The suspension will cover the three upcoming test matches Asofa-Solomona was due to represent New Zealand in.The sanctions take into account evidence which showed a degree of provocation contributed to the incident, Asofa-Solomona’s cooperation with the NRL investigation and the remorse he has shown.
All clubs were advised prior to the start of the off-season that serious penalties would be imposed for all off-field incidents. The NRL expects exemplary behaviour from all players and any player who falls short of that standard will be sanctioned.The New Zealand Rugby League has been informed of the suspension.
storm com That’s bull shit you surely be allowed to defend yourself
storm com Typical NRL punishing the retaliators, not the instigators. Todd_Greenberg I'd like to see you walk away from something like this. That would mean that you wouldn't stand up for a mate. Mateship is part of the league's culture. They compete together, and they train together...
storm com Farce!!! Joke call it what ever he has been wronged by NRL!!
storm com Sorry, on this one I cant agree. Its also time to think about taking action against instigators so that people think twice b4 behaving like a dickhead towards players- it's actually part of your duty of care
storm com What a bullshit call
storm com He should have just taken it on the chin, yeah rite. Maybe the players should just sit at home in their lounge rooms when they are not playing, why did you not listen to Braith Anasta he was there.NRL You’re a joke.
storm com That al teach him.🙄👏👍
storm com The price for defending yourself and your friends...
storm com What a load of shit. How can a club comp dictate to the International game.Oh thats right,our sport is played in a few cities.Small and insignificant.U muppets wonder why the game hasnt grown in 50 years. As long as u have ur Origin cash cow.Must be about time to start hyping it?
storm com Todd fagberg I hope someone king hits your mates. You better not blame them though, it ain't their fault! logic lol
storm com All the focus is on NAS. But wtf is the motto who provoked him? Can some identify him?
storm com DISGRACEFUL Todd_Greenberg SmartState1
storm com This is a decision by a bunch of suits in a faceless corporation. Not a Rugby League governing body which should back and support its players when they’re put into difficult situations when provoked.
storm com You lot are a disgrace. How is a person acting within the law being punished by a collect few morons. Fine these people not Nelson I bet they have got off scot free for them to enjoy our game. Review this decision.
storm com Bad call
storm com NRL are a joke and clueless. How can an organisation get so many decisions wrong.
storm com what a joke. You wonder why crowds are getting smaller and your tv viewings are spiralling downwards? Stop tinkering with the game and making stupid decisions like this. What if it was one of you corporate monkeys that got king hit? You’d want no help?
storm com Does this now mean players can be attacked and not defend themselves or their mates?
storm com So NZ get punished but it was a Storm trip they get jack shit Todd_Greenberg SmartState1🤬🤬🤬
storm com com cant even back your mate when hes attacked.... disgraceful NRL get your prioities sorted ffs
storm com What an absolute joke from the NRL. The ANZAC spirit is sticking up for your mates. Meanwhile the NRL spirit is just sticking their own heads up their arses. Todd_Greenberg
storm com Three NRL matches... Who the fuck do you think you are? You dont run international RL
storm com How TF does that balded headed knob Todd_Greenberg and the NRL have control of matches he played for the NZRL_Kiwis The people that made this decision need to fuck right away from the game immediately!
storm com So wrong he was in the right looking after his friend
storm com He was celebrating n representing the storm and nz is punished.. Another great call NRL
storm com NZRK should totally ignore this suspension. Solomon’s can serve his NRL suspension when the season starts again. NRL has no authority in the international arena
storm com I thought the referees in the Grand final were shit, but you just surpassed that effort. Bravo you clowns
storm com For doing the honourable thing of defending mate who was king hit? Are they supposed to stand their and cop it? This needs further explanation from Todd Greenberg
storm com Hey Greenburg, remember this when a time comes that an NRL officials wife may be assaulted in an NRL players presence, and in response they walk away while she gets belted.
storm com R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S
Are you gonna get ANYTHING right ever again, NRL...?
storm com Cheating the Kiwis of a star player. Why in gods name would I watch another game of Rugby League? If you have to suspend him, which you shouldn't, then do it in the NRL season. Shame on you.
storm com The got this one wrong. Soon you will have no one wanting to play the game at an elite level for fear of persecution and vilification. The statement he was forced to put out was grossly unfair.
storm com Bit harsh when you read the players account
storm com Thanks for following suit with your CEO in showing us just how out of the touch you lot are with the real world. What? You needed a hospitalized Suli to better understand the situation or something
com storm So the Kiwis get punished, but not the Storm?
storm com For sticking up for his mate that’ll do me smh
storm com Disgraceful decision!
storm com Hey SmartState1 when do you officially have nothing to do with Rugby league? Want to mark it on my calendar, something to look forward to.
