'Learn to respect other cultures': NRL stars past and present express disgust at racial taunts as new clip emerges
New vision allegedly featuring the eight men who hurled racial abuse at Penrith winger Brent Naden has been met with condemnation by current and former NRL players.
In the final minutes of the first half of Penrith's 18-12 win over the Warriors, the group of supporters, some seen wearing Warriors gear, were kicked out of the ground for allegedly abusing the Indigenous Panthers star.
It is understood Naden reported the incident to a sideline official before the men were removed.
A video posted to Instagram showing the alleged eight men leaving Central Coast Stadium on Friday night, yelling; "F... the Panthers" while performing an indigenous dance for the camera.

"This was an awesome game to watch,'' Luke wrote.
"Proud of the @NZWarriors brothers.
"I don't know what was said to the bro Naden. But these clowns walked out of the grounds like this.
"This video takes so much away from our game. Learn to respect others cultures.''
