Maroons coach Billy Slater has fronted the media after his game one victory, confirming fullback Reece Walsh is ok after that heavy hit from Joseph Suaalii.

“He seems to be ok now. He didn’t look too good on the field, obviously, but he seems to be ok in the sheds,” Slater said.

When asked about his thoughts on the tackle, Slater said: “I’ll keep my feelings about that to myself.”

With reporters eager to squeeze something out of Slater, they asked whether he thought NSW purposely targeted Walsh with an illegal tackle.

Once again: “I have no idea, but I’ll keep my feelings about that to myself.”
