New Zealand Warriors hooker Lance Hohaia has been fined and suspended following an incident in Auckland overnight.
Warriors Chief Executive Mick Watson confirmed that police arrested Hohaia and charged him with disorderly behaviour outside an inner-city club.
"The players were unanimous in their desire to set and maintain the highest standards but early this morning Lance let his team-mates down," Watson said.
The 22-year-old was out with friends following the side's 21-4 win over Wests Tigers at Ericsson Stadium.
Hohaia will be fined $5000 NZD ($4700 AUD) and coach Tony Kemp has dropped him for next Saturday night's match against the St George Illawarra Dragons.
He is due to appear in the Auckland District Court on Thursday.
"I'm sorry that I've let everyone down ? the management, coaches, players and fans," Hohaia said.
