No one has ever accused NRL gossip columnists of being 'investigative' journalists. You've gone the wrong descriptive, you are looking for 'gutter'.

Roosters forward Spencer Leniu has entered an early guilty plea to the contrary conduct charge he received after being accused of a racial slur against Broncos five-eighth Ezra Mam.
Leniu was referred straight to the NRL Judiciary over the incident with the Roosters releasing a statement on Thursday saying that Leniu would plead guilty to the charge.
“I want to apologise to Ezra and his family for using the word I did and I am sincerely sorry to cause him such distress,” Leniu said.
“I’ve put my hand up and want to take ownership of this. I said the word but I didn’t mean it in a racist way. Anyone who knows me knows that’s not who I am."
The incident occurred in the 69th minute of the clash at Allegiant Stadium, with referee Adam Gee placing Leniu on report after Mam made the allegation against the Roosters prop.
Leniu was subsequently charged with Contrary Conduct.
"We extend our deepest apologies to Ezra, his family and the wider Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and offer our support to all parties during this time," said Roosters CEO Joe Kelly.
“Spencer has been completely open and honest throughout this process, and we will continue to support him."
The case will be heard at the NRL Judiciary on Tuesday night after the remaining Round 1 games are concluded.

I think given he's admitted guilt and apologised they might be a bit more lenient. I'm thinking 6-8 year ban.

You got caught red handed you bag of shit, You’re only apologising because of it.
All eyes on you nrl. My bet is he’ll get suspended until after our rematch, they won’t want it to turn into a circus. However maybe shamblys does for the ratings, There will be bulk suspensions after the match though.

Now get Robinson to apologize for that bullshit statement in the press conference. It was pure gaslighting like Tuqiri pointed out. All he had to do was say no comment in relation to the matter and say lets have the NRL deal this with issue.

Why did it take so long for the Roosters to issue a statement on this incident, and for Leniu to apologise?
Were they hoping to get away with it?
Incidents such as this need to acted on by the clubs/players involved right away. This happened on Sunday FFS, it's now Thursday. That's just not good enough.

Isn't it funny that only after he told Read it was all "fun and games" ... And only after he bailed up Mam and the Broncos in the hotel ... And only after the Roosters bosses looked at the situation and told him he was fucked ...
Only after all of that does he put his hand up and try to take the high ground
