Watching Monday night’s judiciary hearing at NRL HQ brought back bad memories for the code’s education manager, who was the victim of a racial slur during a game in 2005.
on Monday night watching replays of a distressed Ezra Mam tell referee Adam Gee he had been called a “monkey” stirred up raw emotions for Dean Widders.
And Widders has predicted there will be another race-related incident in the NRL in the “next 12 to 18 months”. “When you play league, it’s a way to prove your worth as a person, to show that you’ve worked hard and made sacrifices. , said Fletcher and Brad Fittler had helped get him his NRL start at the Roosters, and that Fletcher had become a better person “for what he went through”.Widders wanted to attend Spencer Leniu’s hearing to equip himself with answers for when Indigenous players inevitably contact him in the next few days to ask about the case.
“Spencer is not a racist guy. I think it’s the systemic racism that exists in this country that allows these slips in NRL games.
