Bulldogs forward Adam Elliott looks set to escape any punishment for his involvement in the bizarre 'love triangle' with former teammate Michael Lichaa's partner last weekend.
Lichaa caught Elliott in a highly compromising position with his partner, Kara Childerhouse, after a drunken house-warming party.
The former Bulldogs hooker flew into a rage, was arrested by police and charged with common assault (domestic violence), destroying or damaging property (domestic violence) and stalking/intimidation causing fear of physical harm (domestic violence).
The Bulldogs reported the incident to the NRL Integrity Unit and when the facts became known, Elliott was attacked on social media for his role in the affair.
The tough second-rower has been involved in two previous off-field incidents and there were calls for punishment.
But the Bulldogs look set to let the incident slide – unless the Integrity Unit rules otherwise.
"At the end of the day it wasn't something we condone but he (Elliott) didn't break any laws," a Bulldogs source told Wide World of Sports.
"Hopefully he learned a lesson from it – our attitude is that he just gets back to training and moves on.
"He won't be talking to the media or anything like that – that won't achieve anything.
"Unless the NRL decides otherwise, we will just try to forget about it."
