C'bury player stood down for drink-driving

Promising rugby league player Herman Ese'ese has been stood down until further notice by Canterbury as he faces a mid-range drink-driving charge.

Canterbury rookie Herman Ese'ese has been stood down until further notice by the NRL club after being charged with mid-range drink driving.

The promising player failed to show up to court earlier this month, after the 20-year-old was charged with mid-range drink-driving in February.

Ese'ese made his NRL debut last weekend against Manly.

He eventually appeared on Thursday in Burwood Local Court where he was fined $1000 and also suspended from driving for nine months.

After standing Ese'ese down, the Bulldogs released a statement, saying they were working with the NRL integrity unit in relation to the matter.

The club said it would offer further comment once all investigations were complete.
