A disrespectful act during a minute’s silence to commemorate the fallen ahead of Anzac Day, is what reportedly sparked a wild brawl in the stands before the Broncos win over the Bulldogs last night.
Things quickly spiralled when the man reportedly shouted out at Suncorp Stadium during the moment of silence, which was part of the pre-game ceremony for the NRL’s Anzac Day round.

Video surfaced online of fans seated around the Broncos supporter, who shouted at him and called him out for his behaviour.
Then another man in a Canterbury jersey grabs the tubby Broncos supporter and punched him in the head several times. He then tried to pull off his jersey, until he falls back into the row of seats behind him.
The video shows other attendees screaming at the man and telling him to leave, with spectators heard yelling “get out!” and “p– off”.
One fan told Newscorp, the man who yelled during the minute of silence “deserved everything he got.”
Police said they were made aware of the incident late on Friday night, however no charges have been laid.
