[edit] Controversy

Dane Tilse and other Newcastle Knights players were involved in a drunken incident in Bathurst, New South Wales in 2005 in which a 19-year-old woman alleged she was sexually assaulted. Although no official complaint was made and police did not lay any charges, the Newcastle board sacked Tilse and issued fines totalling $50,000 against 12 players over the incident at Charles Sturt University for breaching the club curfew.[1][2] Tilse was also de-registered by the NRL for a period of twelve months.[3]
