Bulldogs star Corey Harawira-Naera posted a bizarre video on TikTok the day his team travelled to Port Macquarie prior to the sex scandal that’s rocked the club on the eve of the 2020 NRL season.

Harawira-Naera is seen dancing shirtless and mouthing the lyrics “girl, you know you turn me on” in a video posted February 25, the day his club travelled to NSW mid-north coast.

Harawira-Naera and teammate Jayden Okunbor have been stood down by the Bulldogs pending an investigation after they breached the NRL’s code of conduct by bringing two teenage girls back to the team hotel.

One of the girls was a student, who Okunbor had met on a club visit to her school.

The video from the Bulldgos star’s account was posted on TikTok, an increasingly popular social media platform for young people, which also features accounts belonging to a number of NRL players.

Harawira-Naera is filming dancing and singing along to L.A.B’s ‘In the Air’ which also includes lyrics such as ‘Can I take you on a ride?’ and ‘Loving your romance tonight.’

The Bulldogs forward has posted a number of videos to his account, including one where he’s seen slamming down a Great Northern beer.

Bulldogs CEO Andrew Hill confirmed that the club is investigating the incident.

“I can confirm that the breaches do relate to players bringing young females of a consensual age back to the team hotel,” he said.

“The club wishes to reiterate that while neither player is the subject of a current police investigation, these are very concerning matters that the club has treated very seriously.”

Sydney Morning Herald reporter Michael Chammas revealed on Triple M’s Rush Hour with Mg that the club had been looking into the matter before it was made public yesterday.

“This came to the Bulldogs on Friday and there’s been a series of interviews with the people involved since then and they’ve decided to take this course of action,” he said.

“The girls were in high school, but they were of legal age, however, the club made the moral judgement this was against what they stood for and decided in consultation with the NRL that they’d stand them down.”

Channel Nine’s Danny Weidler said on the Big Sports Breakfast Program on Wednesday morning that “heavy penalties” were looming for the players.

L.A.B ‘In the Air’

Oh, I feel it everywhere

It’s cold breathing in the dark

Take me on, I’ll lead you there

And call me when you’ll be far

I don’t wanna let you down

Is not leaving up to long

Oh, I feel it in the air

You know me, I’ll keep you on

It’s evident you want me now (baby)

My heart’s beating on the floor

I see it and then turn around

You move me but I want more

The memory is in the air

(The memory is in the air)

And music is all we need

Oh, I feel it, can’t you see?

(Can’t you see?)

You know me, I’ll keep you there

Oh, I get that feeling

Can I take you on a ride?

(Take you on a ride?)

Knowing what I know

Can see it, baby, in your eyes?

‘Cause it’s going where it’s full ‘til the morning

On a friday night, hey

I can take a chance

Loving your romance tonight

Girl, you know you turn me on

(Know you turn me on)

I like it, oh, can’t you see?

The way your moving on the floor

(Moving on the floor)

The fire, yeah, the way you breathe

Can I take you home tonight?

(You can take me home tonight)

We’re flying beneath the sheets

Holding on to make me strong

Tonight is the night I need
