Fun fact: Leipana scored exactly 100 tries for the Raiders during their time together in 2016-2019.

(I know both were at the club in 2015, but BJ only played the last few games that year after arriving (and didn't score any tries) and Rapa didn't score any tries during those few games with him either).
Ata Mariota’s #1 fan. Bless his cotton socks.

So he’s got four weeks possibly six if he fights it. To be expected. Interestingly for me Api K got no charge for the hit on LL which sparked Joey’s fury.
Yes he was falling; yes it was accidental...but they continually remind us a head shot is a head shot.. hmmmm

Yeah it does feel that way a lot of the times.
If a big lumbering prop wipes out a falling fullback, he's getting the book thrown at him, a little guy cleaned up the big lumbering prop and you'll get a grade 1 at best.
