    Dual-code international Lote Tuqiri has accused Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson of "gaslighting" Ezra Mam after the Brisbane five-eighth alleged he was the victim of racial abuse from Spencer Leniu

    Leniu has been referred straight to the NRL judiciary after the allegation came to light following the competition's season-opening games in Las Vegas.

    Robinson said just because there'd been a complaint, doesn't mean it's right and said he'd await the formal process to unfold.

    Tuqiri says if a player says he's been racially vilified on a footy field, it happened.

    He added that he doesn't get how Robinson can sit in a post match press conference and "gaslight" Mam by saying that.
