The rugby league world has been thrown into turmoil after Queensland Maroons head coach Kevin Walters found himself at the center of a growing controversy involving Nathan Cleary and Mitch Moses. The situation erupted following a surprising statement made by Moses, sparking widespread debate and confusion across the NRL community.
According to reports, Mitch Moses made remarks during a post-training interview that hinted at tension surrounding Clearyβs selection and performance discussions within coaching circles. His comments, interpreted by many as questioning certain coaching decisions, quickly ignited speculation that Walters had been involved in behind-the-scenes conversations about Clearyβs fitness and eligibility for upcoming representative matches.
In response, Kevin Walters held a press conference to clear the air. βThereβs absolutely no issue between myself, Mitch, or Nathan,β Walters stated firmly. βComments can be taken out of context, but I have full respect for both players. Nathan Cleary is one of the best in the game, and any coach would be privileged to have a player of his caliber.β
Walters went on to stress the importance of unity and professionalism within rugby league, warning against media speculation that could harm player reputations.
Meanwhile, both Cleary and Moses have reportedly spoken privately to smooth things over, emphasizing their mutual respect and denying any ongoing dispute.
Fans have reacted with mixed emotions β some calling for transparency, others urging the media to allow all parties to move forward.
As tensions settle, one thing remains clear: in a league driven by passion and pride, even the smallest comments can send shockwaves through the entire NRL world. π₯
