EX-EEL COPS ‘DISGUSTING’ ABUSE
Former Parramatta forward Kenny Edwards has hit out at English fans over the “disgusting” abuse he’s copped over a ball-throwing incident.
Edwards, who played for Catalans, was fined and warned last month after a ball he threw hit a young girl in the crowd during their Challenge Cup semi-final against St Helens.
“I’m used to being the villain back home but I can’t believe some of the abuse I’ve received from fans over here. The boys warned me about it but it’s disgusting,” Edwards told The Sun.
“I’m still not sure what happened. I threw the ball off the field to gain some time after we’d scored a try and some fans, maybe because they were bitter they’d lost, said I deliberately threw it at a child.
“I would never do that. I’m a father, if I thought that’s what had happened I would have been the first to apologise and bring the child, or the woman, into the club for some tickets and club gear.
“Some of the stuff I’ve heard on the pitch and seen on social media since then has been unbelievable. It’s a massive shock, there’s nothing like that down under.
“Super League put a photo of me up on Instagram and people were calling me a monster. I know fans are passionate over here but there’s a difference between passion and some of the spiteful, stupid comments I’ve seen.”
