EMERGING Rabbitohs star Junior Vaivai has been stood down following a conviction for assaulting his girlfriend.

The 21-year-old centre, who made his NRL debut in 2009 but plays mainly in the second tier Toyota Cup, today pleaded guilty in Wollongong Local Court to assaulting his girlfriend Renee Laidlaw.

The court was told Ms Laidlaw didn't immediately report the assault to police out of concern for the effect a charge may have on her former partner's career.

Vaivai was convicted of the offence by Magistrate Les Mabbutt and given a two-year good behaviour bond and a $2500 fine.

A Rabbitohs spokesman said Vaivai had been "stood down" once the club were informed of the charge and they were now assessing his future.

"We are considering our position," he said.

Vaivai recently signed with the Parramatta Eels for next season, where he was to join the Rabbitohs halfback Chris Sandow.

The conviction is the latest drama involving rugby league players, with Roosters forward Anthony Watts facing an assault charge as well.

Do they not know that Carney has an "a" in it as well as VaiVai ?
Why hasn't he been held accountable.

as an aside Watts and alleged sparing partner were seen jogging together in Clovelly this afternoon.
It honestly didn't look like she was running away from him ..

Watts wasn't the bloke who molested that jogger in Bronte?
