The Broncos have plunged into crisis following explosive revelations six Brisbane players left the team hotel to play poker machines on the eve of their embarrassing 58-0 finals loss to Parramatta.
The Broncos have confirmed the incident and have launched an investigation into the matter.
It can be revealed Broncos stars Anthony Milford, Corey Oates, Matt Gillett, Payne Haas, David Fifita and Andrew McCullough attended a Sydney pub to play pokies just 24 hours before the club’s biggest game of the season.

Eyewitnesses have confirmed the six players attended Harpoon and Hotel Harry in Surry Hills on Saturday night, just a short 350-metre walk from Pullman Sydney Hyde Park hotel where the Broncos were staying.
The six players left the team hotel to gamble without the knowledge of Broncos management, including coach Anthony Seibold.
Broncos bosses only learned of the matter on Tuesday after being informed by a media outlet.
The development will rock the Broncos and represents a terrible look for the playing group, who subsequently lost 58-0 to the Eels to record the biggest loss in Brisbane’s proud 31-year history.
Most of the group left by 11.30pm. One player stayed behind on his own and continued to play the pokies before leaving the establishment just after midnight.
(so not an all nighter , but still)
