Pleads guilty of fraud

Tim Simona to plead guilty to fraud

Simona's lawyer on Tuesday indicated the 25-year-old planned to plead guilty to fraud over the sale of signed jerseys which were supposedly auctioned for the charity.

The New Zealand-born centre has been charged with dishonestly obtaining A$6600 (NZ$7100) from the auction of Tigers club jerseys, boots and training items, according to documents before Campbelltown Local Court.

Police allege there were at least 12 sales over three years with each netting A$550 (NZ$600) on average.
