Late last year while out with my family and friends, I was involved in an altercation and acted in an unacceptable way.
I would like to publicly apologise for my behaviour.
I am grateful the charges against me have been dismissed, but importantly, I want to reiterate that I am completely opposed to violence and in particular any form of violence towards women.
During my time stood down from playing, I have reflected on my behaviour and undertaken independent counselling to ensure I am never in this position again.
I will continue this personal development and education, as well as share my learnings when and where appropriate to ensure issues surrounding women’s safety, violence and respect are upheld within both the entire NRL and wider community.
Once again, I would like to apologise for my behaviour.
I would like to thank my family, friends and the Melbourne Storm for their support during this difficult time.
