Episode Details

Brisbane Broncos star Josiah Karapani faced court after pleading guilty to drink driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.037 — over the legal limit for provisional drivers. Caught at 7 AM on the Pacific Motorway, he also received fines for speeding, driving an unregistered and uninsured car, and failing to display his P-plates, totaling $350 and a three-month license suspension. The 24-year-old, who recently scored a crucial late try to keep the Broncos’ title hopes alive, admitted to miscalculating when it was safe to drive. This marks his second off-field incident this season, following a March public nuisance stand-down. His lawyer warned of reputational damage and possible NRL Integrity Unit action, while the magistrate, acknowledging his remorse, avoided a conviction but issued a stern warning. Karapani, a key player with 37 NRL games and 17 tries since his debut, remains part of the New Zealand national squad for the upcoming Rugby League World Cup.
