Adam Peacock of Newstalk ZB argues that the decision to send off Sydney Roosters player Sua’ali for a high tackle in a recent game was unjust and that he should not be further punished. Peacock believes that the referee made a mistake in sending Sua’ali off and that the incident did not warrant such a harsh punishment. He acknowledges that player safety is important, but argues that in this case, Sua’ali did not intentionally harm the opposing player and should not be punished for what was essentially an accident. Peacock also points out that the incident occurred during a crucial moment in the game and that the Roosters were disadvantaged by the referee’s decision. He believes that the NRL should review the send-off and consider rescinding any further punishment for Sua’ali. Peacock expresses sympathy for Sua’ali, who he describes as a young player still learning the ropes of professional rugby league, and argues that he should be given the benefit of the doubt in this situation. Overall, Peacock’s argument is based on the belief that Sua’ali should not be unfairly punished for a mistake that was not intentional and did not have malicious intent.
