Fan fury over NRL veteran's post-match move

Cronulla Sharks fans were already smarting from the 40-16 drubbing the Melbourne Storm dished out on Friday night - so seeing one of their own pose with the winning side was the last thing they wanted to see. The Storm had all the answers for Cronulla in a one-sided affair, but salt was rubbed into the wound for fans when former Melbourne star Will Chambers posed for a photo with his former teammates. The image was shared on social media by the NRL, but while Sharks fans could appreciate the sporting aspect of the move, many felt it wasn't a good look for Chambers. The 32-year-old centre had a 'hot and cold' game as described by Sharks coach Josh Hannay, while fans weren't particularly pleased with him fraternising among the team's conquerers. "Ooft. Tough to see that after getting belted last night," one fan replied on Twitter. "The way he played you would think he had a purple jersey on," wrote another. "It is a bit of a weird one. All my family's still down in Melbourne. I had some tears in my eyes yesterday," Chambers said on Wednesday.
