- Sharks star Braydon Trindall ‘levelled’ Mitchell Moses
- Eels halfback reacted to the shoulder charge
- Unfolded early in Friday clash during Magic Round
Mitchell Moses and Braydon Trindall aren’t expected to catch up for a beer over Magic Round this weekend in Brisbane after the rival halfbacks were involved in a fiery on-field exchange on Friday night.
Sharks star Trindall flattened his opposite inside the first 10 minutes off the ball with a brutal shoulder charge – and the Eels playmaker was quick to make his feelings known about the contact.
‘Mitchell Moses just got levelled out the back,’ footy legend Cooper Cronk said in commentary for Fox League.
‘Braydon Trindall has come out and hit the Eels halfback without possession. Have to check the contact here, but Trindall races out.’
Following the incident, Trindall didn’t back down.
He was anything but remorseful, repeatedly referring to Moses as a ‘pu**y’ before the Parramatta no.7 made a cheeky reference to the Cronulla half’s hairline.
Trindall was also placed on report by referee Peter Gough following the contact.
Ultimately Trindall had the last laugh at Suncorp Stadium, with his team running out 28-18 winners.

The footy action continues on Saturday, with the injury-hit Rabbitohs taking on the Knights from 3pm.
Next is the Warriors versus Cowboys from 5:30pm, before the Wests Tigers do battle with the Dragons from 7.45pm.
Prop David Klemmer will be keen to impress for the Red V given he left the Tigers after reportedly falling out with coach Benji Marshall.
At 31, he is said to be enjoying his new surroundings – as well as playing under Shane Flanagan.
‘There are no hard feelings,’ Klemmer said after jumping ship to the Dragons.
‘When this opportunity came up, I just wanted to give it a crack.’
The Magic Round action concludes on Sunday after three more matches, with many fans keen to watch the match of the round featuring the Melbourne Storm and Canberra Raiders at 6.25pm.
