Origin enemies come to blows in furious sideline scuffle

State of Origin rivals Latrell Mitchell and Will Chambers have fired up in a heated moment on the grand final sidelines.

Almost half an hour into the NRL’s big dance, Mitchell shoved Chambers over the sidelines, before going on with the effort, pushing the Storm centre into the advertising boards.

Chambers was furious, pegging the ball directly in the face of his Origin nemesis before engaging in some ferocious push and shove.

No punches were thrown, however there was no love lost between the pair, as multiple teammates had to become involved to break up the strike centres.

Fans were fired up on social media too, with many saying Latrell was winning the battle of the star centres.

The incident capped off a fiery first half from Mitchell, who made the Storm defence look silly in scoring a powerful first half try.

The star centre walked straight over the downtrodden figure of Billy Slater after scoring the try, in what could be perceived as a ‘disrespectful’ moment.

The Roosters dominated the first half to lead 18-0 at the break.
