Sacked Canberra centre Curtis Scott has taken aim at the club for leaking details of past indiscretions, accusing the Raiders of not caring about the mental health of their players.

The 23-year-old was released from the final two years of his contract on Monday after the club deemed his recent assault charge and previous incidents brought the club into disrepute.

But in a scathing social media post on Tuesday, the ex-Melbourne centre blamed the club for not showing him enough support after he revealed his struggle with mental health issues.

It follows a News Corp report which claims Scott was also involved in a physical altercation with former Raiders forward John Bateman at a team function last year which was dealt with in-house.

The report claims Scott suffered a hand injury as a result – information that he believes was leaked to media to discredit him.

“I opened up about extremely personal information regarding my mental health and current struggles, I have just lost what feels like everything to me and I can’t understand why Canberra have continued to kick me while I’m down and now leak in-house information that was dealt with over a year ago regarding a former player,” Scott wrote in an Instagram post.

“The club has nothing to gain out of this, but hopes of reasoning for their lack of support. In my opinion it’s a low act and they have shown and proved that they have no real care factor for players welfare.

“It’s not the first time this has happened to a player at the Raiders that has come out about mental health struggles.

“Lastly, a massive thanks to everyone for all of the supportive messages, it really does go a long way to help in times like these.”

Privately, the Raiders are fuming and believe every action has been taken to support Scott during his tumultuous two seasons at the club.

Scott’s claims come on the back of similar assertions from former half George Williams who left the Raiders this season to return to England.

Scott is considering lodging an unfair dismissal claim against the club.

Earlier this year Scott was cleared of any wrongdoing after he was accused of assaulting two police officers on Australia Day last year.

In May he was involved in a nightclub incident and charged with assault, with the Raiders only becoming aware one week after the alleged incident through the media.

He has been stood down since and received a three-game ban and fines worth $30,000 by the NRL for bringing the game into disrepute.

This year he has played 10 games for the Raiders, the last of which was in round 12.

Scott has turned to Alcoholics Anonymous and psychiatric treatment to save his NRL career, saying the trauma of the recent incidents had left him feeling “absolute rock bottom”.
