The Canberra Raiders are calling on the NRL and police to take action against the racist abuse levelled at star five-eighth Jack Wighton following revelations he is bound for the Rabbitohs.
Wighton shared a screenshot of direct messages sent to him on Instagram on Wednesday, with the culprit calling him a "weak gutted dog" before labelling him an "abo c--t" just hours after South Sydney trumpeted Wighton's four-year deal.
The six-time Indigenous All Star reposted the offensive material with the message: "Stooping low here ... for what reason little coward".
