Source: www.titans.com.auJetstar Gold Coast Titans prop Matt White was this morning charged with a high range drink driving offence.
The Jetstar Titans consider this a very serious issue and, after consultation with club management and the senior playing group, has decided the following penalties will be imposed against the 26-year-old.
* A fine of $25,000, based on the high range of the offence. This fine will be donated to the Titans 4 Tomorrow community educational programs and Titans Community Foundation;
* Ordered to undergo a driving and alcohol education course;
* Ordered to undertake 100 community hours working with driver education and children in juvenile detention.
White said he was embarrassed by his actions and acknowledged that he had let down the club, its fans, and sponsors.
"I am personally embarrassed by my actions and accept full accountability for them,'' said White.
"I acknowledge that my actions go against the players' strong code of conduct and the club's policies in this area.
"I will do everything in my power to regain the trust of my teammates, the club and our fans and sponsors."
Jetstar Titans Managing Director Michael Searle said White was aware of his off-field responsibilities and how his actions have breached the club's strict attitudes towards player behaviour.
"Matt is aware of his responsibilities and has acknowledged that he has put himself in this situation,'' said Searle.
"Since joining the club in 2009, Matt has been a valued member of the team on and off the field and we hope that this is purely an isolated incident that he can learn from.
"The club will work with Matt to ensure he undertakes further education in relation to alcohol and driving.''
The Jetstar Titans will make no further comment on the issue as the matter is now before the courts and it would be inappropriate to do so.

Source: www.titans.com.auThey are intimidating on the field but Jetstar Gold Coast Titans duo Sam Tagataese and Matt White today proved they were gentle giants off it.
White, a 114kg prop, and Tagataese, a 103kg second rower, today paid a special visit to the Titans Learning Centre (TLC) at Mudgeeraba Creek State School.
The pair generously gave up time on their only day off in the lead-up to Friday night's elimination semi-final against Parramatta at the Sydney Football Stadium to spend time reading and interacting with the students currently attending the TLC.
The TLC is designed for students who are at risk of disengaging from school and provides a social skilling based program that looks at raising resilience in self esteem.
The TLC classroom has also been themed in a sea of blue and gold balloons and streamers as part of the club's Titans Town promotion.
"It's always good to help out the kids,'' said White.
"We saw lots of support last weekend with the massive crowd at the Broncos game and everyone's been behind us with Titans Town so it's good to give back to the community.''
Community visits are not a new thing for Tagataese, who has volunteered his own time this year to regularly assist with the running of a program for Polynesian youths at the Tweed Heads PCYC.
"It's good. Hopefully they look up to us and we inspire them to do things and make them realise they've got goals that they can achieve,'' he said.
Tagataese said he was hoping to make the most of his own opportunity this weekend when he takes the field in only his second ever finals appearance.
"It's a good opportunity. I was down in Melbourne for three years but didn't get a chance to play finals football so now I've got a chance, hopefully I can use it.''
White said the enormity of Friday night's match against the Eels had not been lost on the players.
"It's a big opportunity. We're only really two games off a grand final.''
The Titans will leave for Sydney tomorrow, with fans expected to turn out to at Gold Coast Airport to see them off ahead of the biggest match in the club's history.
