Don’t expect any Las Vegas scandals involving Jake Trbojevic — he’s a taken man!
The Manly Sea Eagles forward is preparing to jet off for the NRL’s season opener but not before proposing to his girlfriend Alix Waddell.

Trbojevic is one of the good guys of rugby league and even fans who hate the Sea Eagles can’t help but love the good-natured, hard working star.
While not much is publicly known about how long the pair have been together, players from around the NRL quickly jumped in to wish the couple well.
Alix posted the news on Instagram, writing simply: “We’re engaged.”
Trbojevic’s former Sea Eagles teammates and Alix’s brother Corey Waddell commented: “The best! So happy for you both. Congrats!”
Aussie skipper James Tedesco wrote: “Yes trob!! Congrats @alixjwaddell_”
NSW teammate and Rabbitohs hooker Damien Cook added: “Congrats guys.”
Ex-Manly backrower Karl Lawton posted: “Congratulations guys! So bloody happy for yas!”
Aaron Woods said: “Best ever cobber congratulations legends.”
There were plenty more footy players adding their congratulations, including Dylan Walker, Clint Gutherson, Angus Crichton and Liam Knight.
The Sea Eagles are due to fly out of Las Vegas on Wednesday and are set to be the only club based in the city for their entire trip.
While Trbojevic is unlikely to get into too much trouble, there have already been plenty of warnings for teammates who want to make the most of Sin City.
Michael Malligan, the managing director of Anchor Security who has worked with the Sea Eagles for the past 10 years, said the players had been banned from dating app Tinder for the duration of their trip.
“There are a lot of dodgy people – scammers and people who will try to take advantage of them,” Malligan told the Sydney Morning Herald.
“The intel I’ve received is these people would have started their homework on the players once it was announced we were playing in Vegas. They will probably know more about some of our players than I do, and I’ve worked security at Manly for 10 years.
“They can be crafty, and will try to put our boys into vulnerable positions.”
