Is JWH back round 2?

He laughed about it in post game interviews so that probably means he said it .
I’d say he’s in doubt for round 2

Calling someone a monkey isn't racist. I call my cat monkey because he is nimble, cheeky and good at climbing. If it was said, I doubt very much that it was meant in any sort of racist way. Mam will withdraw his complaint.

Sorry but I could not possibly disagree with this more.
It is absolutey and abhorrently racist.
Context matters. It could be racist but it is not inherently racist.

It’s been reported that Ezra’s been in tears after the match. It’s piss poor form, Spencer‘s a fool.
According to NRL legend Johnathan Thurston on Nine's broadcast, Mam was emotional after the incident with Leniu.
"They said he was in tears from it," Thurston revealed.
"I'm a little bit emotional about it, that in this day and age one of our players would be allegedly saying what he said.

Of course, it's its your cat then not racist.
If its a person of colour then it is racist.
There is a huge historical context to the use of the term monkey/ape to dehumanise people of colour.
Point taken. I still don't think Mam goes through with it.
The way it’s been reported there is no way he will withdraw the complaint and nor should he. If it can be proven Spencer won’t be playing anytime soon.
