Bulldogs forward Adam Elliott has been stood down over an incident in a Gold Coast restaurant, with fresh details entangling an NRLW star in the investigation.
Nine’s Danny Weidler reports that the second-rower is being probed over his behaviour at the venue over the weekend, whilst in the company of NRLW player Millie Boyle.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Elliott and Boyle were seen heading towards the bathrooms together. The pair are long-time friends.

There was no breach of the game’s biosecurity protocols, with the restaurant an approved venue by the NRL.
It is understood Elliott was asked to leave the establishment yesterday afternoon after drinking with teammates.
The NRL and the club were made aware of the incident this morning.
“The Bulldogs have been made aware of an incident involving Adam Elliott on the Gold Coast,” the club said in a statement.
“The club are currently working with the NRL Integrity Unit regarding the matter.
“As a result the Bulldogs have stood Elliott down from the final two matches of the season, until that process has been completed.”
Earlier this year, Elliott vowed to seek professional help for an alcohol problem after a string of off-field issues.
