Broncos duo to face internal discipline after police caution
April 27, 2009
Two Brisbane Broncos players face disciplinary action after they were cautioned by police about their behaviour in Byron Bay in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The Broncos would not name the players but confirmed police had been involved.
One player is alleged to have kicked a car and the other is alleged to have urinated on a wall.
In a club statement, Broncos chief executive Bruno Cullen said while the players complied with police directions and were neither detained nor charged for any actions, the matter wouldn’t end there.
"We were advised very early this morning that there may have been occasion for police to talk to two of our players over the weekend," Cullen said.
"I immediately began enquiries, and that involved speaking to the two players involved and the superintendant in charge of policing that district.
"He confirmed two players were spoken to on Saturday night and that they were co-operative, apologetic and remorseful.
"However we are extremely disappointed that the players put themselves in that situation. We are constantly reminding the players about acceptable levels of behaviour and the dangers of socialising, especially in unfamiliar territory.
"Therefore we will be dealing with the matter internally by disciplining the players involved.
"Once again, we are reminding players and representatives of the club not to put themselves in these types of situations."
