I dunno but I imagine because Peats has been performing better, and Luke is probably having a whine about not playing 80 minutes
He pulled similar antics with Jason Taylor
Hopefully he pulls his head in

SOUTH Sydney's leadership group has slapped a booze ban on the club after hooker Issac Luke broke team protocol at a family member's bucks party last weekend. The Sunday Telegraph can reveal Luke was also involved in a training stoush with long-time teammate Scott Geddes, a separate aspect of his demotion to the NSW Cup, where he will play with North Sydney today.
With Souths in danger of tumbling out of the top four, alcohol has been declared off-limits at Redfern until the title campaign is complete for 2012.
The move comes after the Rabbitohs' six-game winning streak stalled with back-to-back losses, against premiers Manly and Cronulla.
As the Rabbitohs prepare to host wooden-spoon favourites Parramatta at ANZ Stadium today, coach Michael Maguire was tight-lipped about the booze ban.
And when pressed about whether Luke's demotion was due to disciplinary reasons, Maguire maintained it was because of "on and off field performance".
"What goes on within is between us. Every team does different things at this time of the year," Maguire said.
"We've got a very strong senior group. All the decisions we're making at the moment are purely based around getting our best performance and those sorts of things (alcohol bans) come into play."
The Sunday Telegraph has been told Luke's demotion was two-fold.
Firstly, he made a poor defensive decision against Cronulla to allow a try and also attempted a chip-and-chase play on the third tackle, not staples of the Maguire regime at Redfern.
Secondly, the Kiwi Test hooker was given permission to attend a family member's bucks party after the loss to Cronulla on the proviso he stuck to a strict curfew.
Luke failed to meet the requirement and had an earlier push-and-shove at training with Geddes.
