Parramatta forward Peni Terepo

Terepo avoids having NRL contract torn up

The Tonga international was expected to have his Eels contract torn up after his alleged verbal abuse of flight attendants on a flight from Tonga to New Zealand that resulted in police being called.

No charges were laid, however, it came two years after he was fined $15,000 for failing to alert the club about a careless driving charge in New Zealand.

The 27-year-old has been forced to undergo an alcohol management plan.

Given his two-match ban has been backdated, he will be available for selection in Friday's NRL match against the Sydney Roosters.
