This week a Dutch court handed life sentences to two Russians and a pro-Moscow Ukrainian who were tried in absentia.

Her death is being investigated by police and has been referred to the coroner.

It’s the second major blow to the team’s roster after Justin Robinson’s season-ending injury in Round 1.

Man charged over alleged hit and run: Alex Townend, 25, is charged with driving furiously causing grievous bodily harm after he allegedly hit a man on the Princess Highway near Plunkett Street at Nowra last week. Police allege Mr Townend failed to stop and render assistance to the 23-year-old, who was treated by paramedics for leg, hip and head injuries. In court this week the accused did not apply for bail and it was formally refused. He’s due to face court again later this month.Visit our website for more local news
