A post-game clash between Turuva and Starling escalated after accusations of "snitching" during handshakes at Leichhardt Oval.
A sledge about being a "snitch" was heard during an explosive post-game show-down between Sunia Turuva and Tom Starling on Thursday night.
Turuva and Starling had to be separated by teammates as players shook hands following the Tigers' 33-14 win against the Raiders at Leichhardt Oval.
Those nearby said someone was accused of being a "snitch". What about exactly and who said it - given there were a handful of players nearby - is unclear.
However Turuva and Starling had been chirping all game which culminated in them almost trading blows after the full-time siren.
It seemed to occur just moments after Turuva shook hands with Corey Horsburgh.
