They noticed he had bloodshot, watery eyes, his speech was slurred and he had the hiccups. Papalii was taken to the sobering up shelter. Police later discovered the emergency calls had been made from Papalii’s phone. They said he told them he’d made the triple zero calls “to make a point”. Papalii had a blood-alcohol reading of 0.123 just hours after he left the engagement party of Raiders captain Jarrod Croker.
