The career of former Kangaroo and NSW forward Tony Williams appears over with he and another Parramatta teammate understood to have recorded a second strike under the code’s illicit drugs policy.

Williams and utility back Nathan Davis will not be offered new Eels contracts after the pair became embroiled in the NRL’s latest drugs scandal. Both players are understood to have tested positive to cocaine, which if confirmed at a disciplinary hearing this week would be a second strike under the policy and incur an automatic 12-match suspension.

It is the latest incident to overshadow the NRL finals series after Canterbury was hit with a proposed $250,000 fine for the behaviour of its staff and players during Mad Monday celebrations. South Sydney has also kept the NRL’s integrity unit busy with a lewd video tape scandal from an unidentified woman, just as revelations emerged that forward Zane Musgrove is facing domestic violence allegations.

The Williams and Davis situation is yet another setback in a horror season for Parramatta. The club was hoping to stay out of the headlines after earning the club's third wooden spoon in seven seasons. However, the Eels are now in the process of arranging disciplinary hearings for the pair.
