Afterwards Walker went down the line, shaking hands with Nicho Hynes before locking eyes with McInnes and then shoving him away as McInnes attempted to shake his hand.

McInnes turned back as Walker continued down the line and appeared to follow after him.

The pair played together at the Rabbitohs before McInnes joined the Dragons in 2017.

Walker set up a try, got four tackle busts, two offloads and ran for 73 meters but overall it was a night to forget for the Bunnies’ star five-eighth as Sharks players continued to get under his skin.

The McInnes moment comes six weeks after Walker’s temperament was labeled a “massive problem” for the Rabbitohs given rivals are now purposely trying to set him off.

Dragons prop Aaron Woods revealed after their 32-12 win over the Rabbitohs in Round 15 that trying to get under Walker’s skin was a part of their game plan.

“If we can get him off his game a little bit, try to frustrate him and pressure him we know he does get a little bit angry,” he told Triple M at the time.

“The fuse is pretty short with him and you can get him off the game. That was part of it [the game plan].”

The Rabbitohs were penalized over the shot and three tackles later Cronulla halfback Nicho Hynes’ slotted the match-winning field goal.

“High tackle Burgess, it’s a big problem, it’s on halfway,” Dan Ginnane said on Fox League.

“No matter what it’s a penalty to Cronulla, but what is the aftermath.

Ooft, a bit of force in that from Burgess. The players from Cronulla have just seen a replay and that’s got them bubbling again.

“Gone. Sit off. Tom Burgess straight from the field and they will finish with 12 and they have three and a half minutes to hold on with 12.”

Co-commentator Steve Roach believes Burgess was unlucky to be penalized, let alone sent off.

“He was just trying to do something for his team, a bit over the top but I don’t think he hit him in the head actually, it slid up,” Roach said.

Hynes kicked for touch and three tackles later sent the home crowd into raptures by slotting a golden point field goal.

“Nicho Hynes is ice cool, it’s Cronulla’s night, they’ve done it again at the death in the Shire,” Ginnane said.

“It might be the moment that catapults them into the final four.”
