Corey Harawira-Naera tried to save a few dollars on an Uber by getting behind the wheel after up to 17 drinks, in a drunken Christmas Day decision that continues to prove costly. The Canberra Raiders forward was convicted, fined $250 and disqualified from driving for three months when he pleaded guilty in the ACT Magistrates Court on Thursday to a drink-driving charge. He had already been banished from first grade by his club and suspended by the NRL from the first two games of this season, while the league also fined the New Zealand Test representative $10,000 earlier this month. Court documents reveal that Harawira-Naera attended the same drinking session that led to teammate Corey Horsburgh being busted for drink-driving. The former Panthers and Bulldogs player celebrated Christmas Eve with Horsburgh and others at Assembly in Braddon before moving on to Fiction nightclub in Civic.
