- Cronulla will take on Penrith today for place in NRL decider
- Mother of star player has been allegedly attacked
- Was accused of leaking Latrell Mitchell white powder photo
The mother of Cronulla Sharks superstar Braydon Trindall has allegedly been assaulted months after denying accusations of leaking the white powder images of Latrell Mitchell.
Mitchell was suspended for one game and fined $20,000 after a photo emerged showing him leaning over a white substance in a hotel room after a trip to Dubbo while injured.
In addition to the NRL’s penalty, the South Sydney Rabbitohs imposed their own fine of $100,000, with $80,000 suspended unless there is another breach of his contract or wellbeing program.
Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting the powder contained any illicit substances.
Trindall’s mother, Kerri Cochrane, was dragged into the scandal when she was accused of leaking the photo of Latrell Mitchell.
She strongly denied the accusations, stating that a fake Snapchat profile had been created using her name to distribute the image.
Amy Brown, who appeared in the photo with Mitchell, admitted to having a ‘bit of fun’ but denied leaking the image. She faced accusations from locals in Dubbo but has strongly rejected accusations she was involved in making the photo public.

Braydon Trindall has faced his own challenges this season after failing a roadside drug test and found guilty of drinking and using drugs while driving.
He was banned from driving for three months and missed a month of footy, but came back to lead the Sharks into the NRL finals in the absence of injured star Nicho Hynes.
He will line up alongside Hynes for Cronulla today against the Penrith Panthers at Accor Stadium for a place in the NRL grand final.
