Both men charged with fighting, Mitchell with resisting arrest
A week before the two players were due to line up together for the NRL’s showpiece Indigenous vs Maori All Stars clash, the close friends were out celebrating Wighton’s 30th birthday when the alleged incident occurred. Earlier in the night Mitchell posted a photo to Instagram of himself with Wighton, both wearing cowboy hats, as they celebrated the birthday before the alleged fight broke out, accompanied by the caption ‘Happy birthday my brother 30th’ with a brown love heart emoji. Wighton later re-posted it on his Instagram page.
