He also noted that the incident has sparked important conversations within the club and the wider rugby league community, likening it to a pivotal on-field play that can change the course of a game.

He remains hopeful that Leniu's ban can serve as a catalyst for positive change, both within the sporting realm and in society as a whole, echoing sentiments of unity and progress echoed through the ages in Australian sports culture.
