- Leniu launched a series of attacks on the LNR Great
- Result from comments made on racial broadcasting costs in 2024
- Nrl is unlikely to sanction it unless the circumstances change
Spencer Leniu is an opportunity to avoid the sanction for his touch spray at Johnathan Thurston, after the Roosters of Sydney accessory has doubled on his shot charged with the Grand of the Rugby League.
Less than 12 hours after allegedly called Thurston a “F *** Wit”, Leniu went to social networks on Saturday morning to accuse him of being two sides and “false”.
It is understood that the LNR does not work on the problem yet and will not do so that the network or Thurston does not plead and presents proofs to them.
At this stage, neither new nor Thurston pleaded.
The drama of the Friday evening touch line continued the nasty fall in the Las Vegas racism saga last year, where Leniu admitted to having called the Aboriginal star Ezra Mam a monkey.
Leniu subsequently gave a ban on eight games, while Thurston at the time called for suspensions of 12 games covered for any player found guilty of a racial insult.
Spencer Leniu launched a series of attacks on the great Johnathan Thurston of NRL
Thurston spoke out against Leniu last year when the rooster striker was accused of the racial vilization of the broncos star, Ezra Mam,
Leniu first faced Thurston when he was exchanged during the second half of the Roosters 26-16 victory against Brisbane on Friday evening, with Thurston working on the sidelines for nine.
It is understood that Thurston approached Leniu after the match to clarify the problem, which prompted a second verbal spray.
Thurston would have been shaken by the incident, sources close to the 41 -year -old man saying that Leniu called him an “F *** Wit”.
Friday evening’s match scored the first time that Leniu had played the Broncos since the incident and was hook when he was walking from the field before spit.
International Samoan then went to Instagram on Saturday morning to go to the case of the case, before raising other Thurston shots.
“I never wanted to speak to the news, he continued to try to come and talk to me,” published Leniu in a story on the social media site.
“I said” Lad IDC (I don’t care) if you hate me for what I did. But do not come to me asking me questions as we are Algood (sic).
“Do not be two face (sic). I hate myself, I’m eetswa (sweet) with that. But don’t be wrong. I hate false people.
Sydney roosters coach Trent Robinson defended Leniu and told those who accused him of starting the altercations to cool your jets ”
Leniu spoke to Thurston twice at the Suncorp stadium on Friday evening, once during the match and once after
It is understood that Leniu had been upset by Thurston speaking of the racial suspension on a podcast broadcast in last year’s final.
Leniu had been involved earlier in one of the most stilted moments in Friday’s game on Friday when he launched a success out of the ball at Kotoni Staggs after a high tackle.
The roosters accessory was warned by the incident, but not sin by referee Peter Gough.
Leniu and Staggs were involved in a verbal altercation in the corridor of a Hôtel de Las Vegas last year, in the hours that followed the Slur Mam.
Aboriginal legend Thurston was to conduct post-match interviews in rooster hangars, but nine colleagues Cameron Smith replaced it.
Roosters coach Trent Robinson also defended Leniu after the match.
“People will always have differences in opinion and you can express this,” said Robinson.
“It is normal to say” I do not agree with you “ends both. No harm done … as long as people do not cross the line or say the bad thing.
“From what I saw, there was no crossing of the line.
“Spencer did not approach anyone, so I don’t know why you put it on Spencer here.”
