Controversy

In September 2021, Robati was arrested by police after a dangerous driving incident.

Robati later received a $1,000 fine with no conviction recorded, and a six-month disqualification from driving. [14] On 30 December 2022, it was announced that Robati had been stood down from all club activities, following an alleged incident involving a woman at a Brisbane venue.

[15] On 2 February 2023, it was revealed that Robati had been charged by Queensland Police for allegedly driving without a licence around 3.50pm on Australia Day.
