Racism drama is such a clickbaity headline. But regardless of your feelings towards Johnathan Thurston, I'm not entirely sure I'd be hitching my wagon to Spencer Leniu on this one.
I know Leniu already has lost a few dollars due to his stupidity.......but, he needs to take stock fairly quickly or he'll lose a lot more.

His problem with Thurston is jt said he should’ve got 12 weeks when leniu got into Ezra but then didn’t say much when he had his driving incidents which are way more serious

Sure he’s unhinged but it’s funny

Yeah Spence is pretty dumb.

Not sure why JTs views on Mam's driving charge matter in terms of his comments (as an Indigenous man) on Spencer being a dumb racist

Thurston chose to comment on Spencer re monkey gate and chose not to comment on Mam’s driving incident.

Both inccaused unnecessary publicity for the NRL. Both poor decisions.

There certainly was deafening silence by quite a few players and commentators towards Mam after his driving incident who were very loud and quick to recommend punishment for Lenui.

Maybe Thurston didn’t see anything wrong with Mam’s incident?
