Wigan player was given minimum sanction for offence‘The RFL have let us down … it makes a mockery of it’The Rugby
Football League have been accused of making “empty gestures” and lacking common sense in their attempts to tackle
racism by the only black coach in professional rugby league after Wigan’s Tony Clubb was found guilty of racially abusing an opponent.
Clubb was handed an eight-game ban by a tribunal on Tuesday evening, the lowest possible sanction he could have received after being charged with a Grade F offence of offensive language following an incident in Wigan’s game with Hull last week, when he was alleged to have called Andre Savelio a “stupid Polynesian cunt”.
