Greater Western Sydney Giants skipper Toby Greene has revealed the downright stomach-turning habit that his teammate Tom Green has when he's staying in a hotel room.
Green, who is often away from home travelling with his team, has devised an unconventional laundry hack that his captain has described as 'disgraceful'.
'This is not right in my books,' smiled Green while appearing on the TFG Tuesdays podcast.
'Tom Green reckons that sometimes when he's traveling, especially overseas, if he can't get to a laundromat or something, he will chuck his undies in a kettle and boil the kettle to clean his underwear in the hotel room.
'Disgraceful. And he reckons that it's a thing.
'I drink cups of tea every night at the hotels. I was disgusted.'
Green says he couldn't believe what he was hearing and he was hoping that listeners to the show could provide their thoughts on the matter.
Footy fans on social media were quick to agree with Greene's take about his teammate's laundry hack, with some vowing to never drink tea in a hotel room again.
Several others piped up to say that they had heard of the practice.
Meanwhile, GWS veteran Stephen Coniglio has revealed a nerve issue has been the cause of his indefinite stint on the sidelines.
A glute issue originally thought to put Coniglio out for just one week has kept the star onballer missing from action since round three.
It is a frustrating setback for the 31-year-old, who had been rediscovering his form after facial surgery and a shoulder reconstruction in the off-season.
'It was our West Coast game (in round four) and I just woke up like any other morning, just preparing to come to captain's run, and I just couldn't walk,' Coniglio said on Monday.
'I felt this pain shooting down my leg ... I just pulled out of that game, disappointing, just thinking a couple of days it'll settle.
'As it's gone on, it's moved from my glute down my hamstring.
'It's been a bit of trial and error, but it's a nerve issue that's bothering me.
'I tried a couple of injections that, again, hadn't seemed to work initially. We're trying a few other things at the moment.'
Coniglio's return has been pushed back to their round-14 fixture against Brisbane, but he admits the timeline isn't certain.
The time away from the game has at least given Coniglio more confidence in his shoulder and face, the inaugural Giant insisting he still has more to give.
'I'm over 30 now, so everyone's pointing to maybe it could be that, but I'm feeling 24, 25 again after having not played a lot for the last year,' he said.
'Last year, dealing with the two operations gave me some really good mental perspective on how lucky I am and how grateful I am to play this game.
'I'm very confident in my own ability and that I'll be back playing my best very soon. I love the game so much.'
