According to those close to the club, the devastating news reached Leota earlier this week, leaving the normally resilient forward overwhelmed with grief. Teammates and staff described the moment as one filled with silence and shock, as the reality of the loss sank in for the Panthers star.
Leota, known across the NRL for his toughness, relentless work rate, and warrior-like presence in the middle of the field, was reportedly inconsolable as he processed the tragedy. Witnesses said the emotion on his face was a stark reminder that behind the jersey and physicality lies a man deeply connected to family and loved ones.
In a brief and emotional message shared through the club, Leota expressed his gratitude for the support he has received while requesting privacy during this difficult time.
