NSW State of Origin star Michael Jennings is reportedly set to argue 'racial profiling' lead to his arrest the night he was charged with offensive behaviour and hindering police.

Jennings, who did not appear at Parramatta Local Court on Monday, was charged after allegedly approaching officers in an aggressive manner, when they tried to speak to another man who was allegedly kicking a car park boom gate.

It's believed the Sydney Roosters player, who pleaded not guilty to the charges, told the man with him he was not obligated to present his identification and police allege Mr Jennings acted aggressively when they tried to question his companion.

The charges stem from an incident in Sydney's west following the Blues' victory in the second State of Origin match in Melbourne last month.

Outside court, Mr Jennings' lawyer Paul McGirr told the Daily Telegraph that his client will claim he was the target of 'black profiling' the night of the alleged incident.

'He reminded him of his rights and said they were being profiled because they were black and asked what they had done,' he said.

Mr McGirr said he was waiting to see the full brief of evidence, as it's believed police have CCTV from the night.

'There's some independent witnesses that have different versions and that's all I can say,' he told reporters.

The 27-year-old posted a video to his Instagram account from inside a Parramatta pub, just hours before his arrest on Saturday morning that paints the picture of his late-night adventure that ended in Sydney police station.

In the video, Jennings is seen dancing and singing along to a hip-hop song playing in the background.

The Sydney Roosters are investigating the alleged incident.

Jennings' matter is due to return to court on September 14 and he is not required to appear.
