Footy star Andrew Fifita deletes controversial social media post after being threatened by league bosses as clubs clash over racism

NRL star Andrew Fifita has been forced to delete a polarising social media post after he accused two NSW Central Coast footy clubs of being racist.

Fifita, 35, who won an NRL premiership with the Sharks in 2016, is playing park footy for the Woy Woy Roosters and is the highest profile player in the competition.

The decorated prop has come under fire after claiming on Instagram the Terrigal Sharks and Erina Eagles were 'supporting racism' by forfeiting recent games against Woy Woy.

'Stand up, speak out, and support us. No one should endure this,' Fifita posted.

'Terrigal Sharks and Erina Eagles, thank you for the points, but not for supporting racism. Some clubs refuse to play us because we refuse to be bystanders. 

'Toukley Hawks, let's see what you will do next week. Blak [sic], Loud & Proud.'

Fifita was ordered by to delete the post after the NSWRL and Rugby League Central Coast board pointed to the code's policies and procedures edict.

Terrigal and Erina wouldn't play Woy Woy as they had concerns about the safety of their fans, according to News Corp.

As the situation continues to fester, Woy Woy maintain their players and fans have been racially abused by rival supporters this season.

However, Terrigal and Erina have rejected the racism claims. 

It is understood Fifita will not face any further sanction after deleting his Instagram post on Wednesday.

This Sunday, Woy Woy are due to play Toukley - but it remains to be seen if the match will go ahead.

Last weekend Fifita and his teammates lined up against the Dora Creek Swampies - and pre-game the Roosters took a knee following claims they have been racially targeted this season.

The ugly drama started last month when Fifita was allegedly sent a series of racist comments via social media. 

They allegedly labelled Fifita a 'fat, old, lazy, weak, black, putrid a.. dog' and a c..t.'
