So I guess you need to change legislation to force judges to serve harsher punishments.

Really interested to see what the NRL does.

Leniu was given 8 weeks for calling Mam a monkey, surely this is worse.

What can they do now? Their punishment has to fit the crime, surely, and apparently there wasn't one.

I really don't know mate, will be interesting to see. It's a bit of a minefield now for sure.

Btw Leniu's wasn't a crime, either.

They can still hand down whatever punishment they want. There is plenty of precedent for penalties for bringing the game into disrepute, and this is no different.

Personally, I think he needs to be out for a minimum of 16 weeks. The NRL needs to draw a line of unacceptability here. He could easily have killed someone.

Agree. Half a season minimum. 16 weeks even better.

And stipulate rep rounds will NOT be counted.

Reckon the NRL won't go too lightly now that the Broncos have signed a more than capable replacement.

I'd like to think that doesn't come into it.

We really do.
I've also learned today that Will Penisini has a brother named Richard


Can't wait for Dick Penis to debut

Seeing the police and courts completely ignore any charges for injuring someone was ****ed. If you just read the charges you wouldn't know Mam had hit someone else's car.

It will be a short thread

That's what she said

 

[Sparkles]

We need a sex thread

We need a non-sex thread!
The 'Buying stupid **** thread' has been safe so far...

Tell me this isn't true...

Well I'm making an assumption about the brother part

He's named in the Eels extended squad for 2025, so yep, it's legit.
