In an Adrian Proszenko column
Peni Terepo is likely to be spared the axe over his drunken behaviour on a flight from Tonga to New Zealand.
The Eels initially considered tearing up Terepo’s contract after he failed to inform them of this latest incident.
However, it appears a heavy fine is now most likely.
Parramatta are yet to come up with a final determination, which is expected in coming days. However, the Tongan prop could be available as soon as next weekend if he accepts the Eels’ terms.
The Tongan international knows he is on his last chance.

Good news, I thin Peni has been improving each year.
Good decision ... the chances of replacing him with someone of similiar quality and cost are slim to none.
Hes lucky to be given another chance. Lets hope he makes the most of it and gets help for his issues. Hes been improving as a player. Lets hope he improves in the other areas.
Good to hear, no probs with the clubs descision, its all in Peni's hands now, one more fuck up and hes no doubt gone.
If he doesnt cop a full drinking ban i'll be shocked, hes obviously got a problem that needs to be not swepted under the carpet again.
Yeah he definitely adds something to our team & i think he is in for a big year but he needs to give up the turps
Good decision... hit him where it hurts and maybe respect for the club and learning common sense will hit home with him. If we sacked him it would only result in some other club picking him up anyway.
