The front rower was given a three and a half year suspended sentence for trafficking more than 10,000 MDMA tablets for the Rebels Motorcycle Club in Brisbane.

However, before any possible return Tumut must get clearance from Country Rugby League.

The CRL are waiting for more information on the case before deciding whether he would be allowed to play.

Meanwhile, coach Jarrad Teka believes Sunday’s clash with Young will be a perfect lead into the finals.

After a big win over Cootamundra, Teka expects the Blues will get a better test at Alfred Oval.

“It is a good game for us coming into finals,” Teka said.

Young were the first team to defeat Tumut this season, but Teka didn’t think they were too far off the mark but need to execute better.

Both clubs named unchanged starting sides.
