Queensland Maroons coach Billy Slater reassured fans that fullback Reece Walsh is okay after taking a heavy hit from Joseph Suaalii during game one. Slater confirmed that while Walsh didn’t look good on the field, he appeared to be okay in the sheds. Despite being pressed by reporters for his thoughts on the tackle, Slater remained tight-lipped, stating “I’ll keep my feelings about that to myself.” When asked if he believed NSW purposely targeted Walsh with an illegal tackle, Slater responded once again with, “I have no idea, but I’ll keep my feelings about that to myself.” The incident has raised questions about player safety and the importance of fair play in rugby league. Slater’s refusal to comment further on the situation has left fans speculating about the intensity of the rivalry between the two teams. As the Maroons celebrate their victory in game one, the focus now shifts to ensuring that Walsh is fully recovered and ready for the next match. With tensions running high between Queensland and New South Wales, all eyes will be on how both teams approach the upcoming games in the State of Origin series.
