The Brisbane Broncos have handed hooker James Segeyaro a one-match suspension for his drink driving offence, while he has also committed to completing a traffic offender program and 40 hours of community service.

Segeyaro was issued with a notice to appear for driving under the influence of alcohol on Monday. He recorded a breath test reading of 0.027 but was issued with a notice to appear due to the fact he is on a Provisional Licence which requires a zero alcohol reading.

Brisbane Broncos CEO Paul White said the Club recognised the vital importance of the anti-drink driving message to road safety, and had seen fit to impose a one-match NRL suspension.

Segeyaro will also be required to attend a traffic offenders course at his own expense, as well as participating in 40 hours of community service outside his mandatory Broncos club commitments.

The Broncos worked with the NRL Integrity Unit, which endorsed the Club’s handling of the issue.

Segeyaro met with Integrity Unit head Karyn Murphy in Sydney yesterday to apologise in person for his actions.
