Legendary NRL player Lote Tuqiri has charged Roosters coach Trent Robinson with “gaslighting” Broncos player Ezra Mam following the youngster’s allegation of racial abuse.
When Mam accused Roosters prop Spencer Leniu of racial abuse during the team’s Sunday match, Robinson responded, raising eyebrows.
When Robinson was informed that Mam was “adamant” that he had experienced racial abuse, the Roosters coach had an unusual reaction.
So, Ezra is insistent. that does not imply that it is correct. Although it is evident that he filed the complaint, that does not imply that it is justified; it will still follow the proper procedures, according to Robinson.
Since then, the NRL has prosecuted Leniu and sent him directly to court, where he will probably get a long punishment for calling Mam “a monkey.”
While Leniu’s purported slur has been denounced, Mam has garnered a lot of sympathy; nonetheless, Tuqiri reserved the majority of his anger for Robinson.
Tuqiri tweeted, “If a player claims he’s been racially vilified on a football field, it’s happened!!”
“You can cover it up and claim it’s during a fierce battle, etc. However, it baffles me that Trent Robinson sits in a press conference after a game and claims that Ezra is incorrect.
“I didn’t imagine Trent Robinson would say that kind of gaslighting nonsense (the ‘doesnt mean it’s right’ comment).
“Especially considering how well he responded to Latrell’s abuse from his own supporters the previous year.”
“I wholeheartedly support Ezra in calling this stuff out.”
