Queensland hit back 💥

Congratulation to Sam Walker, who earned the Player of the Match honours after a masterful performance. Walker controlled the contest with a flawless night from the tee and more than 400 kicking metres.

The RLPA thanks Marcelo for his outstanding contribution to rugby league and looks forward to welcoming him into the Past Player & Transition Program at the end of the season.

Vinaka vaka levu Marcelo 👏🤝

After announcing his retirement at the end of the season, the RLPA congratulates Marcelo Montoya on a wonderful rugby league career.

[RLPA | Rugby League Players Association @RLPlayers]

Montoya made his NRL debut with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in 2017 before he continued his career across the Tasman with the New Zealand Warriors. A proud Fiji Bati representative, he became a fan favourite in New Zealand, praised for his fearless carries and tireless work ethic on the field, and his selfless contributions off of it.

He returned to the Bulldogs, where he has since brought valuable experience back to the club where his NRL journey began. As a senior figure in a young and ambitious squad, Montoya has continued to set the standard through his professionalism and leadership.
