After his comments on the field, alleged use of racist language, during Thu games, min 8 game ban if found guilty

Ban him for the season. No excuse for racism. Wigan need to punish him as well or even sack him. Unforgivable.

What ever happened to “Innocent until proved Guilty”

I'd guess there must be evidence available in order to bring the charge, but we'll all have to await the verdict.

What say he gets banned and Wigan find some magical way of bringing George Williams home,

Williams is good but, he'll struggle to play prop

He's been suspended for now but I suspect he will be cut loose if he is found guilty.

I appreciate people might not want to write it out on a public forum so feel free to PM me, but what racist term are we talking about? Perhaps I'm naïve but I can't readily think what racist term anyone would throw out at a player born in New Zealand of Samoan descent.

Apparently called Savelio a “Polynesian ****”. The word Polynesian isn’t racist in itself isn’t racist, it’s just adding the **** which then makes it into a racist slur.

It’s just unnecessary, what’s wrong with sticking a man on his ?

Never understood name calling like this, cut it out of the game.

I find it hard to believe.

The idea that clubb could use a 5 syllable word seems very far fetched to me .

Pol-i-nee-shjun.

4 syllables.

So Andre is lying?

I’ve no idea if he’s lying, I wasn’t there, all I said was don’t presume guilt until all the evidence is heard. Did anyone on the field hear the alleged remarks? How do you prove a remark if no one else hears it. The referees microphone may have picked it up, perhaps a specialist lip reader could give evidence. Just let’s wait until the evidence is produced.

Nobody knows....same way nobody knows if Clubb is guilty of a racist slur.

I know Andre and his family personally and he would not lie over this. For him to be charged I’d say the evidence is pretty stacked.

I thought Savelio was Brasilian?

I heard it was allegedly the usual five letter prefix.......

That wasn't included in the original statement released by Andre Savelio, the prefix quoted there was 'stupid'.

Born in New Zealand, raised over here in the Warrington area.

If proved I would ban him for life we do not need or want that sort of stuff in Rugby league

Could be a lot worse for Andre.
He could have been born in southern England...............

Pol-I-nee-si-an


But who cares. Turning a joke into a ing contest

This is no time for levity.

You cared enough to reply. It'd not a ing contest - I am merely trying to help develop your education (pronounced "ed-u-ca-shun" - not "ed-u-ca-shi-un"icon_wink.gif.

You must be thinking of the geographical region "Polynesia", which could be 5 syllables.

Pol-i-nee-si-a.

Or 4 still - Pol-i-nee-sja.
