Good start to the season…..
A rising star of the NRLW is facing assault charges after allegedly bashing a teenage girl following a dispute over a food delivery.
Police allege a 20-year-old woman, who has been identified as Parramatta Eels player Kate Fallon, assaulted a teenager living in a neighbouring unit at their Chifley apartment complex.
Police will allege the assault followed a dispute over a food delivery order on July 17.
Fallon was taken to Maroubra police station and charged with assault occasioning bodily harm.
A photo provided to radio station 2GB showed the girl’s injuries. Her father claimed she was left with a large gash and was bleeding profusely from her head. He alleges his daughter was hit with an object.
The father said his daughter had ordered an Uber Eats delivery of approximately $70 and went to knock on neighbours’ doors to try to find her order when the altercation erupted.
“My daughter is a pretty tough cookie but to go through this with no explanation … she said it all happened so quick,” the father said.
In a statement to this masthead, the Parramatta Eels said they were “aware of an incident involving a player from our NRLW team”.
“The club advised the NRL integrity unit as per our normal process. As it is a police matter, the club will not be making further comment at this time.”
Fallon was named on Tuesday as a reserve for the Eels side taking on the Brisbane Broncos in an opening round clash this Saturday.
NSW Police and the NRL were contacted for comment.
Fallon was granted conditional bail and will appear in court next month.
