He admitted to police he had been drinking before he got behind the wheel and blew a reading of 0.098. Fined $500 and disqualified from driving for 3 months [B]This is what his lawyer said at sentancing:[/B] “When I report back to the NRL integrity unit today if there is no conviction recorded it will look better on Mr Rapana,” he said. they apparently also tried to play the Canada card saying Rapana "had ideas" of playing Super League in Canada and a conviction might stop him being permitted entry into the country [B]This is what the judge said at sentancing:[/B] “I see that because you are involved in the profession rugby league team I accept that they will punish you for this because … you are seen as a representative of the club and the sport in general and they clamp down on anyone that misbehaves in public,” he said.
