Lukhan Tui suspended for 3 weeks for dangerous tackle

Reds lock Lukhan Tui has been suspended for three weeks for his dangerous tackle on Will Genia.

The incident occurred during the match between the Rebels and Reds at AAMI Park, Melbourne on 23 February 2018.

A SANZAAR Judicial Committee released a statement saying: "Having conducted a detailed review of all the available evidence, including all camera angles and additional evidence, including evidence from the player and submissions from his legal representative, Mark Martin QC, the Judicial Committee upheld the citing under Law 9.13." 
 
"With respect to sanction the Judicial Committee deemed the act of foul play merited a low end entry point of 6 weeks due to an absence of intention and other contributing factors. However, taking into account mitigating factors including the Player's excellent disciplinary record and his guilty plea at the earliest possible opportunity, the Judicial Committee reduced the suspension to 3 weeks."

"The player is therefore suspended for 3 weeks, up to and including the Saturday 17 March 2018.”
