Neale: Comments between Brisbane player, Tess Crosley on old post raises eyebrows in light of scandal"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">An exchange of comments between Lachie Neale and Tess Crosley on an old social media post has raised eyebrows in light of the Brisbane player\u2019s marriage breakdown.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Tess shared a carousel of photos in which herself, Jules, Lachie and another friend are pictured together during an outing to a Queensland winery and a Harry Potter light trail in Brisbane.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">It was the caption and following comment that have now left followers gasping after weeks of the public scandal unfolding, resulting in Lachie stepping down as Lion\u2019s captain and confirming his separation from Jules after seven years of marriage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cI solemnly swear I\u2019m up to no good,\u201d Tess captioned the post from August 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cPassword: Dumbledore,\u201d Lachie replied in the comments section to which Tess responded with a laughing emoji.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">One Instagram user pointed out the awkward timing with a sarcastic comment. \u201cThis aged well. \ud83d\udc40\ud83e\udd5b,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Tess, who is reportedly at the centre of Lachie and Jules\u2019 separation, has continued to make headlines throughout the saga.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Police on Saturday confirmed officers conducted a welfare check and seized a number of items from Tess and husband Ben Crosley\u2019s home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cPolice attended an Arrol Street Camp Hill address on 30 December and took possession of a number of items following a welfare check,\u201d Queensland Police told <a class=\"css-445i33-StyledTextLink ezegcyi0\" data-link-type=\"article-inline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"

class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cThere is no criminal matter being investigated as such no further information will be provided at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Photos taken at the time of the welfare check showed Tess peering out of an upstairs window from behind a curtain as Ben answered the door shirtless in white shorts to two police officers on the doorstep.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Another photo showed a police officer carrying a rectangular black case and fabric bags to and from the couple\u2019s property.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">It is not yet known what items were seized from the home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">PerthNow does not suggest any wrongdoing, or even a suspicion of wrongdoing, by Tess or Ben Crosley, only the fact of the police welfare check having been conducted at their home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An exchange of comments between Lachie Neale and Tess Crosley on an old social media post has
