The Brisbane Broncos confirm that Josiah Karapani has received a Queensland Police Service infringement notice for the offence of ‘Public Nuisance’ and a banning notice after police spoke to him in Ann St, Fortitude Valley around 3.30am this morning.

The NRL Integrity Unit has been informed

Just what we need after another win.
Sure not the biggest deal, but just keeps the media cycle rolling. You can expect he will be sat out for round 5.
