The magazine cited a number of Knights players who supposedly anonymously confirmed the incident, but Tahu has denied it took place to Parramatta CEO Paul Osborne, who said that was all the information he needed.
Meanwhile, a RLW interview with Adam McDougall has revealed another aspect of Tahu's role in the club - that of an "enforcer".
McDougall defended Tahu and said that returning to Newcastle after such an emotionally-charged week was always going to result in a heated performance from the Parramatta centre. He said that Tahu's role in defence was to be one of the side's enforcers and to protect Eels half Daniel Mortimer.

LOL!!!!
Perhaps he was right? Hahaha
Can't wait for Tahu to return and can't wait for this weekends game!!!
Tahu calls Newcastle players 'Rednecks'=The truth
But this racist furore is becoming worse than a 3 ring circus.
3/4 of the Knights are of Kiwi, Islander or Aboriginal decent, so who was he calling rednecks?
Tahu left the Knights supposedly because Hagan wouldn't let him play his preferred position at centre - when Hagan came to Parra there was much concern from Tahu that he would be put back on the wing.
Correct me if I am wrong but didn't Tahu leave Parra to play Rah-rah when Hagan was still coach and then came back after he left.
The way this is going we won't be able to call anyone except by their own given name.
Nicknames will be considered "racist" as will general slang. Call a redhead a 'Ranga" or "Bluey" and we could all end up in gaol
I am not belittling Tahu's stance but seriously does he need counselling to come to grips with the real world
