After winning the match for the Eels, Chris Sandow shot a verbal volley at Issac Luke that lit a fire under a post-match blow up between the two little men.

The two engaged in a heated conversation while the Rabbitohs and Eels came together for the customary post-match handshakes.

Sandow followed Luke across the field, with the two firing verbal volleys at each other before Luke turned to shape up to Sandow.

Luke later offered some explanation for the flare-up on Twitter, insisting he and Sandow had quickly made up.
