Brisbane Broncos confirm Segeyaro drink-driving incident

Sports

Brisbane have confirmed new recruit James Segeyaro has been caught drink driving.
The Papua New Guinea international — who only signed with the NRL club earlier this month — blew a blood alcohol level under 0.05 when pulled over by police yesterday morning.
However, he is driving with P-plates and can’t record an alcohol level above zero.
It is believed the livewire hooker was pulled over while driving to buy a coffee after drinking on Sunday night.
Segeyaro — a veteran of 143 NRL games — is in hot water after playing just two matches for Brisbane since being released by Cronulla due to salary cap issues.
“The Brisbane Broncos can confirm that James Segeyaro has been issued with a notice to appear for driving under the influence of alcohol,” a Brisbane statement said yesterday.
“Segeyaro recorded a breath test reading well under 0.05 in Brisbane this morning but due to the face that he is on a provisional licence he has been issued with a notice to appear.
“The NRL integrity unit has been informed and the club is working through the issue in conjunction with them.”– APP
