Club Statement: Spencer Leniu - Leniu enters Guilty Plea

[Kelby]

Right, so now that’s over. How many weeks is that fat kfc gobbling fullback impersonator from souffs going to get for his comments?

None.

He is a role model for Australian values and culture.

The suspension a win win financially for the NRL and its media partnership. If the NRL are at all serious about racism then they should donate their due % of the collective revenue from all the recent and future media stories relative to the Mam / Lenui case.

[Qld Chook]

That's 1/3 of the season! What a joke, I thought our defence was strong and the NRL counsel was poor.

I mean, the NRL counsel called Spencer Tongan straight off the bat which is racially offensive to a lot of Samoans (& vice versa). Talk about hypocritical.

Why even have a hearing? He was always getting 8 weeks regardless.

It's complete bullshyte but I'm glad it's over now. Time to move on... sick of this Ezra douchebag and his bullshyte. He's occupied way too much of my headspace over the last week or so to the point where I almost forgot that we beat Brisbane in Vegas.

Caaaarn Easts!!!

[Kelby]

Yep so worthwhile the club forcing that garbage PR apology and building essentially zero case in his defence.

either he should have been advised to simply deny the entire thing, or bring witnesses to whatever shit Mam was saying to him in the lead up. Instead we get this grovelling shit from the club casting Leniu to the wolves meekly begging for leniency and now he’s rubbed out for a third of the season for calling someone a monkey.

**** this garbage code

Exactly. He either should have said "prove it" or spilled the beans on the shit coming from the Bronco carnts. He could of went down the provocation route.

Both scenarios would have seen him get nothing or perhaps 4 weeks max.


But no, he was farked from the beginning from arsehole do-gooders.

PVL decided 8 weeks from the start. The panel are just part of his puppet entourage he has in NRL and racing.

Mundine has owned him this week, called out his poor form, hope it distracts him further. Good enough for me.

[Rocky Rhodes]

What a absolute farce..

Absolute kangaroo court! Oh no, did i offend the skips.

I'm mostly pissed off at our club...absolutely threw Spencer under the bus and the way they allowed Spencer to talk after the match. Pathetic, heads should roll...

[Noosa Rooster]

How the eff can they determine intent?

Basically just called him a liar.

Hopefully this provides more motivation to smash them at Suncorp.

[mightyrooster]

The punishment is way too harsh. I’m pretty certain PVL suggested in the strongest terms possible that this had to be the minimum sentence.

Just a thought!

Could we get Mundine to sit in the Roosters box against the souffs scum next game? Get him to do a couple of interviews on his reaction to the sentence?

[Arties Pie]

One thing is for sure Spencer will learn from this experience, He may have got away with blue murder at the Panthers but here at the Roosters we get hammered from pillar to post by the NRL and the judiciary.

Had to chuckle at the NRL lawyer saying Spencer Leniu has played for Tonga (He’s Samoan) and calling him Spencer Luai.

Only in the NRL…
