The Brisbane Broncos coach, a former Queensland teammate of Paul Green, who died on Thursday, said it was vital coaches and players had ready access to mental health services.

Broncos coach Kevin Walters has urged the NRL to provide further mental health support to all involved in the game as Trent Robinson and Todd Payten led emotional tributes to Paul Green.

Speaking before the Broncos’ clash with the Knights at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night, Walters said: “My feelings go out to his family, friends and everyone involved with Paul. It’s just so sad. “We all go through doubting ourselves, we all go through some terrible times. But it doesn’t hurt to talk to somebody about it.

The Roosters’ squad gathered to speak about their feelings on Friday morning and look at photos of Green wearing the tricolours as a player and as an assistant to Robinson in 2013. Green was Roosters player No.998.
