Maitua banned for the first two NRL trials

Apologies if this has been posted:

 

Reni Maitua will miss Parramatta's opening two NRL trial matches in 2013 after pleading guilty to a high tackle charge.

Maitua floored St George Illawarra back-rower Josh Miller with a swinging arm in the opening minute of the Eels' season finale on Sunday night.

Miller took no further part in the game, though Maitua's suspension equates to little more than a slap on the wrist given he can serve the ban during the pre-season and is free to play in next year's opening round.

The rest of the article is just some rubbish about Cronulla and NQL :P

  • Why couldn't have been the whole season :-(

    • I actually think Reni has been one of our best, and cant wait for him to step up under Ricky, Reni has already said that he owes Ricky cause he let him down with all the drug ban shit

  • oh so Mini gets away with it but a Parra player doesn't? what kind of joke is NRL? Mini practually had the poor bloke knocked out

  • lmfao - he had one good game against Broncos.

    The fact is in the last 7 games despite playing 80 min in most games he has averaged only 18 tackles a game while missing/ineffective tackles 28 (average 4 per game). If your lock is bludging of course a side's going to leak points.

  • That little mister miner from Reni...unfortunately did set the trend 4 the night.... 1 fuck up after another...
