Queensland State of Origin coach Mal Meninga has refused to apologise to New South Wales rugby league identities who are threatening him with legal action over his explosive newspaper column.

Meninga stands by his printed reaction to what he calls unfair off-field behaviour against himself and his team.

The former Canberra centre had until the close of business yesterday to notify NRL match review chairman Greg McCallum whether he intended delivering an unreserved apology for his stinging comments or face possible legal action.
