Brisbane has released the following statement after reports broke on Tuesday afternoon involving the club.

It was reported that a number of senior players were at the pokies on the night before their 58-0 elimination final loss to Parramatta on Sunday, and the Broncos have addressed the claims on their website.

The full statement can be seen below.

In relation to media reports on the actions of Broncos team members on Saturday night, the club has spoken to a number of players.

From those conversations, we understand that a small number were playing poker machines at a venue close to the team hotel.

Others called in for a short period on their way back to the team hotel from the shops.

There is no suggestion the players were drinking, and our entire squad presented at a team breakfast at 7am the next morning.

Players aren’t confined to the team hotel on away trips once their team commitments including dinner, team meeting and sports massage have been completed.

Over many years, the club has placed trust in the playing group to do the right thing in regard to their pre-game preparation.

Given the players were about to play their biggest game of the year, they should have been more professional in their actions.

The club will take this into consideration during the end of year review process currently underway.

  1. 58-0 is what happens when you have late nights out in Sydney’s Wentworth Avenue at the Hotel Harry (Buttler) pub. They are as daft as 😂🤣 DaftyD.U.C.K.WIT🦆🦆🦆

  2. Again the media would not hesitate to damage the credibility of a player, a club or the NRL To sell a fabricated story.
    Vultures.

  4. Some random punter claimed Milford said..”insert whatever sells a story here”
    I strongly doubt that Milford thought he was going to play the first 6pm Sunday game in living memory.
    Fabrications.

  5. Twentyone this is all a conspiracy to make South Sydney win their 22nd premiership.

    This is great news, JWH will be nice and fresh for the Grand Final after getting unfairly rubbed out for somthing so soft that a fine is the usual standard penalty, the Rooster plays 45min per game. With their fantastic depth. They can cover this Rooster for 45min with ease.

    Big Lindsay Collins has hit his straps and is making some big hits and huge runs.
    Last season Sydney won the Preliminary Final without Dylan Napa and Latrell Mitchell who both were suspended against South.
    Sydney also have Faamausuli who is a wrecking ball. Options galore for the World Champion Sydney Roosters and current Premiers.

    Best player to cover JWH is Lindsay Collins in my opinion. But lets give thanks…………
    Just a big thank you to the NRL judiciary for confirming Sydney have the assurances that JWH can’t pick up another charge and miss the grand final. Which therefore means JWH will bash the opposition stupid like he did to Souths soft forwads the last two weeks and he can do it in the big one. You little Beauty.😁👍

  6. Whatever happened to prescilla the drag queen nit_witt? I think she turned into DaftyD.U.C.K.WIT🦆🦆🦆🤣😆🤣😆🤣

  8. It is all a fabricated smokescreen to hide the inadequacies of the coach serving the 1st of his 5 year contract.

    South dodged a bullet with this guy
