Canberra Raiders player's wife facing ban after altercation at rugby league game. Show-cause notice issued.
The wife of a Canberra Raiders player is facing the possibility of a significant ban from attending all levels of Canberra rugby league competitions following allegations she was the spectator involved in a physical altercation with a female player.
It is understood Raiders prop Josh Papali'i's wife, Sepa, is the spectator who allegedly confronted a player on the sideline of a Katrina Fanning Shield game, sparking a brawl between teams before the game was abandoned two weeks ago.
She has been issued with a show-cause notice and has until Friday to either accept the punishment imposed by the Canberra Region Rugby League or appeal the decision.
