The Roosters winger was allegedly caught with 0.46 grams of cocaine at Ivy bar ahead of this weekend’s bye.

Meninga, who is readying his Australian troops for battle against New Zealand on Friday night, has no tolerance for bad off-field behaviour as evidenced in his banning of Andrew Fifita from last year’s Four Nations after the Sharks prop publicly supported one-punch killer Kieran Loveridge.

And it’s fair to say Meninga is not impressed with the former Kiwi representative’s arrest.

"He's been caught doing what he's doing," Meninga said.

"The game doesn't need this but now they're going to have to deal with it."

Kenny-Dowall is off contract at the end of the year and recently met with Newcastle coach Nathan Brown.

The Bondi club is not expected to re-sign him.
