NRL star Leniu faces new sanctions after stadium incident
14 Nov
Summary
- Spencer Leniu faces further NRL sanctions for alleged post-match abuse.
- The incident occurred when attempting to access a family area without accreditation.
- Leniu will miss his first two games for Parramatta due to prior suspension.
Spencer Leniu is under scrutiny from the NRL once more due to an alleged incident that transpired following Samoa's semi-final defeat against Australia.
Following his earlier sin-binning and a subsequent two-game suspension for dissent towards referee Adam Gee, Leniu reportedly engaged in misconduct towards an NRL official. This alleged altercation took place outside the team's designated dressing rooms at Allianz Stadium.
The incident arose when Leniu's friends and family were denied access to a reserved area due to a lack of proper accreditation. Reports suggest Leniu reacted angrily to this refusal.
As a result, Leniu is expected to face further sanctions. This recent event adds to a troublesome night for the player, who is set to join Parramatta next year. His move to the Eels will commence with him missing the team's initial two games, a difficult start that includes a significant clash in Las Vegas.
