It's not often we see such a controversial incident in the heat of battle on the Rugby League field, but accusations of racial slurs have certainly stirred the pot this time.
Ezra Mam, a proud Indigenous Australian, has taken a strong stand against what he believes was discriminatory behavior from his opponent.
Leniu's denial of the incident may only add fuel to the fire as the NRL investigates the matter further.
It's a situation that no doubt leaves a sour taste in the mouths of both players and fans alike, as the sport prides itself on inclusivity and respect.
Let's hope that justice is served and the appropriate actions are taken to ensure incidents like this are not repeated on the Rugby League field.
As the dust settles on this unfortunate event, one thing is for certain - Rugby League is a game that demands not only physical toughness, but also moral integrity from its players.
