The Ergon Energy Brisbane Broncos have today contacted Brisbane Police with a view to carrying out a thorough investigation into an alleged incident in Brisbane last night, supposedly involving one of its players.

The club has been made aware of this allegation by a third party, and Broncos managing director Bruno Cullen has vowed to examine all reports in respect of player behaviour.

?No formal complaint has been forthcoming, and because of that fact the club is alarmed to have been made aware of this accusation today,? Mr Cullen said.

?However, we will be thoroughly examining all information received before any further statement is made by the club. No-one should doubt the commitment of the Broncos in areas of player behaviour. The club is also very aware of its responsibility to maintain fair procedures for all parties.?

Just on channel nine:

The alleged incident involved a member of the broncos squad punching a female in the face at the Regatta hotel :curse:

God help the player if this alleged incident occured. He wont be playing in this town again.

[Titanium_BD1103]

Not again.... I am not saying anything until its proven...

[Darren Lockyer]

Nothing much to worry about

[Social Loafer]

:noidea:

Just what the game needs, more media attention like this...

[Steelers]

Well it is along the same lines as what happened with the former Cronulla Sharks player (name?). A precedent has been set, and if this allegation is proven, then the NRL must act accordingly.

[Coaster]

Nobody knows whats going on atm, would be a good idea not to guess

Well he can his career goodbye and the broncos fans should be greatfull it wasnt a big name player

[[BroncosGirl]]

Yeah well we're letting him go, hes not a happy camper atm, but thats a low thing to do IF he did it.
However, its hard to think Seymour would do something like this, its just a rumour atm, lets just wait and see.

[Grimmace]

I dont know why but seymour gives me a scott prince vibe if it is not him i feel sorry for him but yaknow since hes not happy atm it could just be the media playing on it but if he did do it hell end up playing the rest of his career in england but the nrl might find it hard to deregister the player if there was no offical complaint made against them

[Darren Lockyer]

Well if it is Seymour it's ok because we have Shane Perry and Brent Mconnel next year.

I think the broncos havent even offered perry a contract but they said they wanted to sign every one else before perry so chances are perry might not b at the club next year but yeah theres allways mconnel

[Darren Lockyer]

I think Perry won't stay then if Mconnel is coming

[Grimmace]

Well Itll be interesting Because players from Redcliffe can be dual registered with the dolphins and the broncos so wether or not the dolphins become brisbanes feeder club next year or not will be interesting because nothings been mentioned about perry for next year
