Ex-NRL star sentenced for rampage

Former NRL star Carl Webb will have to undergo a mental health assessment after a drunken rampage in Cairns earlier this year.

The 34-year-old was sentenced to 18 months probation at Cairns Magistrates Court on Monday after appearing on a string of charges resulting from the March incident.

Webb was charged with threatening violence, wilful damage and three counts of entering a dwelling with intent.

The ex-State of Origin player and Australian Test front-rower is alleged to have threatened neighbours and jumped on the bonnet of a car during the incident near his Cairns home in the early hours of a Saturday morning.

A former Brisbane and North Queensland forward who retired in 2011 after a disappointing season with Parramatta, Webb has been ordered to submit to medical, psychological and psychiatric assessment and treatment as directed.

Webb has also been ordered to pay two separate compensation amounts totalling $2137 for the damages caused.
