The Rabbitohs welcomed the stance, as the NRL announced it had issued the notices of intention to ban for an indefinite period to the patrons.
The NRL have announced they've handed down indefinite ban notices to two people who allegedly racially abused South Sydney players Cody Walker and Latrell Mitchell during the Rabbitohs v Dragons game at Kogarah. The abuse was overheard by another member of the public in the crowd who informed the NRL and the Rabbitohs. In a statement, the NRL CEO Andrew Abdo said racist abuse would not be tolerated in the game.
“We thank the NRL, the St George Illawarra Dragons and New South Wales Police for their efforts on this case. “We continue to support our players and their families who, unfortunately, still have to face this type of behaviour. “Racism is archaic, disgusting and will not be tolerated. “We call for supporters who attend games to respect all players and their efforts on the field.
