James Roberts

Nope, just what is being reported in the Brisbane media.

Which are allegations only at this stage. Betcats making comments as if they are fact.

Perhaps my memory is failing me. Please remind me of Broncos players who continued at the club after being found guilty of an offence.

Which are allegations only at this stage. Betcats making comments as if they are fact.

As I said, it points towards the culture of your club, which you took exception to. This happens time & time again. Surely even you can acknowledge there is a problem here. No standing down, not even a whimper from the club except the usual nothing to see here comment.

Is it time to deflect again & pull out the defensive "oh but he doesn't like our club so it can't have any truth to it" line?

If you can't see the obvious, it's no point attempting to discuss this.

Did you miss the police statement in bold? He got banned from Caxton street for 10 days and fined for being a public nuisance. Allegations lol the Normandy thing maybe but if you really think that's still in doubt you must be a lot thicker than your average two header.

Where in that police statement did it say that Roberts spat on someone ?

Oh so the police infringement for being a dickhead isn't enough to warrant missing even one game? Dat culture tho! lol keep clutching at them straws buddy.

You're missing the point bud.

You have referenced the spitting allegations and then taken them as gospel and fact.

When does this become a matter of public safety? Its dangerous times to be a bar manager in Brisvegas, the Broncos seem happy enough to let Jimmy the Jet run amok around the place going off at anyone who doesn't pour the vodkas fast enough.

Whether he spat or not my point was he has without a doubt f**ked up that night to the point the police were involved and he was banned from the area then he was accused of a similar incident a week later which apparently it takes weeks to confirm whether he actually was thrown out of a bar or not lol what a joke.

The article was printed on Saturday, has there been any denial from Roberts or his management or the Broncos? Its a pretty disgusting allegation you think if it wasn't true you would blow up about it? Lol either way he was obviously being a dickhead that night but yeah lets just ignore that being swept under the rug.

 

[_Johnsy]

Yep, the entire RL world is out there making up stories about your star signing for 2016, because there is nothing better to do, really ?

You can't see a pattern with alcohol & players here? Pretending it doesn't exist and refusing to accept your club needs to step up is bordering on serious delusion.

 

[Snappy]

I am concerned about Roberts behaviour. I'm certainly not worried about the 'culture' at the club.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

could be worse, could have been snorting coke off a toilet seat....

 

[_Johnsy]

That's a nice hypocritical stance you're taking there.

Dragons player f**ks up: I'll wait and see what happens.

Brisbane player f**ks up: shit culture.

No at all Havilii & Lafai stood down immediately & won't be seen in the NRL again this year, if found guilty they'll be punted.

Thaiday caught up in the public toilet fiasco, nek minnit club captain.
Your CEO lied for Lockyer when he stated he wasn't the person who went behind the bar stole a bottle, then tackled the manager when trying to leave with the bottle. do i need to go on?

Garvey - sacked. Fonua-Blake sacked, Dane Nielson sacked.

Your levels of denial are laughable.

or pissing under the blackjack table
or shitting in his teammates shoe lolz

Why would you be? The Broncos will just throw money at it if it becomes to big a problem.

Anyway how protected must Brisbane be? Imagine if Mitch Pearce went and got an infringement notice from the Police in kings cross and got banned from the place for 10 days. Then was accused of doing something similar a week later, the NRL would try and execute him.

been waiting for uncle wayne to come out and rip some completely non related part of the games structure apart and redirect the scrutiny

Or if your club condones lying, the team & club captain & CEO will just lie about it. The benny will come out with something like:

"Whether it's (insert players name), I have no idea, I haven't even bothered to look at it. I'm not even mildly interested."
"(insert players name) does have a tackling problem so he was probably just trying to get a couple up," Bennett mused.
"At the absolute worst, whoever it was, it was a bit of skylarking. If we've got that serious with our lives that this becomes a national debate, we'll gee, we're all in a lot of trouble."

But the culture is fine.

 

[lockyno1]

Other teams should be happy he's done nothing all year it's better he goes play!

 

[Rhino_NQ]

a former bronco still in the nrl who i played junior and school footy with has told me he has walked in on former international players and it resembled a scene from scarface. When they are saline bags on standby incase anyone isn't quite up for a surprise fitness session in their current state something is rotten

 

[Frank_Grimes]

I heard a Bronco started the Eureka Rebellion.

 

[myrrh ken]

Bronco's culture is definitely the worst. Up there with Souths. The fact that a fan argues that any standing down should only take place after being found guilty of an offence speaks volumes.

But to clarify some of the stuff above:

- Thaiday was only involved to the extent that he was taking photos. Boyd and I think Hodges were involved in the classy act. No sanctions.

- I don't think it was ever confirmed that Locky stole drinks. I think he or others helped themesleves and threw money at the counter. The tackle on the manager happened but was more of a bear hug. The disingenuous lying certainly happened. No sanctions,

- While the weeing in the casino happened when he was in the Broncos, poo in the shoe happened when he was in Souffs. No sancitons. Favourite O'Neill story straight from Wiki:

"In 2004, while on a pre-season trip to Australia with the Widnes Vikings, he was accused of drunkenly attempting to set fire to a 13-year-old boy who was wearing a foam-rubber dolphin mascot suit whilst on a river cruise in Port Macquarie. To avoid apprehension, O'Neill stripped to his underwear following the incident, dived into the Hastings River and swam to shore, before hitchhiking and being picked up by a passing car"