storm com
storm com What a crock of crap. In no way a Storm fan but he did what he did so his mate wasn't seriously hurt! Coward punches kill!
storm com Bullshit. He stuck up 4 his friend who got assaulted by what looks like 4 or 5 fella's and big Nelson cleared house & finished what they started
storm com You can’t ban a player for an outside season & country incident! What a farce. Can’t defend mates now
storm com Are you going to suspend Ben Cummins for bringing the game into disrepute as a result of his swinging arm in the Grand Final🤷🏼♂️ Asking for a friend...
storm com Not sure this is smart by the NRL, perhaps a fine would have been sufficient. You would hope your mates would react the same way as he did. He doesn't deserve to sit on the sidelines for what he did.
storm com What a joke !!!! If it was a Rorters player NRL would have given him an open air bus 🚌 parade over the Sydney Harbour Bridge with Cummins driving the farghin thing 🌉 !!! Policy on the run !!!
storm com Bullshit
storm com Who the hell goes to Bali shit hole.
storm com Disgraceful to suspend him. What was he supposed to do?
storm com Another rubbish decision from Toddgreenberg final straw im officially not watching or following your shit game no more. Football (soccer) is king!!!
storm com Disgraceful. Nrl killing the international game. If the nrl ban a player he should miss nrl games. Should be international board or kiwis who decides who can and can’t play tests
storm com You’ve officially lost the plot!
storm com Ban him by all means, but from NRL matches. Not internationals. Nepotism much?
storm com Solomona is a thug. It was only a matter of time.
storm com what a fucking joke mate, just fuels further incidents of the general public antagonising NRL players in public, stand behind your players
storm com You can’t be 3rd man in on a scuffle in the field. Same applies off the field. It’s one thing to “defend” your mate. It’s another to throw 50 punches & retaliate way out of proportion. He got off light.
storm com so now you're meant to accept that your mate has been king hit instead of defending him, ridiculous
storm com Fair
storm com That's a joke but what else would you expect from the NRL. I hate Melbourne and support the Aussies but this guy didn't deserve to miss games for standing up to some heroes with a bottle
storm com Got off light
storm com Is it because Todd Greenberg’s daughter’s friends didn’t want to watch league anymore because this happened?
storm com you’re weaker than the low life’s that threw a coward punch and approached Suli a second time with a bottle.
storm com Kiwis player - test match time, pretty standard really👍
storm com
TheCoconetTV storm com Really stupid decision when you're standing up for a mate. What would they say if he got hurt badly or even killed by those thugs. Tell me what will the say then.🤔🤔
storm com So ruled out for kiwis? NRL shouldn't even have governance over international rugby. Get fucked
storm com shows that it not only has no integrity, but that defending yours friends is something that they will not do. Screw you!
storm com Yet more disciplinary inconsistency
storm com What a fucking disgrace! This was the perfect chance for you as an Governing Body to come out & make a statement on supporting your contracted players rights. If I was NAS and the RLPlayers I’d take you to Court over this. muppets
storm com This is an absolute disgrace!! Sticking up for your team mate! How does the NRL hand put sanctions on international games!!
storm com Todd_Greenberg Another quality decision by you 😂🤣😂🤣
storm com Now where is the focus to identify and make public those cretins whi instigated this fracas with a coward attack on Suli ...
storm com This is why law makers don’t like black and white rules. It will eventually lead to an absurd outcome.
storm com Haha look at the comments on here...not one in support of the NRL decision....shows you how out of touch the NRL is.
storm com Weak as piss NRL mate ship obviously means nothing pisspoor
storm com Ridiculous decision ... does the NRL Believe that their rules are above the law ... Question what would the response if Nelson was defending a woman that was on the ground ... SmartState1
storm com 🙄
storm com It's being reported security descalated the situation and he went outside and started a second brawl.
storm com Duck you NRL...no wonder crowds and t.v. numbers are down...out of touch....i am so no done with NRL
storm com Sticking up for a mate, pretty harsh on NAS
Basically how to make NRL Players targets for the dickheads out there. absolute bollocks from the NRL as usual!!! 😡
storm com That is disgraceful, he’s standing up for his mates. Whoever made this decision shouldn’t have a job
storm com You’re a bunch of clowns! You have totally misjudged the outrage you are about to cop for AGAIN making the wrong call
storm com That’s bullshit
storm com NRL 🖕🏼... If NAS has to defend his mate again.. I’m sure he would. Bad call NRL
storm com What is he suppose to do? The pelicans that caused this just laugh about it while he is being penalised. It's not a good look but he should feel hard done by and there is a lot of support out there for him. Its being an aussie to always stick up for your mates
storm com What a joke
storm com Meanwhile a barbarian like Peter V’Landys is allowed to stay in the game Sickening
storm com All for backing up one of the boys...Sigh
