The real reason Reynolds lashed out at Thaiday?
It was an unsavoury act that most people missed in Queensland's victory over NSW in Origin II.
Adam Reynolds appeared to give away a dumb penalty in the second half at Suncorp Stadium when he lashed out at Sam Thaiday following a tackle close to the Blues' line.

As you can see in the video above, Reynolds was left fuming when Queensland were awarded the penalty, gesturing to the officials that he had been grabbed in the groin.
Cameras missed the alleged incident but the drawstring on Reynolds' shorts had been yanked well out of its normal position.
