Kevin Walters became impatient with inquiries concerning Ezra Mam and Spencer Leniu.
Broncos coach Kevin Walters lost patience with reporters who peppered him with questions about Spencer Leniu’s eight-match ban for calling Brisbane star Ezra Mam “a monkey” during their game in Las Vegas.
Walters was keen to leave Monday’s judiciary hearing in the past and move on, but he couldn’t avoid being asked about it a day out from his side’s crucial clash with the Rabbitohs.
“I won’t make any comment on that. I’ll leave that to the NRL and the powers to be,” he said.
But the questions kept coming, with Walters again saying he didn’t want to comment on the situation which prompted Mam to present a 12-paragraph statement to the judiciary panel explaining the emotional toll the past week has had on him and his family.
“We put it to bed at the end of last week when it was handed over to the NRL. Our focus over the past three or four days has been on the game, which is really important to us as a club,” Walters said.
“We’ve got to get our focus in the right direction rather than looking around and looking too far ahead.
“Ezra has been fine. He has been good. He is ready to go.”
