Joey Leilua just threw a punch during a scuffle between Raiders and Cowboys players. We've got the Raiders next week. Let's see how effective the NRL `Pat-a-Cake' rule is???

Well they reckon chambers and kasiano will both get charged from Friday, so if they are consistent leilua will be too.

But we all know they toss a coin

The throwing of the punch was obvious to Blind Freddie. It was difficult to see if it connected but it appeared to. The recipient - Gavin Cooper - complained about being punched in the face.

Chambers is a dog with a short fuse. Leilua is undisciplined and stupid. Should get a week under this administration.

The big dumb arse Fijian winger at the storm that Ennis mentally destroyed in the grand final threw what is deemed a "cowards punch"
Lucky for him ,( likd the grand final)
He f**ked it up and missed.

There was nothing mentioned by Review Committee re Ropana
Prop Clay Priest received 1 match suspension, so won't take the field against us though on the other hand J Leilua is free to play and cops a $1350 fine!

I saw it on the news, it was a half hearted double bird.

Not too much in it but he did receive a warning from the NRL.

Glad Leilua is playing, good player but loose cannon.

A fine is right for that sort of stuff.

Melbourne trying to break necks with spear tackles and getting f**k all as usual however...

I reckon with no ban forthcoming for punching, when someone like Thurston or Cronk get too big for their boots, it's now worth a sin bin and fine for Gal to snot one of them....

Punchy gets a fine. Wonder who's gonna fund that. There'll be a few brown paper bags being handed around this year, I reckon.

Well that's just common sense eh. The player won't be punished at all.

I swear the NRL make decisions without thinking how clubs / players / coaches will take advantage of it.
