#ARREST | Earlier this week, and following on from Super League Magic Weekend, Officers from Wigan's Neighbourhood Team were made aware of an online incident where racist abuse was directed towards one of the players.

 

Following an investigation into the matter and with the support of both Wigan Warriors and St Helens RLFC we were able to identify a male who we believe may be able to assist us with our enquiries.

 

Shortly before 8am this morning (Friday 10 July 2026), officers from Wigan’s Neighbourhood Tasking Team arrested a 56-year-old male from the St Helens area on suspicion of a racially aggravated malicious communication offence. He currently remains in custody awaiting interview.

 

GMP takes all instances of hate crime extremely seriously. If you have concerns, hate crime can be reported via 101 or the dedication section on our website - https://orlo.uk/IrioO

 

Alternatively you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Shocking, disgusting, embarrassing, or whichever way you want to call it.

It feels as if some people think they can say whatever they want without any repercussions.

I don’t think his mum’s basement would be big enough for both him and junior to fit in

Seriously, what on earth is wrong with you / wrong with your life that you get to the age of 56 and:

a) hold these sorts of views, and 

b) think it's a good idea to broadcast them on the internet? 

If it's some dumb teenager who needs a good lesson I can at least get my head around it, but 56?

I'm constantly exasperated by the idiocy of some folks.

A lot to be said about the radicalisation of imbeciles on the internet thinking they can say whatever they like with impunity.

Send him down to training and use him for tackling practice.

What did he say?

Has anyone seen a verbatim quote?

I'm not repeating what was said but if it's the quote I saw a screenshot of, it was a very "primitive" slur

I think if the police are dealing with it, it isn't something anyone should be posting on here, it'll definitely break our T&Cs.

I’d make them attend all the remaining Saints games home & away.

There was at least one other indicative image on his now deleted Facebook page.

Q: When will we know that 14 clubs is working for Super League?

A. Before we can answer that, we need to know what the move was meant to achieve. Seemingly, no one knows,

Let him tell Junior to his face what he put on line in a locked room

I know, it's ridiculous isn't it.

And even if the abuse wasn't racist in nature, what 56 year old is getting so worked up that they feel the need to go and personally abuse a player? Pathetic.

Great to see him getting collared. A Wigan fan on another forum said he worked with the guy previously and he has history for it, so whilst I'm sure the bloke will always be a moron, he's hopefully at least had a shock to the system. 

On a side note, I'd have liked to see Saints come out and condemn it as well and put on a united front with Wigan. Club rivalries shouldn't matter but they've been completely silent on it, which I find disappointing.

He will probably wear it as a badge of honour rather than it being a shock

I am sure it was a joint Wigan/Saints effort to find the subhuman. It would’ve taken a lot of looking under stones/rocks.
