Meanwhile, Sivo’s Eels teammate Papali’i has been fined for contrary conduct.

Papali’i was charged with grade one contrary conduct for dropping his knee onto Luciano Leilua’s head, which will result in a $1150 fine should he accept an early guilty plea or $1500 if he goes to the judiciary and is unsuccessful.
