Reed Mahoney<\/a>‘s well-publicised exit from the Bulldogs<\/a> has taken another turn, with reports of an alleged Las Vegas<\/a> nightclub altercation with former teammates.<\/p>\n

According to The Sydney Morning Herald<\/a>, the star hooker crossed paths with the Canterbury group after his first game for the Cowboys<\/a> last weekend.<\/p>\n

The report states that Mahoney made remarks towards Marcelo Montoya that fell flat with the Fijian winger himself, as well as other Dogs players.<\/p>\n

Mahoney and Canterbury have both opted not to comment on the matter, but the report indicates it has become an “open secret” within the ranks at Belmore.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old left the Dogs at the end of last season after being granted an early release, signing a three-year deal with North Queensland.<\/p>\n

Prior to the Vegas season opener, Mahoney closed the door on his time at the Bulldogs in an interview with Wide World Of Sports<\/a>, despite the olive branch being extended by former coach Cameron Ciraldo to hash out any issues regarding his departure.<\/p>\n

The Herald reports Mahoney still had close friends at the club prior to the incident.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t the only alleged incident to have taken place between rival players during the NRL’s third annual trip over to Vegas either.<\/p>\n

Knights prop Trey Mooney<\/a>, who scored a try in his side’s upset win over the Cowboys, got into a heated argument with some Dragons players during the week.<\/p>\n

Mooney was getting stuck into Clint Gutherson according to the Herald, before the Dragons security intervened to de-escalate the situation.<\/p>\n

The NRL were made aware of the incident after it occurred.<\/p>\n

The first year of Vegas was filled with controversy stemming from Spencer Leniu’s racist comments towards Ezra Mam<\/a> that sparked tension between the Roosters and Broncos, while last year’s trip saw two Raiders players in a hotel scuffle<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reed Mahoney‘s well-publicised exit from the Bulldogs has taken another turn, with reports of an alleged Las Vegas…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":525869,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-525868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=525868"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525868\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/525869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=525868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=525868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=525868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
