BEN Barba's father has called on the NRL to stamp out racism after it emerged his superstar son was the victim of a racist attack on Instagram by a junior rugby league player.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal an 18-year-old from Dapto was the Canterbury fan who sparked an Instagram row with Barba last Friday night when he called the Broncos superstar a "filthy Abo" on the social media network.

Ken Barba wants the NRL to take the same harsh stance on the issue as the AFL did last year when Australian of the Year Adam Goodes was racially vilified during a game by a teenage female supporter.

"The game needs to take a stand on this," Ken Barba said.

"I'm very disappointed, I know last year during games he was spat on and he's sick and tired of the abuse.

"He's constantly being degraded and I hope the NRL can find this person and do something about it because enough is enough.

"He can take a fair bit but when it comes to racism it needs to be stamped out pretty quick.

"He's been called a filthy Abo, if they catch this person the NRL should put them up like they did to the young girl in the AFL when Adam Goodes was racially abused."

The NRL Integrity Unit was made aware of the player's link to grassroots rugby league yesterday and immediately ordered the NSW Country Rugby League to investigate the issue with both the player and his club.
