COURT NEWS A WOMAN already warned several times by police for breaching Covid-19 lockdown conditions, was charged with obstruction under the Health Act after further flouting the rules. This time she was discovered in the early hours of April 24, driving in town for non-essential purposes with friends from outside her bubble. Lyndsey Henerita Hawea, 30, pleaded guilty in Gisborne District Court to obstruction under the Health Act. Police spotted Hawea driving on Lowe Street about 10 kilometres from her lockdown address with two passengers, who she claimed to be giving rides home. None of the three were in the same bubble, the court was told. Hawea gave an excuse that involved looking for a petrol station but police noted she had already passed several before being stopped.

NRL round-up RUGBY LEAGUE by Scott Bailey and Matt Encarnacion, AAP SYDNEY — Melbourne and Parramatta are anxiously awaiting scan results on key playmakers Cameron Munster and Mitchell Moses respectively after a horror weekend of injuries across the NRL. The Storm will be waiting on the outcome for star No.6 Munster who has so far been unable to have his injured knee assessed fully due to Melbourne’s travel. Moses had scans yesterday morning on his calf, the halfback having left Bankwest Stadium on Saturday on crutches during the ladder leaders’ golden-point win against Canberra. Medical staff won’t be able to determine what rehabilitation is needed until swelling subsides on the same muscle Moses hurt during the game’s shutdown. Initial fears for Munster are that he’ll be out of action for up to six weeks with the injury, picked up in the Storm’s drubbing of the Warriors. They must find a new half to partner Jahrome Hughes for at least the short term, with hooker Cameron Smith a possible surprise option. Munster has been the Storm’s best player this year, setting up five tries and busting 15 tackles in the five games since the competition’s restart. The 25-year-old said he had been one of the real beneficiaries of having to live in the NRL’s bubble. “I guess no pubs or alcohol or partying with teammates or stuff like that,” Munster said. “I haven’t had a beer in probably six or seven weeks.
