Wayne Bennett: James Roberts has been off drugs for 6 months

[Bronco18]

Salty.

not even. Good of Bennett to put him on public notice with something that hadn't come out.

Hopefully Roberts keeps his life sorted.

You're talking about the 2nd offence when he got fired yeah?

He wasn't fired, the sharks "released" him then gave him a new contract to try and play cheeky buggers with the salary cap.

The NRL saw through this and rightfully said that contract won't be registered.

Roberts may become an "Immortal"

By drinking from the same fountain of youth as Wayne?

See that clue? See it? Look up...see it, nope you missed it.

Broncos do not have a drug policy, they trust the players. This club is untouchable

They also have the ability to ensure no pubs or clubs will ever provide anything to the cops or police.

Former bronco I played high school and junior club footy with who is with another nrl side would disagree with this

 

[blaza88z]

Sorry dude, who are you again?

How did I drum up Bennett admitting Roberts is a coke head? I must be pretty powerful to get Benny to drop that bombshell.

A story worthy of discussion came up. I decided we all should discuss it, which is what I thought this forum was for.

Btw, I'm pretty sure I acted the same towards the Broncos last year and we ran 2nd.

How's your thread comparing Austin, Milford and Moses going? Milford played origin, Moses is playing weekly in a winning side.. poor old Austin, can't even find touch

How high profile was he when (I assume) he was punted?....

Not punted, just offered a better deal. Witnessed it but didn't join in

Ah righto.

When you said he would disagree I assumed you meant they DO have a drugs policy.

I have known a few players along the way who have some good stories to tell too.

 

[Cockadoodledoo]

Ironically it's been 6 months since Bennett's been on the little blue pills.

Signs a new contract, plays shit

Obviously needs to get back on the gimmicks

So, the Broncos are winning the war...on drugs?

Yep, like the Colombians

 

[Amin Yashed]

Columbians....Drugs?? Never heard of the f**kers until now!

Did Bennett actually state what drug he was taking? Or is everyone assuming it was cocaine?

Pretty said he said something along the lines of "he's been drug free for 6 months", that could be anything, could be alcohol.. could be anything

Yep thats it. Must be alchohol as the Broncos players would never touch an illegal substance. But why would Benny mention he had given up drugs and alchohol......

I don't know what it was, neither do you, neither does anyone outside of the club.. could be anything
