NRL: The Storm have stolen a shock victory over the Warriors after a Xavier Coates four-pointer that was dubbed 'the best try I've ever seen' by Mick Ennis.

The NSWRL is reportedly investigating a Harold Matthews Cup game after a player from the St George Dragons accused an Illawarra Steelers player of calling him a ‘coconut’.

It is unknown who the players involved are because they are under the age of 18, and the publication has not named them, but it is understood that the NSWRL has been made aware of the matter. Along with the accusation of a player calling another player a ‘coconut’, another player was sin-binned over a separate striking incident in the match during the second half.

“I’ve been called everything on the field, but it’s just words to me – I’ve been called ‘coconut’ many times in the NRL,” Olakau’atu said, via The Herald.
