The big Bronco pokie gamble

[Chip and Chase]

Depends who their room mate was.

Are you suggesting some may have had a very close up view of their pillows instead of the ceiling ?

WTF ..... unless they were all explicitly banned from leaving the hotel ..... what have they done wrong ....they were'nt playing at 8am in the morning ....

Oh Woodsie...they weren't banned from leaving their hotel rooms. They were simply behaving like loads of blokes their age - banging the machines.....

 

[bazeagle]

Siebold has lost the dressingroom ...

Based on?

Whilst I’m enjoying the “ beat up “ it’s seriously a joke to expect young men , away from home , who have completed their sponsor duties , team dinner and team meeting to at 8.30pm have to all go to bed quietly like you are expected to do when you’re 10.

The fact that a bunch of them decided to blow a few $$$ on the pokies ( could have been sitting at a TAB betting on the trots ) and being hauled over the coals for it is utter bull****.

But what about the children?

Do non league playing 23 year olds seriously play poker machines??? I highly doubt it

Just bored and filling in a few hours, as I say could have been at the TAB.

Who cares if they where playing the pokies or uno. They are not 15 year old boys and not on the beers. I’m sure this happens all the time plus a lot worse. If they won would this even be looked at as a storey?

 

[jbb/james]

Just wait people. I know there is more to this story that will break and it will be GOLD. Allegedly 2 of the players were seen eating pizza and not waiting 30 minutes before going for a swim.

kids are turning there backs in droves

 

[DUFFMAN]

I thought Buzz would of broken this story being at Surry Hills but being after 8pm he would of been three parts pissed and not of noticed the players.

I think this is a nothing story, even if they had a couple of beers while playing the pokies. They weren’t drunk or carry on like pork chops, plenty of time to get a good night’s sleep still.
The media carry on like they are saints where in reality they are probably one of the worst professions for misbehaving.

Seriously? The only people I see when I walk past the tab are over 50.

With Seibold the donkeys did take a gamble.

Not a bad spot the 'poon

I believe William Shakespeare penned a play about this very scenario...

Love a good Donkey bash.

But come on, what a NOTHING story this is.

All I can say is, the players of the 80's and 90's are extremely lucky both social media and mobile phones were not around.

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)

This is hilarious living in Brisbane and listening to the hype. Normally they can do no wrong.

Yes it's a beat up....but what if it was Manly that had gone out in that fashion and then we learned that they were out the night before. There are plenty on this thread that would be calling for heads to roll.
Fortunately it wasn't so LOL at the donkeys

 

[Go manly]

The real story will be about the ones who were not there

Seems a bit strange that a third if the squad went out and two thirds didn’t

I bet that sneaky DCE was involved in this somehow

Bloody trouble maker

The Lamentable Tragedy of Titus Andronicus?

Titus Andronicus trumps Much Ado About Nothing... you win. Titus is Anthony Griffin... Saturninas is Darius Boyd, and Bassianus is Anthony Gillet.
