Eels stars bury hatchet after explosive scenes during nailbiter
Don't miss out on the headlines from NRL. Followed categories will be added to My News. Parramatta Eels skipper Mitchell Moses appears to be all rosy with teammate Tallyn Da Silva again. The duo looked far from friendly on Sunday when Moses was sighted delivering multiple blistering outbursts in the 20-year-olds direction. FOX LEAGUE, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every game of every round in the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership, LIVE with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. In a tense encounter at CommBank Stadium on Sunday night, Moses' frustrations boiled over with Da Silva three times in the final 10 minutes of the clash against the Cowboys. The young halfback drew the ire of his skipper after multiple passes from dummy half missed the mark. Moses however really lost his cool when the youngster attempted to slice through the defensive line on the fifth tackle just metres away from the line. The skipper was caught on camera giving the youngster an extraordinary spray which appeared to those watching on to be along the lines of: 'Tallyn you f***ing c***.' On Monday however it appeared the two had buried the hatchet with Da Silva responding to Moses' Instagram post. The 30-year-old star posted several images and captioned the upload: 'Gun win big effort from the lads!'. Da Silva saw an opening and took his chance by cheekily commenting: 'Clutch #stillfriends'. The sentiment was reciprocated by the Eels skipper who responded to his teammates remark by writing: 'Love me little mate. lololol.' Tallyn's cheeky response to Moses' post Moses lost it at his teammate. Moses brushed off the heated scenes with his teammate after being asked by Bryan Fletcher on the Sunday Night with Matty Johns show. 'Yeah it happens on the field … was a tense game,' Moses said. 'We'll learn a lot of lessons from that I think. We've got a really young squad at the moment and it's better to learn the lessons winning the game than having a loss.' Speaking on his SEN radio show on Monday morning, Fox League commentator Andrew Voss was in shock at what unfolded — both for how poor Da Silva was and Moses' subsequent blow up. 'Poor old Tallyn possibly played the worst five or six minutes of a dummy half in the history of the game and I'm not saying that flippantly, I'm saying that honestly,' Voss said. Tallyn had his teammates filthy after multiple mistakes down the stretch. 'I don't think I've seen a dummy half make so many mistakes and errors in judgement in such a short period of time. 'The on field berating from Mitch Moses, now that's happened before, but it happened three times in five minutes. How do you come back from that? 'Mitchell Moses lost his you know what and I can understand it and I can imagine Parramatta fans losing it.' Voss' radio co-host Greg Alexander said he hadn't seen an on-field spray directed at a teammate like that in some time, but didn't fault Moses for his actions. 'I can't remember the last time I've saw a player berated like Da Silva was,' Alexander said. 'I don't think we've seen it happen plenty of times recently. That part of the game died out. 'He probably deserved it but it was tough.' Tallyn had a tough finish to the match. (Photo by) The moments were applauded by former Panthers star Scott Sattler who praised the skipper for holding his teammates to account. 'When you have a young player coming into the group, you want to let him know what you are striving for as a group, what you are heading towards rather than what you're walking away from,' Sattler said on SEN 'I loved that from Mitchell Moses. 'There'd be no problem between the players. To Parramatta fans that should be a sign that you have a coach that is trying to drive high standards, and you have a captain that's driving the same standards. So when the coach turns his back, the captain is going to pick up the slack. 'If you're a Parramatta fan, I would think they would love seeing what they saw yesterday.'

Mitchell Moses unleashes on Parramatta teammate in fiery outburst
Parramatta Eels skipper Mitchell Moses was caught delivering an explosive outburst in the direction of his own teammate. With the scores tied up at 18-all and a little over 10 minutes left on the clock, Moses' frustrations well and truly boiled over with Tallyn Da Silva. FOX LEAGUE, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every game of every round in the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership, LIVE with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. After the fifth tackle and with the Eels only metres away from the line, Da Silva elected to try and pierce through the line instead of using his playmakers. The decision from the 20-year-old left multiple teammates throwing their arms in the arm and had the commentary crew in disbelief. 'Tallyn Da Silva what are you doing?' Andrew Voss said on Fox League. 'He doesn't use his playmakers and the ball is turned over on the line.' Michael Ennis added: 'He'll get a conversation from Moses when they get back in the sheds. It's one of the lessons you learn as a young dummy half, in those field positions … you find your number 7.' Moses however took things one step further. The skipper was caught on camera giving the youngster an extraordinary spray which appeared to those watching on to be along the lines of: 'Tallyn you f***ing c***.' Watch the explosive outburst in the video player above Moses was asked about the heated incident shortly after the Eels secured the 19-18 victory by Bryan Fletcher on the Sunday Night with Matty Johns show. 'Yeah it happens on the field … was a tense game,' Moses said. 'We'll learn a lot of lessons from that I think. We've got a really young squad at the moment and it's better to learn the lessons winning the game than having a loss.' Moses' fiery moment was overshadowed by fresh trainer drama that unfolded late in the contest. The incident occurred when a North Queensland official come onto the field as the team attempted to carry the ball out of its own end. On just the first tackle of a new set following a long range bomb by Mitchell Moses, the Cowboys threw the Steeden into a trainer with Eels speedster Josh Addo-Carr lurking near the ball. The drama unfolded after Braidon Burns passed the ball behind Semi Valemei with the ball then rolling on to hit the Cowboys trainer in the leg. Cowboys winger Jaxon Purdue then dived on the loose ball to surrender as Eels players immediately protested with referee Liam Kennedy. It is possible Addo-Carr could have got to the ball first if not for the trainer — and the former Melbourne Storm winger may also have had an opportunity to tackle Purdue in-goal. Voss, speaking on Fox League, immediately called for NRL supremo Peter V'landys to take action. 'Seriously is there any need for a trainer to be out there so early in a set? What are we doing? Peter V'landys you've got work to do,' he said. He went on to say: 'That's unbelievable.' Former Bulldogs captain Michael Ennis jokingly called it 'Trainergate 2.0'. It was ruled a mutual infringement, and the Cowboys regained possession of the ball.
