In this episode, Joe and Craig felt compelled to discuss the incident during the Wigan v Hull FC game on Thursday 29 April in which FC's Andre Savelio reported an incident involving Wigan's Tony Clubb and an alleged racial slur.

In the week following, the RFLs Operational Rules Tribunal found Clubb guilty an imposed an eight match ban plus a £500 fine. Wigan also hit Clubb with a two-weeks wage fine too.

Joe and Craig discuss how they felt that the RFL missed an opportunity to send out a strong message about racism in rugby league, especially considering the incident happened at a time when the RFLs 'Tackle It' campaign was prominent.
