Brisbane coach Kevin Walters has sensationally walked out of a press conference after refusing to answer questions about the behaviour of star player Payne Haas. Just over a month from the launch of the 2021 NRL season, Walters was in no mood to talk about Haas abuse of police officers after the NSW Origin prop pleaded guilty to intimidating police on Thursday morning. The rookie NRL coach also bizarrely dead-batted a question about the appointment of Paul Green in Walters former role as Queensland State of Origin coach. Ahead of his first season as Broncos coach, Walters was appearing in Brisbane at a promotion for next week s All Stars Boxing event in Townsville.
