| Quote ="secondstanza"She makes several allegations. One is that the staff were racist towards him and another that fans were abuse whilst she could hear. My post simply refers to alleged abuse of players by fans. As I've stated any comments by fans that are not about his performances on the field are not okay.
Why would we be as a club be okay with Gelling/Leuleuai or any of the various Kiwi/Aborigine players of the past but not with Nu'uausala?'"
I guess there are always individual fans who might let the club down, but I’m not aware of hers or any other allegations being made public previously, about FPN or any other player.

| Wigan really should take this further if they feel like she’s talking out of her behind.
I can’t take her seriously simply for the fact that they’ve gone back to Australia, presumably to avoid this horrible racism....good luck with that!!

| Yes, no racism in Australia, is there?
I agree that accusations of racism against club staff seem very unlikely considering the international squad the club have always had.
The club certainly need to make a statement. But if the Nu'uausalas had issues, they should surely have raised them formally with the club whilst they were still here in the UK.

| Racism is taken more seriously in the UK than in other countries, and can even lead to jail time.
So she'll need to back up these allegations with real evidence.

| Seems to be a little more too it...both Josh Charnley and Taulima Tautai like the status, and Josh commented with a love heart, so I would suggest it is far from untrue. It certainly needs investigating by the club as this portrays an awful impression. I would absolutely hate to think the club through our "injury crisis" last year forced players to play when knowingly injured.

That doesn't read to me like the racism was at Wigan? Reads more like something she's seen during his career.

It's a bit unclear but i'm not sure I'd read it as you do.

| i would be absolutely shocked if there was any truth in this.
whatever you may think about SW, KR and IL on RL grounds - they have always struck me as open, honest and honourable.
whilst a club response would be good, perhaps better would be for a little bit of quiet and to let the incident slowly fade away, as the lady herself has obv decided that her OP was not perhaps her finest hour.
a quiet chat with her from the Club to discuss any issues she had - yes. but keeping this alive does no one any good, unless there are genuine grievances.

Check out the sixth post down, which I’m assuming she herself has typed? The one relating to some basketball player called Tristan Thompson.
Blows everything she’s just said out of the water in my opinion. Putting a ‘!’ Instead of a ‘i’ doesn’t excuse it either.
However it should be investigated at the club btw.

| She doesn't accuse Wigan of racism, making him play when injured, discrimination, etc. Simply that their time here was a "terrible experience" which could literally mean anything.

| She lists all the bad things as though it’s happened throughout his career and then ends it with the bit anout terrible club and terrible country. She doesn’t directly say any of those things happened at Wigan,just it’s a terrible club in a terrible country which by all accounts SHE hated.
I would like her to clarify her statement though and I think Wigan should ask for clarification.
With regards to the likes and loves from current and ex players, I wouldn’t be suprised if the players have liked it without reading the whole post.

Dropping N bombs in public two days before accusing clubs your husband has played at as being racist. Classy bird.
I hope the club investigate this as racism is unacceptable.

Can his missus not kick up a fuss as well?
I know they were mates and maybe he’s not happy with his treatment because he’s certainly played like a guy that’s not happy.

| I’d be appalled if there was racism at Wigan. I know you get the odd bell in the crowd that chips off now and again. Labelling people that the club itself though makes me feel really uneasy.
That said she does appear a bit of a bam pot.
Calling out the N word one minute and #hashtagging #wiganwarriors just 2 months ago.
Makes no sense. I really hope the club responds to this. Not just to call her out but to address any complaints.

This is as I read her post, she clearly wasn't happy here in the UK and I get it its a big move, one that doesn't always work out for all concerned and if it doesn't and you're halfway round the world it must be a very trying time for all, one I know if I was in her position I too would feel the same most likely.
If there was a hint of racism then I hope that it was reported to the relevant sources and it has been acted on but again I don't feel that she was aiming her ire at Wigan,more at other places FPN has been in his career.

| I think the best for all concerned is for Wigan as a club to hand all evidence over to there legal team to go through the article with a fine tooth comb and if they see anything not to there satisfaction they need her to write a retraction concerning anything that isn't true.Howeover if there is any truth to this(Hope not) it needs to be thouroghly investigated and dealt with appropriately

Whatever money he was on Ditto - It's no excuse that some of your money or my money has paid for his wages - Racism or abuse is not acceptable
The fans may have right to comment - They don't have right to be Abusive etc.
Now saying all of that
I'd be interested to know if Mrs FPN and her husband lodged any complaints to the relevant authorities at the time or intend on doing so in the future and what Evidence they present to support this.
Seems interesting given that he had been trying to get out of his contract for 12 months but didn't want to give up any losses he would incur if he resigned with someone for less down under.
[uFinally[/u
Everyone should be careful what they say here & more Importantly Wigan RLFC need to respond in some way,
Whether that is by announcing they will be holding a full investigation and asking Mrs FPN & Her husband to present their evidence/statements
Or
If they already know what lies behind this then issuing a Full statement ASAP.'"
agree Andy, I suspect the post was removed as she may have no evidence thus end up in hot water without it.

| TBH I had to have a go at a complete bellwhiff at Saints recently, for calling Ben Barba a black b**tard, black c***, Muslim b**tard, ISIS b**tard, etc..
The funny part was that he couldn't even look at me while I spoke to him about it and the steward near us did nothing more than ask him to keep it down a bit.
How are we supposed to get this crap out of our game when it is ignored by 99% of people, and the stewarding is so weak as to be non-existant.
As for FPN and his wife - If he received ANY racial abuse from fans that she heard, she should have reported it at the time, and if he was ever discriminated against by the club, she should submit any/all evidence to the RFL.
Otherwise, if the only abuse she heard was for his performances - which were mostly lazy-bordering-on-sh*te - She needs to stop whining and toughen up.
If you get paid to do a very public job, then if you are (perceived as) a very public and very expensive flop, you are going to receive a very public tongue-lashing about it.

Just to confirm there was no allegation of racial abuse from fans in the post. It was worded ‘I’ve seen him racially discriminated by staff and called names due to his appearance’
