'He's been set up': Manager addresses Bryan Fletcher 'white powder' video

Former NRL player Bryan Fletcher has found himself at the centre of a controversial ‘white powder’ video, but his manager claims he was set up.

The video was circulated on social media on Monday night, and shows Fletcher in a car with an unknown man who is holding a small bag of white powder.

“Look who I’m selling bags to”, the man says, before Fletcher replies: “Don’t say that.”

“I’m just hanging out,” Fletcher says. “I don’t know who this cab driver is. I’m in an Uber.”

Fletcher’s manager has since refuted the claims in the video, saying his client is considering reporting the matter to police.

“He has done nothing wrong and told me he was in a taxi heading home with his wife after a night out having dinner,” Steve Gillis told The Daily Telegraph.

“The driver asked him for a quick Snapchat video – he’s been set up.

“Fletch told me that he’s never met the bloke, he just jumped in the back of his cab and the driver pulled this stunt – he’s clearly been set up.

“We’ve discussed reporting this matter to the police but we’re not sure where we can take it.

“The taxi driver has given zero thought to the consequences of his actions which is disappointing.”

Fletcher played 180 NRL grade games with the Sydney Roosters and South Sydney Rabbitohs, winning a premiership with the Roosters in 2002.

He played 14 State of Origin games for NSW and represented Australia 13 times, before moving into TV after his retirement in 2007.
