The NRL judiciary must weigh up the evidence and make a tough call on Spencer Leniu's fate, with the stakes high for both the Roosters and the Broncos.
This altercation has injected a new level of intensity into an already fierce rivalry between the two clubs.
Leniu's actions have cast a shadow over his otherwise stellar career, leaving fans and pundits alike questioning his character.
But as they say in the game of rugby league, it's not over until the final whistle blows.
The outcome of this hearing will not only impact Leniu's future, but also set a precedent for how the league handles incidents of racial abuse in the future.
The players on both teams will no doubt be watching closely, as the decision made tonight could have ramifications for the rest of the season.
