Rugby League: NZ Warriors Victims of Racism

What I suspected all along turns out to be true. The New Zealand Warriors are the victims of racism in the NRL, read about this incident:

Note that the NRL's main concern is how the slur came to be heard. That about sums things up.

But I think it goes further than referees calls. The Australian teams don't want all the talent stacked into the one team, in this case the Warriors. It turns out all the top talent is Maori or Pacific Island, and their natural home is in the Warriors. What I think happens is the Warriors get dumped on regularly so they never look good and so the talent moves to the other clubs, thus spreading the ability around. If the Warriors were allowed to win, they'd be fully stacked and the others'd have no chance.

Oh and for you statisticians, the research has been done on this and the Warriors never get a chance. It comes down to when penalties are awarded and on what part of the field. Early in games the Warriors are penalised when hard on defence or attack. This means the Warriors are put under added pressure. Then later in the game the referees make things look even by giving the Warriors simple penalties anywhere on the field, long after the game is already decided.
