Broncos star Josiah Karapani was sanctioned by the NRL for a drink-driving offence. The Brisbane Broncos confirmed the penalty in a club announcement. The ban, handed down after sentencing, will keep Karapani out of the opening fixtures 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 conduct.
