The Newcastle Knights' horror week is continuing, after a magistrate granted an A.V.O against prop, Zane Tetevano yesterday.
The order comes after police were called to a Merewether home just before Christmas, where his girlfriend is believed to have told friends the star prop assaulted her the previous night.
But Knights officials say Tetevano and his partner have confirmed they intend to clarify the matter, and have the order annulled in court next week.
At this stage, the A.V.O is expected to be in-place for one year.
It caps off a week the team would rather forget, with revelations gaoled prop Russell Packer faces the prospect of deportation, if he fails to have his 2 year sentence for assault reduced to under a year.
