Are NRL judiciary penalties harsh enough for repeat offenders?
Apisai Koroisau faces a lengthy suspension after his fourth offence this season, impacting his team's competitive momentum.
Zero Tackle
When you think about repeat on-field offenders in the NRL, Apisai Koroisau's name is not one that rockets to the top of the list.
