The rugby league world is in shock after Canterbury five-eighth Lachlan Lewis had a moment of incredible madness in the Bulldogs' clash with the Rabbitohs, eventually won by South Sydney in a 32-24 heart-stopper<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As Canterbury took a 12-10 lead into the half-time break, Lewis was caught by cameras in a war of words with South Sydney five-eighth Cody Walker and had an extraordinary brain snap, aggressively lunging and tackling him to the ground.<\/p>\n

That prompted an all-in melee and, when the drama had finally died off, referee Ben Cummins showed no hesitation in dumping Lewis in the sin bin.<\/p>\n

"Stupidity, crazy, I just do not understand it," said former Sharks coach Shane Flanagan on Fox League's coverage.<\/p>\n

Rugby league great Braith Anasta added: "Bizarre, I've never seen anything like it … I think he needs his head read."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And NRL icon Cooper Cronk added: "It's 10 minutes (in the sin bin) for stupidity. Look, it's a couple of flyweights and I think Lachlan Lewis may have thought it escalated, so he's taken him to the ground – but you just can't do that!"<\/p>\n

Cronk sympathised with Canterbury coach Trent Barrett, who had seen his last-placed Bulldogs show almighty spirit to be leading at half-time against a competition powerhouse, only for Lewis to give the team's victory hopes an enormous dent.<\/p>\n

"The Dogs, after all they went through in the first half, up by two against a heavyweight of the competition, Lachlan Lewis goes to the bin," Cronk said.<\/p>\n

"Trent Barrett must be fuming!"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Gold Coast clash is a red-hot leader for 'wildest game of the season'.<\/p>\n

On top of Lewis' incredible brain explosion, there were four lead changes, a late Canterbury comeback and a stellar try by South Sydney's Mark Nicholls, in which the prop just about snatched a rash pass from the grips of teammate Jacob Host.<\/p>\n

"I reckon we should get together in 10 years' time and toast it," commentator Andrew Voss said to former Panthers captain Greg Alexander.<\/p>\n

"Where were you when the Rabbitohs played the Bulldogs and some bizarre things happened?"<\/p>\n
