The married father-of-three player is said to be the man in the clip which has sparked a probe by his club, Castleford Tigers.
His wife Lauren today insisted: 'Can I make this VERY clear that this is NOT me!!!!!! We have three children one of whom is almost 15 and she doesn't need to see things like this all over social media!'
The club said that it has launched an investigation into the video and was making no further statement.
The interest in the shocking clip has even been noted as far away as Australia, The Sun reports.
A statement from the club read: 'Castleford Tigers are aware of a video involving a player that circulated on social media.
'This issue is currently being dealt with internally and the club will make no further comment at this time.'
The furore has broken out shortly before the 2023 Super League, which starts on Thursday.

Michael: By far the worst thing to come from the Joe Westerman situation is my own mother sending me a meme about it.
Peter: FYI He hasnt committed any crimes so leave this for his Family to deal with.
He hasnt done anything that BILLIONS of people for Thousands of Years havent also done.
Abwl: Wonder what his wife and her partner are gunna do now won't be going to Gregg's that's for sure.
Johnson: Don't know what all the fuss is about she's just waiting for the starting pistol.
