Stars in heated post-match scenes as 'annoyed' Benji Marshall questions state of officiating
Wests Tigers' Turuva and Fainu clashed with Raiders' Starling post-match after Tigers' victory, despite overall team celebrations.
Wide World of Sports
Wests Tigers stars Sunia Turuva and Samuela Fainu were involved in a confrontation with Raiders' hooker Tom Starling after fulltime in the Tigers 33-14 win at Leichhardt Oval on Thursday.
While most players were embracing and shaking hands at the conclusion of the match, cameras caught Turuva and Starling as they exchanged words and yanked at each other's jerseys before being separated.
Fainu then grabbed Starling by the jersey before players from both sides got between the pair.
While there was plenty to be happy about for Tigers fans as halfback Adam Doueihi starred with 17 points in front of a sold out crowd with Wests solidifying second spot on the NRL ladder, Marshall could not look past the officiating as Koroisau faces time on the sidelines.

She could have been a Capital or a Raider. Now she makes Test rugby history
Michaela Leonard, a rugby star, is set to become Australia's most-capped Wallaroo, surpassing Ashley Marsters with her 47th Test.
The Canberra Times
Where do you start with Michaela Leonard? Maybe with the kid who grew up dreaming about the Capitals. Or the time she played for a Raiders team and stood arm-in-arm with Brad Fittler. Maybe her first game of rugby, which just happened to be for the ACT Brumbies at Canberra Stadium.
Or maybe you start on the Sunshine Coast, where Leonard is poised to become the most-capped Wallaroo of all time when Australia face New Zealand on Anzac Day.
"I played a game before I watched a game," Leonard said. "It was an absolute whirlwind from day one."
Leonard will surpass Ashley Marsters record when she plays her 47^th Test for the Wallaroos this weekend. When she tells you it feels "pretty surreal", you have to believe her.
