Brandon Smith Questioned by Queensland Police Ahead of 150th NRL Game

South Sydney Rabbitohs hooker Brandon Smith was stopped and questioned by Queensland police at Coolangatta Airport ahead of his milestone 150th NRL game against the Gold Coast Titans. Smith was released without charge, and there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing, though the NRL Integrity Unit has sought an explanation from the Rabbitohs regarding the incident. The 29-year-old arrived on the Gold Coast with his teammates and is expected to play in the upcoming match, which is significant as he recently switched from the Sydney Roosters to the Rabbitohs mid-season. Queensland Police confirmed their interaction with Smith but declined to provide further details. Rabbitohs CEO Blake Solly also refrained from commenting, while the team prepares for a crucial game that could lift them off the bottom of the ladder. Smith has faced previous scrutiny, including a 2021 incident involving a party video, but remains a key player despite recent knee injuries limiting his appearances this season.
