NRL trio Latrell Mitchell, Josh Addo-Carr and Tyronne Roberts-Davis have been fined $1000 each for breaching health regulations by attending a 12-person camping trip.

South Sydney star Mitchell, Melbourne Storm winger Addo-Carr and Newcastle’s Roberts-Davis were sprung blatantly flouting lockdown laws with the weekend getaway.

Police also confirmed they are investigating potential firearm breaches at the property.

In addition to the potential firearm breaches, 7NEWS understands Mitchell is looking at further fines for using an unregistered trail bike on South West Rocks beach.

Most people have been issued warnings for similar behaviour but given their profiles and the brazenness of Addo-Carr posting the trip on social media, police were left no choice.

“I think given the high profile of the stars they might have paid the price here given the offence in terms of social gathering was outrageous, going for days at a time,” 7NEWS reporter Robert Ovadia said.

“The NRL they are absolutely seething, they are doing their best to convince the state government and even national cabinet of how they can resume playing in late May and how they can do it safely.

“This is not the behaviour they want seen playing out on social media.”

NSW Police confirmed two men aged 22 and one aged 24 from the trip have been fined with the latter having “previously received a warning for breaching the Public Health Act”.

Mitchell and Roberts-Davis are 22. Addo-Carr is 24.

Mitchell apologised for the “slip up” camping trip which at least 11 other people attended, but he insisted their actions were not selfish.

“Foxy (Addo-Carr) reached out and had his cousins that are going through a bit of stuff in Sydney, so he just wanted to get away up to the bush and make sure they’re getting culturally connected again,” Mitchell said.

“We’re not being selfish, like I couldn’t turn down the brothers in their time of need.”

Addo-Carr posted a photo on Instagram of the Taree trip which he claimed was a “cultural gathering” where they were “learning about our land”.

“Nothing was intentional or deliberate. A couple of my family members are going through a really tough time at the moment,” Addo-Carr said.

“I got in contact with Latrell to go out to his private property and try to connect to our culture again and try and put a smile on their faces and have a bit of fun.

“I’m really sorry from the bottom of my heart.”

Under NSW guidelines, people can only leave the house for work, essential shopping, exercise, medical appointments and compassionate visits.

The drama could not have come at a worse time for the league.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian would not comment on Monday on whether the issue would affect the game’s chances of a May 28 resumption.

But the NRL hopes to convince government this week it can return safely given its biosecurity measures.

Teams have been threatened with the loss of points and heavy fines if any player breaks the rules.
