  • PARRAMATTA winger Timana Tahu walked out on the NSW Origin side after a personal fallout with assistant coach and former Knights teammate Andrew Johns.

    Despite the seriousness of the matter, a "shattered" Johns has not been dismissed from the camp.

    It is understood that a remark that Johns said earlier in the week in Tahu's presence had offened him. He asked coach Craig Bellamy if he could leave the camp and left yesterday afternoon.

    "Earlier in the camp I made some comments which Timana Tahu deemed inappropriate and offensive," Johns said.

    "My comments weren't directed towards Timana, they were about myself and Timana's deemed them to be offensive and inappropriate.

    "I'm really upset and shattered. We go way back. I've known him since he was a kid. Unfortunately, we had a day off yesterday and I didn't get a chance to see 'T' before he left. I've been trying to call him.

    "It's a private matter between myself and him and we'll talk in the next couple of days."

    Tahu has been replaced by Canberra star Joel Monaghan was rushed into the side last night. He was cleared of a thumb injury before joining the camp yesterday.

    "It's something you would rather not deal with but you have to respect Timana's privact privary and his views, which we do," team manager Craig Young said. "In relation to Joey, he's very shattered. He's obviously very passionate about NSW. He'll get back on the bike today and he'll get on with it."
