Parramatta Eels star Maika Sivo to face court in Fiji

By News / Wire

Parramatta winger Maika Sivo will appear in a Fijian court on Monday after being charged following an alleged incident at a hotel in Nadi.

The 26-year-old, in Fiji visiting family, was charged with indecent annoyance on Saturday, according to statement released by the NRL club.

“The club takes these incidents seriously and will be monitoring the situation closely.

“As with any legal matter, it is important that we follow due process, and the club will review all information available regarding the alleged incident,” the statement said.

Parramatta have informed the NRL integrity unit.

Sivo, contracted to the Eels until the end of the 2021 season, debuted in round one this season and ended up the NRL’s top try-scorer with 22.

Won't happen. No money left after bailing out Lodge & Fifita.

Picking and choosing which player they stand down under no fault thing is going to cause Toddles plenty of grief. The silly matrix thing would be even worse. Innocent players missing Grand Finals and guilty players winning them , that's going to be great.

What's happened to the mighty Matrix thingo the NRL were introducing? Sexual assault was to lead to a ban for life if I remember correctly. Not sure what happened in Fiji but it would be interesting to see whether the NRL would follow thru and ban a player for life.
