New Sydney Roosters recruit Willie Mason has found trouble before even stepping on the field for his new club after being fined for urinating in a public place.
Mason and teammate Anthony Tupou were issued infringement notices by Port Macquarie police following an incident last Saturday night.
The Roosters were on the NSW mid north coast for a series trials against local teams, though Mason and Tupou did not take part and were only there as spectators.
The incident occurred in the hours following the match.
On top of the fine, both players will also be forced to carry out a program of community work with the PCYC.
The Roosters issued a statement claiming the players were disappointed and remorseful regarding the embarrassing situation.
The NRL club had conducted several clinics with the local community during their three-day stay in Port Macquarie.
Mason and Tupou were both named in the Roosters squad to play Wests Tigers in the second annual Foundation Cup at the Sydney Football Stadium on Saturday night.
The match will be Mason's first since his highly publicised switch from the Bulldogs.
