Brisbane winger Josiah Karapani will miss two 2027 games after the NRL suspended him over a June drink-driving charge.
His notices covered speeding, P-plate, registration and insurance breaches; court fined him $350 and disqualified him from driving for three months.
Having served a Broncos one-game ban, he received an NRL $1,500 suspended fine and an education and training session; a March public nuisance offence was his second incident.
Parramatta recruit Spencer Leniu is likely to miss the club's first two 2027 matches, including the Las Vegas trip to face Gold Coast.
The 26-year-old, joining after Sydney Roosters' 2026 premiership, was sinbinned by Adam Gee for dissent in Samoa's 44-12 World Cup semi-final loss to Australia.
His tunnel-side money gesture was viewed as questioning officials' integrity and impartiality; on Monday, he received a grade-three contrary conduct charge.
A failed appeal would cost him another game.
Samoa lost the penalty count 9-4; "It was a real home ground advantage for Australia," Gardiner said.
