Corey Harawira-Naera height - How tall is Corey Harawira-Naera?

On 10 March 2020, Harawira-Naera and teammate Jayden Okunbor were stood down by Canterbury two days before the start of the 2020 NRL season after it was alleged that while on a pre-season trip to Port Macquarie earlier in March they brought two teenage schoolgirls to the team hotel where sexual activity may have taken place. Okunbor is alleged to have met the girl during a visit to a local school, while Harawira-Naera met one of the girls independent to that visit. Both players were asked to “show cause” why the NRL should not cancel or suspend their registrations as players.

On 11 March 2020, it was announced that because of the two players actions, new major sponsor Rashays had cancelled their $2 million sponsorship with the club. Rashays had signed on to become Canterbury's front of shirt sponsor. Rashays owner Rami Ykmour released a statement saying "It’s a shame two players could wreck it for everyone, It’s disgusting. It's repulsive, to be honest. That’s something else. If they sack them, I would stand by the club and the NRL’s decision".

On 1 April 2020, Harawira-Naera had his contract terminated by Canterbury-Bankstown and was also deregistered by the NRL. Canterbury released a statement saying “The NRL have today deregistered both Jayden Okunbor and Corey Harawira-Naera with immediate effect and as a result their playing contracts with the Bulldogs have been cancelled, The conduct of the two players, on the eve of our final trial match, demonstrated an unacceptable lack of respect for their teammates, their coach and club officials, our hosts in Port Macquarie and fans of the game everywhere".

On 15 February 2019, Harawira-Naera represented the Māori All Stars against the Indigenous All Stars in the 2019 All Stars match, playing off the interchange bench in the 34-14 loss at AAMI Park. In Round 1 of the 2019 NRL season, Harawira-Naera made his club debut for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs against the New Zealand Warriors, playing off the interchange bench in the 40–6 loss at Mt Smart Stadium. In Round 7 against the North Queensland Cowboys, Harawira-Naera starred for the Bulldogs in a Man of the Match performance, scoring his first and second club tries in the second half and pulled off a try saving tackle on Cowboys forward Gavin Cooper in the 24–12 win at ANZ Stadium.

In Round 6 against Gold Coast Titans, Harawira-Naera shifted from second-row to the centres to cover the injured Waqa Blake, scoring 2 tries in the Panthers 35–12 win at Penrith Stadium. On 3 September 2018, the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs announced the signing of Harawira-Naera on a four-year deal. Bulldogs CEO Andrew Hill said: "Signing someone of Corey’s calibre and potential is a great coup for the Bulldogs and comes on the back of a strong finish to our 2018 season", "Dean Pay and his coaching staff have helped develop some talented young players this year and the addition of Corey to the squad will add both quality and strength to our forward pack for next season and beyond". During the Panthers presentation night, chairman Phil Gould said he personally recruited Harawira-Naera from New Zealand, as he fought back tears as he spoke about the hard-hitting forward. "We got a tip on a couple of young players - James Fisher-Harris and Corey Harawira-Naera," Gould said. "These were two boys who were young and very raw and came over here with nothing more than a dream. "I think their first accommodation was out on top of the horse stalls at Fernhill Equestrian Centre. They lived with the horses and worked on the property. They got up early every morning and went to work and we could see their character straight away." "Those two players mean a lot to me, they'll always be Panthers and they'll always be welcome at this club and I'm only bouyed by the fact that they've both got great deals and can set their families up for life with the deals that they have. Harawira-Naera finished his last year with the Penrith Panthers with him playing in 24 matches and scoring 6 tries in the 2018 NRL season. On 1 October 2018, Harawira-Naera was named in the New Zealand Kiwis 24-man squad for their tour of England and their test match against Australia. A few days later on 4 October 2018, Harawira-Naera withdrew from the Kiwis squad from a groin injury.

In February 2017, Harawira-Naera was selected in the Panthers' 2017 Auckland Nines squad that went on to be runners-up. On 24 March, he made his NRL debut for the Panthers in round 4 of the 2017 NRL season against the Newcastle Knights, scoring a try in the Panthers' 40–0 win. On 27 June, he extended his contract with the Panthers to the end of the 2020 season. Harawira-Naera would show good form during the season and became a mainstay in the top 17 with coach Anthony Griffin opting to start him at second-row in most matches over Bryce Cartwright and James Fisher-Harris. Harawira-Naera finished his debut year in the NRL having played in 22 matches and scoring 7 tries for the Panthers during the season.

In 2014 and 2015, Harawira-Naera played for the Penrith Panthers in the National Youth Competition, before graduating to their Intrust Super Premiership NSW team in 2016. In February 2016, he was named in the Panthers' 2016 NRL Auckland Nines squad.
