Biography

Playing career

Pomeroy made his first grade debut with the Panthers in Round 21, 2004. After only sporadic appearances in first grade for the Panthers, Pomeroy signed with the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in 2006. A serious groin injury that year limited his appearances on the field for Cronulla to eight games. In 2007, he became a regular at centre in the run-on side and scored his first hat-trick of tries in Round 6.[2] After a 1-9 start to the 2009 season, Cronulla Sharks coach Ricky Stuart axed Pomeroy, dropping him to the NSW Cup.[3]

Representative career

Pomeroy was selected on the bench for City Origin in 2007 and was also named in the City side in 2008. Later this same year, his successful season was rewarded with selection in the Prime Minister's XIII side to play the Papua New Guinea Kumuls.[4]

Assault charge

Pomeroy was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm after allegedly punching a fellow concert-goer in the face during a performance by American rock band Korn at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on 20 April 2008. The charges were later dismissed due to a lack of evidence.[5]
