Broncos prop Matt Lodge and Sharks forward Andrew Fifita playfully butt heads on Tuesday night via social media.
Lodge posted a photo of himself kicking off at Suncorp on his Instagram account captioned: "You don’t appreciate what you have until it’s gone. My experiences and lessons have made me Grateful for every moment. ❤️ what a place to do what you love #suncorp #brisbane #broncos #8#dreams #lovemyjob #letsgo#viewoffthebackfence."
Fifta commented on the photo, saying: "3 weeks you gutless peace (sic) of sh--, Run it dead straight off the kick off at me! Round 2, 8 vs 8 #fifitalodge #letsgo."
Lodge replied to Fifta's cheeky stab, replying with: "I’ll happily run it straight at you but I’ll have to get the wingers ready on my side for when you run it SIDEWAYS across the field at them you 130kg HANDBRAKING CAT."
But it was all very much tongue-in-cheek. Fifta and Lodge are good friends from way back, evident by the fact that the pair spent a night together during last year's Origin game three.
And you can book Thursday July 26 in your diaries. The pair will put their friendship aside when their team's square off at Suncorp Stadium in round 20, where there is sure to be no love lost.
