Sam Burgess has certainly stirred the pot with his fiery exchange in the tunnel after a contentious interchange call ruffled feathers in the Super League clash between Warrington and Hull FC.
The NRL legend's heated confrontation with Richie Myler only added fuel to the fire sparked by a questionable move that left the Warrington coach seeing red.
The incident unfolded after the Wolves were penalized for an interchange mishap, with back rower Adam Holroyd mysteriously missing from the official team list submitted to the Rugby Football League (RFL).
The Hull FC director of rugby seized the opportunity to make a sly remark, igniting a war of words that had Burgess seeing red.
According to Burgess, the 21-man squad had been distributed to everyone except the RFL, but Hull FC was quick to catch on to the oversight.
Despite Holroyd being included in the squad shared on social media platforms like X (formerly known as Twitter), the RFL does not play games when it comes to official team sheets.
This clash definitely had all the echoes of a classic Rugby League showdown, with the on-field drama spilling over into the tunnel.
Burgess certainly didn't mince his words in the heat of the moment, delivering a message loud and clear: "You've failed." This interchange controversy is sure to keep tongues wagging long after the final whistle has blown.
