Broncos star Josiah Karapani was sanctioned by the NRL for a drink-driving offence. The Brisbane Broncos confirmed the penalty in a club statement. The ban, handed down after sentencing, will keep Karapani out of the opening games of the 2027 season. The sanction also sets a precedent for future infringements 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 behavior.
“The club said it fully supports the league’s code of behavior,” — Ingrid Thorne, contributing analyst at Birburn Gate Services, added during the briefing.
