Ronaldo Mulitalo always wants to put his "nuts on the line" during play, but says he would have been a "cry baby" had he let his stoush with Mark Nawaqanitawase continue beyond full-time.
The confident Cronulla winger conceded defeat in the latest tit-for-tat with his opposite man Nawaqanitawase following the Sharks' 27-8 loss to the Sydney Roosters.
The pair have a history of on-field confrontations that continued in Sunday's round-16 clash.
Mulitalo notably jammed his forearm into Nawaqanitawase's face during one tackle, and the Roosters winger threw the ball at the Shark in frustration at another moment.
"It was a good contest," Mulitalo said.
"When was the last time everyone wanted to watch a game with two wingers going at it? No one expects the two wingers.
