NRL star Braith Anasta receives a very cheeky cake as a thank you for his heroic pub act
Former NRL star Braith Anasta has shared the cheeky cake he was given as a thank you for his recent heroic act at a Sydney pub.
The 42-year-old TV presenter had to intervene in a bizarre incident on Friday after a guest at the Robin Hood Hotel pulled a fire extinguisher off the wall, flooding the bar and guests at an event for the whiskey brand Fireball.
Fireball thanked Braith in a hilarious way: by sending him a cake in the shape of a fire extinguisher.
Braith shared a short video on Instagram on Thursday showing the candy proudly sitting on a table in his living room.
In the video’s caption, he called the brand’s way of saying thank you “next level.”
‘Team @fireball_au is next level,’ he wrote. ‘Best cake ever.’
The NRL 360 co-host was attending a football finals party on behalf of a popular whisky brand when chaos ensued.
In bizarre scenes, a guest pulled a fire extinguisher off the wall at around 8:30pm and began spraying the bar, flooding stunned guests at the event.

Ali Daher, showbiz reporter for Ny Breaking Australia, was present and saw Braith hold back the man, believed to be in his late 20s, as he tried to flee with one of his mates.
The 2004 Bulldogs championship winner wasn’t having it and violently grabbed the man by the collar, as seen in exclusive footage.
Despite initial reports, Braith held the prankster until police arrived, but a police spokesman said the man had “already left the scene” by the time officers arrived.

Braith told Ny Breaking Australia he initially thought the antics were part of the night.
“When it happened, I was in the bar… I saw the guy grab the fire extinguisher and I thought, ‘He’s not going to spray that, is he?'” he said.
‘He sprayed it at everyone, people got soaked, their clothes were torn.
‘Everyone was shocked and disappointed, it ruined a great evening.’
A New South Wales Police spokesperson said on Saturday: ‘At approximately 8.30pm on Friday (13 September 2024), officers from the Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command were called to a hotel on Bronte Road, Waverley following reports that a man had sprayed the contents of a fire extinguisher into the business.
‘Police arrived and found the man had already left the scene. The hotel was evacuated, but no injuries were reported.
Police have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
‘As the investigation is ongoing, anyone with information is urged to contact Waverley Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.’
