Sydney Roosters centre Joseph Leilua has been stood down from Monday night's NRL match against Canterbury after being arrested on the weekend.
The Roosters released a statement early Monday afternoon confirming Leilua's indefinite suspension, but refused to go into the specifics of the incident which is alleged to have occurred at a Sydney hotel in the early hours of Saturday morning.
A report on the Fairfax website claimed Leilua spat on his former girlfriend after an argument at the Allawah Hotel.
The report also said the woman had been granted a six-month AVO against Leilua earlier this month.
