The NRL is expected to launch an investigation on Friday evening following an ugly brawl between Roosters and Rabbitohs supporters at Allianz Stadium.
Trent Robinson’s men defeated their fierce rivals 48-6 – with tensions reaching boiling point with rival supporters at Sydney’s Moore Park.
With the Roosters comfortably in front late in the second half, a fight started in the members’ area of the revamped sports facility moments after South Sydney fullback Latrell Mitchell was sin-binned.
Footage of the incident shows several people involved in the brawl exchanging a barrage of punches – in full view of many terrified children.
Security initially struggled to intervene, before many of those involved eventually walked away.

It is expected that CCTV will be used in an attempt to identify those involved, with a ban on NRL matches and possible court dates.
On the field, the Rabbitohs slumped to their third successive defeat, with coach Jason Demetriou now facing an uncertain future under pressure.
“It’s disappointing, it hurts, it’s probably the lowest point of my career right now, but I know how we’ll get out of it. We will fight and fight together,” he said at the post-match press conference.
“I have a lot of confidence in this group and I know they will come out.
“The only way to quiet (the noise) is to get laser focused and get our season running again.
“It’s just a matter of just getting that first win. We need to be more resilient.”
Demetriou’s decision to drop halfback Lachlan Ilias earlier this week raised many eyebrows, as did bench hooker Damien Cook.
Star recruit Jack Wton was also seen holding a knee late in the game in what was a night to forget for the Bunnies.
