SYDNEY players in the men's and women's programs trained at the SCG on Wednesday after the club handed down season-ending suspensions to five male players.

Riley Bice, Nick Blakey, Isaac Heeney, James Jordon and Chad Warner have been banned for the rest of the season for their involvement in a alleged incident in Melbourne early on Monday morning, which is now the subject of a police investigation.
