An NRL coach is in hot water with his club after being man-handled by security guards in the toilets at the races last Saturday week.
The coach had a bad day on the punt - and a few too many beers - when a fellow patron accidentally bumped into him in the crowded toilets.
The man immediately apologised, but the coach would have none of it, screaming obscenities and wanting to resort to fisticuffs.
Only quick action from a couple of security guards prevented the incident developing into a brawl.
The club is aware of the incident but after some stern words to the coach, has chosen to sweep it under the carpet, much to the annoyance of one of the security staff involved.
"If that was a player, he would have been hauled over the coals, fined and publicly shamed," the security guard told me.
"The coach was arrogant and belligerent and even used the old, 'Don't you know who I am?' line when we escorted him out of the men's room and told him to cool it.
"For a guy who is supposed to be a leader of young men, it was very poor form."
