The hits just keep on coming for Scott Morrison, as Aussie Hollywood actor Brendan Cowell takes him to task for "pulling the wool over the eyes" of NRL fans.
Cowell didn't hold back, delivering a knockout blow to the former Prime Minister over his past role as the Sharks' No.
1 ticket holder.
Morrison, who was given the honorary title while serving as treasurer in 2016, denied reports that he was pushed out by the NRL club.
However, he recently announced he would be handing back the title of Cronulla's "No.
1 ticket holder," leading to an awkward exit when the news was announced at the club's first home game of the 2024 NRL season at PointsBet Stadium.
The scene was tense as Morrison, in attendance at the game, received no replacement announcement and no applause from the crowd.
It was a rough play for the former PM, who found himself on the wrong side of the scrum in this high-stakes game of NRL politics.
