Mark Williams Denies Contract Allegations: “They All Lies Against My Head”
In an emotional and candid press conference today, Mark Williams, the renowned former NRL player and assistant coach, vehemently denied recent reports suggesting that he had signed a new contract worth $406.5 million. Williams, who has been involved in various coaching roles since his playing days, addressed the growing rumors surrounding his alleged new deal and called out the media for spreading “all lies” about him.
“They all lies against my head,” Williams declared passionately, shaking his head as he stood at the podium. “I never signed any contract for that amount, and anyone who says otherwise is just trying to make a story out of nothing. This is pure speculation, and I won’t stand for it.”
The rumors started circulating earlier this week, with certain media outlets reporting that Williams had secured a massive deal to join a top-tier NRL club in a coaching capacity. These figures, ranging from $400 million to over half a billion dollars, have raised eyebrows across the rugby league world. Some outlets even claimed that Williams had agreed to a 10-year deal, a figure that would make him the highest-paid coach in NRL history.
However, Williams was quick to shut down these reports, stating that while he has been in discussions with various clubs about potential roles, no such contract has been signed, let alone one with a sum of money that outrageous. “I’ve been in talks, yes, but those numbers are just out of this world. I’ve never even entertained that kind of offer, and I don’t know where they’re getting their information,” Williams continued.
His frustration was evident as he expressed how the false reports had affected both his personal life and his professional reputation. “It’s disheartening to see how the media can twist things and mislead people. This is not just about money, it’s about respect. I’ve worked hard for everything I’ve achieved, and I want my career to be remembered for what I’ve done, not for some fabricated number.”
Williams concluded the press conference by urging fans and media to focus on the truth and to be more responsible with their reporting. “I don’t need to defend myself over something that isn’t real. I’ve always been upfront with my commitments and my future, and I want to keep it that way.”
As the media frenzy continues, it remains to be seen how this controversy will affect Williams’ future in the NRL. For now, the coach remains steadfast in his refusal to entertain any contract rumors that don’t come from official sources.
