The NRL now has the opportunity to hand out a massive ban on Roosters star Spencer Leniu after his admission in the racism scandal involving Broncos player Ezra Mam.
Leniu's guilty plea to the contrary conduct charge has put him in hot water, facing a significant suspension for calling Mam a "monkey" during their game in Las Vegas.
This incident has sparked intense debate and controversy, with Broncos players confronting the Roosters forward at the team hotel.
Other Indigenous stars have joined in, calling for a hefty ban and demanding that racial slurs be dealt with severely by NRL authorities.
Leniu's upcoming appearance in front of the NRL judiciary will determine the length of his suspension, with the panel set to weigh in on the matter.
Leniu has expressed remorse for his actions, apologizing to Mam and his family for causing them distress with his inappropriate language.
