Tuilagi lucky to avoid spear tackle send-off, JWH binned after sneaky Parra ploy but Roosters get last laugh
Eels forward Kelma Tuilagi was lucky to avoid being sent off for a scary spear tackle on Lindsay Collins in the Roosters’ crucial 28-18…
Parramatta prop Kane Evans has been accused of a racial slur during a reserve grade rugby league match.
Evans was put on report after Warriors second-rower Joseph Vuna made an official complaint to the referees on Saturday evening during Wentworthville’s 36-6 NSW Cup loss.
Playing for Parramatta feeder side Wentworthville at ANZ Stadium before the Eels’ first-grade clash with Newcastle, Evans will be scrutinised by the NSWRL.
With four minutes on the clock, tempers boiled over after Evans had the ball dislodged in a tackle and Warriors players pointed at the former Sydney Roosters’ forward as they made a complaint.
It’s not clear what Evans is accused of saying, with the two sides again coming together at fulltime.
“What we’ve got is an on-field complaint about a racial allegation,” referee Todd Smith said on-field.
“We’re going on with the game and will leave it there.”
After coming over to the Eels from the Roosters, Evans has played just four first-grade matches this season because of injury and form.
