Wigan should have released Clubb for bringing the club into disrepute.

A Romanian once called me an 'English Pig' after I accidentally 'jumped the queue' in Asda, It was an accident, and I let him go back in front of me, Anyway, I was so upset after what he called me, how dare he.

Did Clubb admit it? It’s not clear from the report.

The fact he has made no statement in nearly week says it all.

If I had been accused of that and I was innocent then I would have released something as soon as I could to try and clear my name.

If he is guilty and it looks that way, I'm more disappointed that he hasn't apologised publically than what he said, we all make mistakes, but it shows the type of person he is that he hasn't the guts to apologise for his actions.

I'm a bit torn about this, is calling someone a name prefixed by the country of their birth a racist slur. Is polynesian a race. Theoretically you could be a white, black or any other race but still polynesian. Similar to if you call someone an English, French person a slur prefixed with the nation of birth.

I actually find it weird he called him that in the heat of an argument and would have thought had he meant it as a racist slur he would've just used colour as a prefix. Not condoning it just trying to see the angle of it not having to come back to race or him being a racist.

I find it ironic that they mentioned his character with positive references, yet he didn't enter the field at the end of the game to shake hands, and has neither released a public apology or offered an apology to Andre Savelio.

Perhaps he'd been advised not to, as it might otherwise be taken as an admission of guilt - whereas nowadays it seems standard practice for people not to admit their wrongdoings but to wait until any evidence is provided / verdict reached

Furthermore, we have no idea whether there has been any private communication between the two players to resolve the issue.

Will the upstanding organisation that is Wigan Warriors now hold a "polynesian day" at their next home game against Hull FC when fans are allowed? You know, like the LGBT day they had planned for Folau?

If he’s not admitted it and been found guilty that goes against his good character.
