CONTROVERSIAL Broncos centre James Roberts was allegedly kicked out of a Brisbane nightclub after he spat in the face of a staff member in yet another drunken incident, it can be revealed.
It is alleged the twice-sacked centre was partying in the VIP area of popular Fortitude Valley nightclub GPO on the evening of Saturday, August 6, when he had a disagreement with venue staff.
After exchanging words with staff members, Roberts allegedly spat in the face of a manager and was immediately dragged from the club by security guards.
The Courier-Mail understands the manager did not want to press charges and police were not called to the Ann St venue as a result.
The latest allegation occurred one weekend before the
drunken incident at Brisbane’s The Normanby Hotel on Sunday, August 14.
One witness of the incident described Roberts as a “mess”.
“I saw Roberts being dragged down the back stairs by a few guards and someone was yelling out he got spat on, they closed the door on everyone else,” the witness said.
“When I saw the Normanby article, I thought it was about what happened at GPO.”
The Courier-Mail has spoken to the staff member who was allegedly spat at by Roberts, but he did not wish to comment.
It is understood that the staff member will meet with the NRL’s Integrity Unit on Monday to discuss the incident.
The revelations of Roberts’ second drunken incident inside a week has raised further questions about his future at the Broncos, with the NRL integrity unit already investigating claims the centre launched a drunken tirade after a disagreement with a female bartender at The Normanby Hotel last Sunday.
