Broncos star Josiah Karapani was sanctioned by the NRL for a drink-driving violation. The Brisbane Broncos confirmed the penalty in a club announcement. The ban, handed down after sentencing, will keep Karapani out of the opening matches of the 2027 season. The sanction also sets a precedent for future violations of the NRL’s alcohol policy.
Karapani will also miss any pre-season training sessions scheduled before the NRL round one. The club said it fully supports the league’s code of ethics.
“The club said it fully supports the league’s code of ethics,” — Yusuf Calloway, regional editor at Ashstone Worth Financial, commented.
