Joey Leilua has been charged with grade three dangerous contact (head/neck) over his high shot on Dylan Edwards in NRLTigersPanthers.

Wests Tigers centre Joey Leilua has been charged with grade three dangerous contact over his high shot on Panthers fullback Dylan Edwards at Bankwest Stadium on Saturday.

Leilua conceded consecutive penalties late in the match and was sent to the sin bin for an off-the-ball high shot on Edwards. “I’ve got nothing against Joey there, he did the right thing for his brother,” Koroisau said. “Tensions were high, it is his brother that went down and obviously he is going to be a bit upset. As you would be, as any brother would be and obviously team-mates as well. There was nothing in it.”

Absolute shithouse!! Cheap shot on a much smaller guy!

Looks and acts like he has 4 brain cells

Talofae... malo kaalo...

Where is Tetevano's charge for his blatant and late headbutt to the face of an opponent? Grade 3 is too high for Leilua, grade 2 would have been fair. If the ref hadn't let the game spiral out of control tempers wouldn't have flared late on

6 weeks is massive overs

He'll get 2-3 weeks. Low act, but media hype train blowing it up for a story.

Unstable

Play the race card

It was theatrics more than anything else. And yet, the shoulder charge on Sam McIntyre, which was far more dangerous, goes unnoticed.

Useless dumb player.

Not a good look! Silly play - 2 weeks and a fine would do!

Kids are watching..

Kikau and Tetevano?

Thug

Should be sacked . Not needed in the sport . Such a bad look. There is and always will be emotions in Rugby League but what he did was just disgusting. SackLeilua

This equates to an 8-9 week suspension in a normal 25 round season, wow, I would say 'precedent set' but that never actually happens.

compleat overreaction todd_greenberg u are absolute puppet of the NWO seekin to silence the games CHARACTERES ppl are sick to deaf of these heavy handed decision made by blokes who never laced on a book no wonder rugby theriving joke

Poor Joey

What about the grade 5 biggest flog in the NRL charge?

Grub

Games gone soft!
