Hes a quality player and more importantly, a quality person. Im sure hell get back there.St George Illawarra said the NRL integrity unit had been advised of the incident and counselling was being offered to both Lafai and Havili.The St George Illawarra Dragons have determined to stand down contracted players, Siliva Havili and Tim Lafai, effective immediately and until further notice, from all club activities, for breaching the clubs code of conduct, the Dragons said on Tuesday in a statement.The club has been advised that both Havili and Lafai have been charged with affray and offensive behaviour by police, following an incident which occurred in Wollongong on Sunday morning.
