Dragons' Naiqama to face court
12 September 2005
St George Illawarra has disciplined flyer Wes Naiqama after he was pulled over on Sunday by police for driving without a licence.
Naiqama, 22, was disqualified from driving for a similar offence in 2002 and has already been participating in community service.
The club said he would appear in court in October.
"The club is very disappointed that Wes has made such a poor decision with respect to the law," said Dragons chief executive Peter Doust in a statement.
"We had previously spoken with Wes about the seriousness of this situation and his obligations."
The club offered professional counselling for the winger and demanded that he undertake additional community-based educational activities.
"It was an irresponsible decision to make and I am very sorry for what I did," said Naiqama
"I should have listened to the advice given to me from my family, friends and the club and I will now ensure that I am better organised and responsible as I will not be driving a car in the foreseeable future."
The club decided not to fine the speedster as it felt education was more appropriate in this instance.

Not only does Wes have to put up with the embarressment of that, I'm sure he'll get some stick for driving around Kings Cross.
The Dragons are starting to become the Bulldogs of last year. The Bulldogs overcame their off-field discretions to become the premiers of last year. Rather scary for a Cowboys supporter.
