Club Statement: Spencer Leniu - Leniu enters Guilty Plea

[QWERTY]

Leniu likely won't be playing for a while.
He could've been injured instead and be unabled to play.
So we select a replacement, train, prepare, and travel to play Manly on their home ground.
Hard to beat them there, even with Leniu in the team.

Same deal as Vegas...we'll have to play our very best footy to win.
Manly scored a lot of points against Souths.
To win we must stop that from happening.

Manly also let in a lot of points. If we play like we did against the Broncos, we should win

[Jacks Fur Coat]

what I am saying is that Pearce got 8 games for a stupid drunken simulation of a sex act. He didn’t do anything wrong other than be a pissed fool. Do you think that deserves 8 games.

It deserved...nothing. He was in a private home doing nothing illegal or committing a crime and was filmed by an opportunist seeking his moment of notoriety. It's probably the biggest bungle the NRL has ever presided over.

[Les Tricolores]

Storm in a ****ing teacup …. the epitome really

Perhaps Leniu should have called him a mother****er instead … or a cocksucker … apparently these heady pejoratives are less offensive to snowflakes these days … and will get you off as well if you speak Hindi lol

I’ve called my nieces and nephews monkey many times over the years … and been called far far worse by random ****s … ****ing man up … we’re living in a golden age … you think anyone is going to give a **** about your feelings when the bombs drop?

Dick behaviour from the Broncs … a proper pussy society we’re living in … will absolutely get found out for its weakness one day … that will be a sad day

All I can really say about that is that if in his heart Ezra knows that he was not offended one bit and was purely trying to milk a penalty out of it then that's on him.

I'm not indigenous and look... fair enough if he disagrees with Mundine's take on this one.

Only he will know his motivation for filing an official complaint about a bloke with black skin calling him a monkey during some on-field banter. If his reasoning was not pure then I have no doubt that bad karma's gonna get him on the field in 2024...

If Ezra was so truly upset by that comment then he best look at himself … he is a fraud of a man … far worse gets said on a football field every single weekend …. these lads get paid very well … as they should … putting their bodies on the line … ****ing man up when you take that cheque

Nothing but sour grapes from the Broncs … a loser move from a loser club at this point in time … just lost the most historically unlosable GF ever … ****ing pussies … will go nowhere this year despite their immense talent with this attitude

I don't care whether she's indigenous or not. The problem is people saying her comments weren't racist, while at the same time having conniptions about Spencer's comment.

Exactly Jaxx!

[Bondicigar]

Spencer should have said he called him a donkey. Then it's a compliment...

[Bondicigar]

Watch everyone label the team as a bunch of racists.

I can see the headlines now: WORLD'S FIRST: Black man pleads guilty to racism towards another black man.

Spencer Bigsby the black white supremist.

[GC6]

I have floated the term of Tupou being called a giraffe, especially by Vossy in commentary.
a lot of people have shot back that he is only called that because of his height so it can’t be racist!

Now Spencer has come out and said he didn’t mean monkey in a racist way what if he was calling Mam a monkey because of his small stature and his agility?

[Timmah]

I read that Chris Minns said that...what a disgraceful, pathetic thing to say. Too scared to call out an indigenous person for being racist against white people.

C’mon BBR, we all know ONLY white people can be racist.

[Timmah]

Choc the voice of reason.

Thats sarcasm right?

[ism22]

Thats sarcasm right?

I think it's kinda ironic that he's the only guy who's come out and said this. Not usually a voice of reason, but he's indigenous and passionate about stamping out racism.

TBH only Brisbane and Latrell are asking for an overly harsh punishment at the moment. IMO most others are either bound by corporate duties or simply don't want to get involved as they don't wanna be part of a shyte fight.

IMO there's probably a lot of Polynesian/indigenous boys out there quietly thinking 'come on Mam you farking idiot!!! That's such a dog move to call him a racist, claim you were sobbing about it all night and the push for an OTT punishment!!! You're committed now so we get it that you can't back-out... however, you no longer have our protection on-field if a heap of Polynesian boys decide to target you'.

[Dr. Voodoo Man]

Thats sarcasm right?

Not this time

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

What will the clubs strategy on Monday? Will they apologise and plea for leniency? Or do they downplay the scale of the offense?

Will the fact he offered to fly up and meet face-to-face with Ezra reduce the sentence or do we just have to accept a ridiculous sentence?

He'll get 4-5 weeks
