The woman who says she was sexually assaulted by Jack De Belin and Callan Sinclair told her manager the next day she had been raped, a jury has been told.
Normally a bubbly woman, she arrived at work looking sad and glassy-eyed before telling her manager 'I got raped last night' and naming the NRL star and his friend, New South Wales District Court heard on Thursday.
The footballer, 30, and Sinclair, 23, have pleaded not guilty to the aggravated sexual assault of the then 19-year-old in a North Wollongong unit after meeting her on a bar dancefloor on December 8, 2018.
'She wasn't herself, she was quite blank, sad, glassy-eyes, she seemed pre-occupied,' the manager said giving evidence in the NSW District Court on Thursday.

'She's normally quite bubbly, fun-loving, usually smiley... but she was not that person, just blank and she wasn't really talkative,' the manager said in court.
The woman says the alleged victim told her: 'I got raped last night', telling her the men were De Belin and Sinclair.
She detailed her evening, the court heard, saying the three of them decided to go to another club, before the two men discussed going to an apartment to charge their phones.
The woman said when they arrived she told them she needed to go to the bathroom and they had 'to chuck her over the fence' to get to the residence, the manager claimed.
After she went to the ensuite toilet and went to leave the bedroom, 'one of the guys had undone her top' and 'she was trying to cover her boobs with her hands because she didn't want anyone to see her', the court heard.
Her shorts and underpants were also removed before they started having sex, the manager told the court, recalling what the woman allegedly told her.
'She told me she had tears in her eyes and was crying,' the witness told the jury.

The woman told her she repeatedly said 'no, no, stop' and that 'she didn't want them to look at her', the manager told the court.
The woman said afterwards De Belin asked her 'why she was being so emotional' and she said 'because I didn't want to do that', the court heard.
The footballer then allegedly said he forgot the woman was so small and asked 'wasn't it good for you?'.
The manager said the woman told her she felt 'disgusting and gross after that' and just wanted to have a shower.
'Someone offered her $50 for her to keep her mouth shut and for a Uber,' the witness told the court that she was told.
The trial is continuing.
