Spencer Leniu could receive an extended suspension following new allegations regarding his behavior towards match officials after Samoa's Rugby League World Cup semi-final loss to Australia. Reports detail a heated exchange involving Leniu and officials, stemming from a situation where his family members were denied access to the reserved area post-match.
