Loading May was on Friday handed a three-year good behaviour bond at Parramatta Local Court for four counts of intentionally recording an intimate image without consent. He will also have to take part in 300 hours of community service. Magistrate Robyn Denes described May's offence as "reprehensible" and said it was "right on the cusp of a custodial sentence". She lectured May over the issue of consent in the context of the "#MeToo" movement and used an analogy about serving tea to highlight her point. "If you ask someone for a cup of tea, you ask them if you want milk or sugar with that," Magistrate Denes said.

"It makes it really simple. If you don't know they are going to consent, why would you assume they do consent? Do you just assume people want milk and sugar with their tea? No, you ask." May did not play one minute of first grade football for the Panthers last season and Penrith officials will argue that is more than enough punishment for the playmaker. Whether the NRL deem that argument as satifsactory remains to be seen. Greenberg will then turn his attention to Scott, Sivo and Reynolds. He will present the full findings of the NRL integrity unit and his recommendations for all three cases to the ARL Commission on Thursday. None of those three players have been charged with offences which carry a minimum jail term of more than 11 years - the threshold for the game's no-fault stand-down policy to be automatically triggered. That leaves the decision of how long the three players may or may not be sidelined at Greenberg's discretion.

Loading There was a twist in Scott's case on Friday, when the Canberra recruit pleaded not guilty to all six charges relating to an incident which occurred on the same street as the NRL's Moore Park headquarters. Scott's legal team believe police "clearly misunderstood their powers" during an incident in which police allege he assaulted two officers. "The police clearly misunderstood their powers and there is a significant concern about the manner upon which police conducted themselves, and we will flesh it out in due course," Scott's lawyer Danny Eid said. "Mr Scott is not guilty of all charges. At the end of the day, this is a man who has never been charged with any criminal matter. He’s got no criminal convictions."

Eid pointed to body-worn video footage - worn by police - as key evidence in Scott's defence. The Canberra recruit is expected to speak to disgruntled coach Ricky Stuart at Raiders training on Monday. Curtis Scott leaving Downing Centre Local Court on Friday. Credit:AAP Josh Reynolds is in a similar boat to Scott. He has pleaded not guilty to assault causing actual bodily harm in relation to an incident involving his former partner Arabella De Busso at his Caringbah home. But a backlog in court cases has meant Reynolds will not have his day in court until July. If Greenberg decides to sideline the Tigers star, he will miss 19 of 25 regular-season matches. To try and avoid that scenario, Reynolds' legal team are now pushing for an earlier hearing.
