I'd guessed what it was and you've just confirmed it.
On a slightly related note, I saw the other week they've finally changed the name of that stand, the one someone used to have as an avatar, after losing a race case. The club concerned, I forget who it was, claimed it was the players nickname due to the brand of shoe polish he used

If the Manly player has outright been racist with malicious intent; then we do not need that in our game and he deserves punishment. A reason for Leeds' failure to pursue the comments may have been however that it was not meant in a racist way it was literally just a case of language barriers. Just a thought???
Was one of them called Dean Lance?

You can't honestly believe they don't know what they're saying or what affect it has on the person they're saying it to? Even If this is the case they are still being racist as ignorance is no defence.
Maybe the entire Australian population need educating
Surely Robinson should have included it in his report if both Diskin said something and Sinfield confirmed it. Or do players actually have to ask for something to be put in a refs report? I personally think that Robinson's failure to include it in his match report says a lot about him and perhaps he too needs to go on a racism awareness course.

the world has gone potty here is all thje news .pics.videos. nrl drama The National Rugby League (NRL) has stepped into the controversy over Manly full-back Brett Stewart, banning him from playing for four weeks after he was charged with sexual assault late yesterday.
The Sea Eagles named Stewart to face the Bulldogs in their opening round clash on Saturday night.
But after a heated meeting with Manly officials this morning an angry NRL board announced that Stewart was being suspended until round five and the club was being fined $100,000.

winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11
