan Paul said. As the scenes unfolded, Fitzgerald - the subject of an investigation by the Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing in relation to his tenure as chief executive officer - was seen capturing the images on his camera phone. In a separate incident, one member was busted trying to vote twice on Saturday.

England bound?: Dave Taylor may be one of the first benficiaries of the marquee allowance in the Super League.

Shepherd and Fitzgerald have gone on record as being advisers to the Parramatta Professionals candidates. Great reward: Sharks members who attended the storm game against the Rabbitohs have been sent a memento of the night. In another bizarre twist, Fitzgerald and former Eels captain Ray Price - who is backing the Parramount ticket - appear to have brokered an alliance, of sorts, after years of hostility in a bid to get the numbers to dethrone the incumbent board led by Steve Sharp.

WALKER CLEARED South Sydney recruit Cody Walker is now eligible for NRL selection after being cleared of domestic violence charges. The 2013 Intrust Super Cup player of the year was charged over an incident last October, but was found not guilty at a court hearing in Forster on Thursday. The playmaker has added spark for feeder club North Sydney in recent weeks and the Rabbitohs have confirmed he is now eligible for selection for first grade. Walker was recruited for the Storm to bolster the premiers' halves stocks and could be a handy option if required to cover for Adam Reynolds or Luke Keary.

TAYLOR SUPER SIGHT Dave Taylor will be heading to the Super League at the end of the year if Gold Coast officials have their way. The Maroons forward, whose lawyer was in court on Friday in relation to drugs charges levelled against his client and several teammates, is contracted to the Titans until the end of next year. However, the club is keen to move the big bopper on and is prepared to pay part of his freight if it means freeing up some salary cap space. Complicating matters is the fact the 26-year-old's court case is likely to drag well into next year or even beyond.

Should he move to the Old Dart, there's a chance he could become one of the first players to qualify for the Super League's marquee allowance, which is expected to be ratified soon. Under the scheme, English clubs will be able to play marquee players as much as they like - with only the first 200,000 pounds counting on the salary cap. TIMING OUT The NRL's Women in League round is a wonderful initiative that celebrates the contribution of women at all levels of the game. But one has to question the timing of the festivities - why does governing body put it on a week after Mother's Day? The Sharks got in early by sending all their female staff and player partners to a screening of chick flick Pitch Perfect 2 on Thursday. It's part of a two-week celebration that culminates in a cocktail event on May 14 with special guests Pru Goward, ARLC director Catherine Harris and Men of League boss Corene Strauss.

TOO GRUESOME Peta Hiku went down with a leg injury in the Anzac Test and signalled to the trainers that he was gone, only to play a major role in New Zealand's upset win over Australia. Given the miraculous recovery - the Manly winger set up a try and was one of the Kiwis' best - some may wonder whether he was that hurt at all. We can assure you that the injury was a serious one indeed - we've seen a photo of his shin, which looks like a bullet has gone straight through it. Our sports editor, in his infinite wisdom, deemed it too gruesome for publication. EAGLES TAKE HIT

Manly's bottom line has taken another hit after the club settled out of court the unfair dismissal cases of two female staffers. The Sea Eagles are expected to post a loss of $1.5 million for the financial year. Mary Finkelsen, who looked after the club's key accounts and was also the conduit to the famed female supporters group Eagles Angels, was one of the former staffers to receive a payout. T FOR THANKS These are the spiffy keepsakes given to diehard Cronulla members who braved the elements in their epic win over South Sydney last month. Sharks staffer Liam Tapper models the T-shirts, which the club, in conjunction with the NRL, printed up as a thank you to its most loyal supporters.
