Meninga did nothing wrong

9:56 am on 21 June 2013

The Queensland rugby league coach Mal Meninga has been cleared by the NRL integrity unit of any wrong doing after he was asked to leave a Brisbane hotel on Tuesday night.

The newly-formed unit reviewed a report from the Queensland Rugby League and conducted their own interviews into the incident and found Meninga had no case to answer.

An NRL statement says the inquiries found no suggestion of intoxicated or anti-social behaviour that would warrant further action.

Earlier, despite admitting he broke team protocol by being asked to leave the hotel, Meninga blamed the media for creating yet another off-field rugby league controversy.
