Some people were swearing, others laughing at the fist fight.

The fracas prompted concerned match officials to suspend the game for five minutes.

One frantic woman is heard yelling: “Walk away.”

“It’s an ugly incident and we never want to see that at any rugby league game or any community level sport,” said RLCC board chairman Nathan Waugh.

“It’s unfortunate and ultimately we would expect that there would be consequences for this involved.”
