The NRL has fined Gold Coast Titans forward David Fifita for bringing the game into disrepute after he was arrested for trespassing in December.
Fifita was released without charge for the December 27 incident, and the NRL has completed its investigation.
The 21-year-old will be fined $20,000 with $10,000 suspended for 12 months.
He will also undergo counselling, education and training in consultation with the Titans.
The NRL announced the punishment in a press release on Wednesday afternoon.
"The Breach Notice, which Fifita has accepted, states he breached the NRL Rules when he entered the premises of a home, which he did not reside in, on December 27, 2020," the release said.
"Although it was accepted that Mr Fifita believed he had been invited to the home, his conduct in immediately entering on his own showed poor judgment and fell significantly short of his obligations as an NRL Player.
"No criminal action was taken against Fifita."
The Titans have also been punished for its role in aftermath of the incident.
"The Gold Coast Titans have been cautioned for not promptly disclosing the club’s payment for a security system which was installed in the home after the incident," the statement continued.
"Fifita is paying for the cost of the system personally, in addition to his fine.
"There are no salary cap implications relating to this matter."
Fifita was allegedly invited to the house, but reportedly entered the wrong room once arriving.
"Police were called to a Clear Island Waters residence on the Gold Coast around 8am this morning following reports of a man trespassing at the property," a police statement read at the time.
"A 20-year-old man was arrested nearby and transported to Broadbeach Police Station for questioning. He was later released from custody without charge at this stage."
It's the second time in as many years Fifita has found himself in hot water after he spent several days in a Balinese prison in 2019.
Fifita was alleged to have punched a security guard, though the case was dropped after he reached a "peace agreement" with the alleged victim.
