When Rugby League Players (Allegedly) Go Bad: Brisbane Broncos Edition

News has emerged that a number of players from the Brisbane Broncos are being investigated over a sexual assault of a woman in the toilet of a nightclub on Saturday night.

Three Brisbane Broncos rugby league footballers are under investigation over an alleged sexual assault at a Brisbane nightclub on Saturday night.

A woman was last night formally interviewed by Queensland police over allegations she was sexually assaulted in the toilets of the Alhambra Lounge, in inner-city Fortitude Valley, The Australian reports.

It is expected the players and witnesses at the nightclub will be interviewed later today by police.

Apparently the team’s captain has already had to warn players about their behaviour when they’re out on the town and hitting the piss:

Captain Darren Lockyer addressed the team less than a month ago about some of the players’ off-field behaviour, pleading with them to curb their drinking during the finals’ series.

Well, if the allegations are true, it looks like the pep talk did nothing.

Let’s just all sit tight and wait for the police to interview the players, and see what comes from those conversations. After the glassing of a player’s girlfriend a little while back, it’d be nice to have a break from league players acting violently toward women, wouldn’t it?
