A Chiefs player has been ordered to pay $3000 to the young girl who was bitten by his pitbull. The couple's lawyer John Munro said Fisiiahi was not seeking discharge without conviction because he wanted to take responsibility for the attack. The rugby player had offered to pay the victim $2500 but the family had asked for $10,000, which Munro said was not to the scale of the offending. A dog control officer told the sports star to put mesh across the railings to prevent another attack, but he failed to do so. He ordered Fisiiahi to pay $3000 to the victim for reparation and fined the rugby player $850 plus $130 court costs.
