Taane Milne should be sent packing to the Super League after his latest grubby act on the rugby league field.
The NRL needs to take a tougher stance against players like Milne, whose antics have crossed the line of fair play.
The NRL has its fair share of villains, with names like Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Matt Lodge, and Gerard Sutton known for riling up fans and opponents alike.
But after the events of Thursday night, we can confidently add Taane Milne to this notorious club of troublemakers.
Milne's despicable behavior during Souths' devastating 54-20 loss to Melbourne was so reprehensible that even Tommy Raudonikis would have been shocked.
The Match Review Panel may have handed down a three-week suspension (two with an early guilty plea), but this should be the final straw for the winger's dodgy NRL career.
In the dying moments of the match, with nothing to gain but a few angry messages, Milne launched himself at the legs of a defenseless Cameron Munster with a reckless cannonball tackle that could have seriously injured the halfback.
It's time for the NRL to show that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated in the league, and shipping Milne off to the Super League might be the best solution for all involved.
