NRL boss Andrew Abdo says the league is "standing behind its players" after a fan was ejected from Penrith's match against South Sydney after allegedly racially abusing Rabbitohs star Latrell Mitchell.
The incident was alleged to have occurred as Mitchell left the field at half-time with footage showing Mitchell and a number of other Rabbitohs turning around and looking into the stands as they made their way into the sheds at Penrith Stadium.
