The disgusting threat a rugby league spectator allegedly yelled at Wests Tigers halfback Jackson Hastings during Sunday’s Magic Round clash against the North Queensland Cowboys has been revealed.

Late in the first half of the Round 10 contest at Suncorp Stadium, Hastings successfully converted teammate Luke Garner’s try from the sideline to give the Tigers a four-point lead.

But immediately after kicking the conversion, the 26-year-old spun around and pointed at a group in the crowd that had been hurling abuse as he lined up the shot at goal.

Hastings complained to officials at the ground, and an alleged culprit was promptly escorted from Suncorp Stadium. News Corp reported that a spectator was charged with disorderly conduct following the incident.

“We still don’t know exactly what was said,” commentator Andrew Voss told Fox League at the time.

“What we can tell you is that a fan was ejected at halftime, so those around the perpetrator gave him in.”

But a report from Wide World of Sports revealed that one of the spectators allegedly threatened to kill his two young sisters, who were identified by name.

The incident comes after a physical altercation erupted at the northern end of the Brisbane venue’s western stand on Friday evening, with approximately half a dozen men throwing punches and tumbling backwards over chairs.

Last month, Hastings spoke about the importance of his family, describing his mother as his “best mate and closest supporter”.

“Mum comes to every game but whenever something good happens, knowing mum’s there means the world to me,” he told reporters after kicking a matchwinning field goal against the Parramatta Eels.

“It’s just a good feeling, coming back, I just want to be surrounded by my loved ones and my family and enjoy making up for lost time.

“Just having my little sisters, they’re eight and six years younger than me so having a brother who plays NRL is pretty cool

“Single mum, three kids, did it the hard way. We struggled to pay rent and stuff like that. It’s no sob story but mum did a lot for me. For someone who had not a lot, she made sure I had the best of everything. It’s good to be able to give back and be a good son and a good big brother and be able to take my sisters places and not have all the pressure on (mum).

“Now I’m able to be a role model for my two sisters and help (mum) out financially.

“Being able to watch my sisters grow up … one of them is 18 now, which is mind-boggling. One’s driving and the other one is about to start driving. I left and they were kids and now they’re adults and drinking beers with me.

“Being surrounded by family, you sort of take that for granted, so being able to celebrate Christmas, birthdays, Easter with my loved ones, it probably means more than kicking that field goal.”

The Tigers will next face the Canterbury Bulldogs at Leichhardt Oval on Friday, with kick-off scheduled for 6pm AEST.
