After taking to the defence of Ezra Mam, Rabbitohs star Latrell Mitchell has revealed that he wants to see Spencer Leniu suspended for at least half of the season.
In a segment onย SEN Radioย on Tuesday morning, the radio station discussed how long Leniu could be facing and spoke that he may miss at least half the season due to allegations emerging that he called Mam a "monkey".
This elicited a response from Mitchell, who has defended the Broncos five-eighth since the incident occurred on the weekend.
Mitchell took to social media posting "And some" in regards to Leniu being suspended for at least half the season.
Sent straight to the judiciary after being charged with contrary conduct, News Corpย has reported that Spencer Leniu is likely facing a suspension of six to eight weeks if found guilty.
In an incident late in the game,ย Spencer Leniuย was placed on report afterย Ezra Mamย formally complained to referee Adam Gee that the ex-Panther said a racial slur to the five-eighth.
Gee, who was joined by the two touch judges in the middle of the field, told skippersย Adam Reynoldsย andย James Tedesco, as well as Mam, that he didn't hear the comment leading to the complaint.
Asked about the incident post-game, Leniu toldย Triple M Radio there was nothing in it, and it was all just fun and games.
"Nah nothing, it's all just fun and games on the field and that's it. I'm not worried at all," Leniu said in Las Vegas.
