According to 9News, Walsh tried to tackle Carrigan and then Reynolds, while the report also ran vision which allegedly shows Haas “piling into the pack”.
It’s not expected any players will be suspended over the incident and they will all still travel to Las Vegas next week for the Broncos’ historic season opener against the Roosters on March 3.
Reynolds had reportedly told an intoxicated Carrigan to head home in a cab, which triggered the altercation.
Carrigan conceded on Tuesday that it “clearly was time” for him to “go home” when the pair were asked whether they were intoxicated.
“I just want to take full responsibility for my actions,” Carrigan said on Tuesday morning.
“It’s obviously not ideal behaviour that I’m proud of.”
“We’re embarrassed,” Reynolds added.
“We fully take ownership for what happened. We’re a really tight group. We understand it’s not a good look but we were there as mates.
“It started out as a playful fight and a little bit of wrestle that got a little bit heated but there was no one injured. We understand it’s not a good look in the public eye and we take ownership.”
