Mitchell Moses loses it at Eels teammate

Parramatta Eels skipper Mitchell Moses was caught delivering an explosive outburst in the direction of his own teammate.

With the scores tied up at 18-all and a little over 10 minutes left on the clock, Moses’ frustrations well and truly boiled over with Tallyn Da Silva.

After the fifth tackle and with the Eels only metres away from the line, Da Silva elected to try and pierce through the line instead of using his playmakers.

The decision from the 20-year-old left multiple teammates throwing their arms in the air and had the commentary crew in disbelief.

“Tallyn Da Silva what are you doing?” Andrew Voss said on Fox League. “He doesn’t use his playmakers and the ball is turned over on the line.”

Michael Ennis added: “He’ll get a conversation from Moses when they get back in the sheds. It’s one of the lessons you learn as a young dummy half, in those field positions … you find your number 7.”

Tallyn elected to try and go it alone.

Moses however took things one step further.

The skipper was caught on camera giving the youngster an extraordinary spray which appeared to those watching on to be along the lines of: “Tallyn you f***ing c***.”

Moses was asked about the heated incident shortly after the Eels secured the 19-18 victory by Bryan Fletcher on the Sunday Night with Matty Johns show.

“Yeah it happens on the field … was a tense game,” Moses said.

“We’ll learn a lot of lessons from that I think. We’ve got a really young squad at the moment and it’s better to learn the lessons winning the game than having a loss.”

Moses’ fiery moment was overshadowed by fresh trainer drama that unfolded late in the contest.

The incident occurred when a North Queensland official come onto the field as the team attempted to carry the ball out of its own end.

On just the first tackle of a new set following a long range bomb by Mitchell Moses, the Cowboys threw the Steeden into a trainer with Eels speedster Josh Addo-Carr lurking near the ball.

The drama unfolded after Braidon Burns passed the ball behind Semi Valemei with the ball then rolling on to hit the Cowboys trainer in the leg.

Cowboys winger Jaxon Purdue then dived on the loose ball to surrender as Eels players immediately protested with referee Liam Kennedy.

It is possible Addo-Carr could have got to the ball first if not for the trainer — and the former Melbourne Storm winger may also have had an opportunity to tackle Purdue in-goal.

Voss, speaking on Fox League, immediately called for NRL supremo Peter V’landys to take action.

“Seriously is there any need for a trainer to be out there so early in a set? What are we doing? Peter V’landys you‘ve got work to do,” he said.

He went on to say: “That’s unbelievable.”

Former Bulldogs captain Michael Ennis jokingly called it “Trainergate 2.0”.

It was ruled a mutual infringement, and the Cowboys regained possession of the ball.
