Brisbane coach Anthony Griffin says he’s confident rugby league’s latest scandal won’t affect fullback Corey Norman in Friday night’s NRL clash with Canterbury at ANZ Stadium.

Norman’s Brisbane home was where a young woman alleged she was punched in the face by South Sydney NRL player Ben Te’o last month after they’d been out drinking at a night spot.

Te’o has strongly denied the assault allegations which are being investigated by the NRL’s integrity unit.

The woman, who suffered a fractured eye socket, withdrew a complaint to police against Te’o but her story was aired on Channel Nine news on Wednesday night.

Griffin said Norman and the club could now move forward.

“The club has made a statement on its stance and our player has got no issue with the incident or with the police,” said Griffin after Norman trained on Thursday morning.

“…(Chief executive) Paul White has been in constant contact with all the relevant parties and he is dealing with that.

“We’ve made out statement and we’ll let the other investigation take its course.”

There was no suggestion of Norman facing any sanctions from the Broncos.

“Corey Norman has been cleared by police and we’ve investigated it as well,” he said.

“It’s now an issue for the NRL to deal with.”

Asked if the whole affair was another bad look for rugby league, Griffin said: “our club is not involved in that.

“The NRL will deal with that, we’ve made our statement.”

Earlier, Queensland’s record-breaking State of Origin coach Mal Meninga said Te’o would not be excluded from Maroons selection until the NRL’s investigation was finalised.

“From my perspective, he is innocent until proven guilty,” Meninga said.
