Allegations of a derogatory comment from St George Illawarra hooker Dean Young to Wests Tigers rival Robbie Farah marred the Dragons's NRL preliminary final win on Saturday night.
In an incident which is sure to be investigated by the NRL and take some of the gloss off grand final week, Young and Farah became involved in a heated exchange when the Dragons No.9 was held up over the tryline by Farah in the 20th minute at ANZ Stadium.
Referee Ben Cummins twice offered Farah the opportunity to make an official complaint on the field, offers the fired-up Tigers skipper declined.
Tensions continued to simmer until a scrum minutes later when the pair came together where Farah suggested the comments may have had a racial tone.
The NRL has been blighted by racial slurs in recent years with Cronulla's Paul Gallen fined and stripped of the club captaincy over a comment aimed at Dragons forward Mickey Paea last year.
Racial remarks made by former Test skipper Andrew Johns also cast a cloud over this year's State of Origin series.
The NRL match review committee will investigate the incident as part of their normal review process, with any action sure to disrupt the Dragons' build-up the next week's decider.






A real shame if this is true.

Apparently he called him a "bloody Mediterranean Descendant"

What happens on the field stays on the field, but yes there's no room for racism in sport or in life in general, it must have been a brain snap if true because Dean Young is a very passionate player, he didn't start very well (forward pass and knock on) but he set up the Nightingale try well with the inside pass. Go the Mighty Dragons!!!

Not sure if its true or not but Deano better pull his head in and focus on his own game. He needs to be better than that in the final. He is a good player when he wants to be, and is an important member of th team.

 

[40Twenty]

He looked him in the eye after being held up and said

"Get your Monobrow away from me Robbie"

Seriously, if all he called him was a Mediterranean Descendant, then someone get Farrah a can of harden the fk up.

Farah has plenty to say on the field. Constantly whinging to the referree's sh*ts me as much as Toovey use to.

 

[DirtyHarry]

Things get said in the heat of the moment big deal. Storm in a tea cup.

Anyway why is Mediterranean Descendant any more offensive than pom. The media uses the word pom all the time & no one blinks an eye lid.

Seriously, who gives a sh!t what they say to each other on the field

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Political correctness sux...

 

[RugbyHighlights]

If it can be proven that Dean Young is a racist scum of the earth type breed then he should be banned for a lengthy period and fined.

Surely he used more colourful language than that. As insults go, that is pretty weak and a bit 1970s.

Don't understand the blame from Farah. Doesn't seem like the player to carry on after the game now. He'd be more upset for the next week that they left.

And if Young, or any player, missed a game, let alone a Grand Final, for calling a Mediterranean Descendant a Mediterranean Descendant, I'm not here

Maybe If I can chime in as a Pom? Pom refers to people of British origin. It's a term used in a nationality sense.

Mediterranean Descendant is a racial slur. Has nothing to do with nationality(As Farah is Australian).

Your comparison is moronic.

Mediterranean Descendant is not comparable with Pom. It's more comparable with terms like 'cracker' and 'honkey

 

[saint_marto88]

Last time I saw you dumb merkin, there wasn't called "The Pom Boy". Eat a dick

 

[RugbyHighlights]

If this forum reinstates one thing it's that Australians live up to the international stereotypes of being racists and bigots

You're all scumbags. Repulsive excuse for human beings. Should be ashamed of yourself.

:lol:

What's next for Deano, flares & platforms.

Come back when you can type a coherant sentence you fairy.

Now there's a 70's insult "you fairy"! :lol:

Brother, are you geniused, or is it something you've been working on?

There is absolutely no comparison between an attack on your nationality and an attack on ones race, or ethnicity.

Call me a pom and I won't bat an eyelid. Call me a cracker and I'll crack you in the f**king skull.

The fact all of you can't seem to diffientiate between nationality and ethnicity is shocking.

Get an education broham

You ever stop and wonder why your nation is stereotyped as being filled with racists and bigots? get with the f**king times
