The Gold Coast Titans say they will work with the NRL as it investigates an alleged incident of racial abuse against the team's Tyrone Peachey.
The NRL's Integrity Unit will investigate whether Tyrone Peachey was racially abused by a Newcastle player in the Gold Coast's win on Friday night.
Peachey could be heard telling referee Chris Sutton he had been the victim of a racial slur in the second half of the 36-6 win.Peachey opted not to make an official on-field complaint when pressed further."Our immediate focus is Tyrone Peachey as the impact of an event like this can have a toll on the individual. Tyrone has our absolute support,'' Titans CEO Steve Mitchell said.
It's understood the Integrity Unit will be able to pore over the referee's microphone and broadcaster audio to use in their investigation.Any drama would come at the worst possible time for the Knights ahead of their elimination final against South Sydney in Sydney next weekend.
