The Warriors beat the Broncos 42-12, but it was the action in the stands that the NRL had to address after the match.
A statement from the league said: “The NRL intends to issue banning notices through the Spectator Code of Conduct.”
According to the Courier Mail, a Queensland Police Service spokeswoman said the two men, aged 21 and 27, were removed from the stadium.
She went on to reveal the number of issues the police were called to deal with across a four-day period, adding: “Police thank the majority of the public for being considerate and respectful towards others.
“Between May 14 to 17, there were 16 evictions, 20 move on directions issued, and eight arrests made.”
A Suncorp Stadium spokesman said: “We’re disappointed the poor behaviour of some marred the end of an extremely positive weekend, with nearly 150,000 patrons visiting the venue behaving in the right way..
“The incident was dealt with by police, and the venue will work with stakeholders to understand any subsequent action required.
“More than 99 per cent of patrons enjoyed the spectacle of football respectfully over the weekend and the Stadium would like to thank them for that.
“The stadium would like to thank the overwhelming majority who behaved respectfully, as well as the security staff and police who worked tirelessly to provide a safe experience at what was overall another incredible event.”
