The WA Rugby League faces a big clean-up bill, with a change room carpet having to be ripped up and replaced after it was urinated on during Saturday's National Rugby League trial at nib Stadium.
The WARL, who hired the stadium, has demanded a report from stadium operator Allia and the security staff into the incident.
Allia were forced to remove the carpet yesterday to get rid of a "putrid, rancid" smell in time for tonight's Super Rugby pre-season trial between the Western Force and the reigning champions Queensland Reds.
The Force, who trained at the ground on Tuesday, were unable to use the change room because of the overpowering smell.
One Force member who was at the ground described the smell as "putrid, rancid. Like 100 cats had been locked up in there all weekend".
Allia had the carpets cleaned and deodorised but the smell remained and yesterday they were pulled up. WARL chief executive John Sackson said his organisation would fight the bill, expected to be several thousand dollars.
"What has happened is disgraceful and we face substantial cost and inconvenience over this," Mr Sackson said.
"We hired the venue but whether we are ultimately responsible for what happened is another matter.
"It is important to know who had access to that area.
"We realise it is going to be very hard to pin down who the culprit was as there were probably 100 people who had access to the area but we want to sort this out."
The change room was used by the St George Illawarra Dragons for the trial against the North Queensland Cowboys but they have adamantly denied any knowledge or involvement.
"Having been informally informed by the WA Rugby League of the problems with nib Stadium the Dragons categorically refute any such allegations," St George Illawarra Dragons chief executive Peter Doust said. "Any persons or organisation making unfounded allegations against our brand should think very carefully before doing so.
"Our club and brand have high values and expectations and the club is prepared to provide statutory declarations from those in the dressing room throughout our occupation, including the female staff members."
An Allia spokesman would not comment.

Good old Mungos!
“Everyone knows whether it’s rugby, politics or whatever, front-rowers should rule the world, so to have a hooker at the helm makes sense,” Nathan Charles Western Force & Wallabies Hooker.
Was chatting to the boys post training last night and they all say that is was unbearable. The smell, even after the carpets have been pulled up was making people gag. And we want a NRL side here?? It was St Georges changing room and if they were responsible for letting in a bunch of idiots who thought that this was funny then they should be held responsible. Threats from their CEO make me think that he protests too much.....
Bloody animals

"Drunk corporate guests who had access to the change rooms at nib Stadium could be responsible for the urination incident which led to the carpets being ripped up, WA Rugby League chief executive John Sackson said today.
The carpet in the room used by the Illawarra Dragons was allegedly urinated on last Saturday and had to be replaced before a Super Rugby trial tonight between the Western Force and the Queensland Reds.
The WARL faces paying the $2000 bill as it hired the stadium, but Mr Sackson said it was impossible to pinpoint who was responsible, and said more than 100 people had been in the change rooms during the night."
Danged corporates.

Nice standard of "corporate guests THEY invite if that's the case ....
I wonder if the corporate guests appreciate being accused of this, and how it will impact on their loyalty and generosity.
Seriously this has to be a send up. No CEO would be stupid enough to make such a comment, would he/she?
