The Canterbury and NSW Blues winger is said to have left the venue before police arrived, and there is no suggestion Addo-Carr is being investigated.

“About 1.45pm, two teams were playing as part of a rugby league carnival at a sporting complex at Tuggerah, when an on-field fight broke out,” NSW Police said in a statement to the Herald.

“Some players and spectators attempted to break up the fight, which then spread off-field, whilst others became involved.

“Police and event security broke up the brawl a short time later and the crowd dispersed, before the game was called off. There are no reports of injuries at this time.
