In a surprising turn of events, Luciano Leilua, the St George Illawarra Dragons player, has found himself on the receiving end of a breach notice from the NRL.
Reports suggest that Leilua has been fined and is facing a two-match suspension for failing to inform his former club or the league about a low-range drink-driving offense.
It seems that Leilua's indiscretion went completely unnoticed until the Townsville Bulletin contacted the North Queensland Cowboys, revealing his appearance in court.
It turns out that Leilua had neglected to notify anyone about the incident, violating the NRL's strict rules on player communication regarding off-field incidents.
The NRL wasted no time in taking action, issuing the breach notice just one day after the news broke.
This serves as a stark reminder to all players about the importance of adhering to the league's Code of Conduct.
Leilua, now faced with the consequences of his actions, will have to reflect on this incident and learn from his mistake.
