[QUOTE="Pushkin, post: 2793778, member: 9011"] The 23-year-old was also sacked from two of his previous clubs, Penrith and South Sydney for poor behaviour, also involving alcohol. This latest incident could now mean the end for Roberts in Brisbane. Last year league bosses signalled that the centre was on his last warning, rugby league insider Ben “Dobbo” Dobbin revealed this on Tuesday’s Triple M Brisbane’s Marto and Ed Kavalee for Breakfast program. “They (the NRL integrity unit) came out last year after the alleged allegations took place at the Normanby and said, ‘That is it for James Roberts.’ They will not be giving him another chance,” Dobson said. “I spoke to (NRL head of media and communications) Peter Grimshaw this morning about this and what he said was, ‘We are not going to do anything at the moment, because this is only alleged,’ and there’s been no complaint lodged as yet.” Host Greg “Marto” Martin slammed the club’s handling of the player, saying it was time those responsible for the Broncos star ensured he toed the line. “It’s quite obvious he doesn’t just need to go to Thai rehab. He needs someone to say, ‘No, don’t go to those joints at all — you’re married with a young kid, mate,’” Martin said. “Isn’t there a welfare officer at the Broncos? Isn’t there somebody that should check on James Roberts? Check his social calendar and go, ‘Who the hell thought it would be a great idea to go to the Magic Millions and get full of woombla?’” “Who then thought it would be a great idea for Jimmy (Roberts) to go to a Surfers Paradise nightclub?” But, according to Dobson, Roberts has found a way to elude club minders even when they’ve been tasked with keeping a close eye on the centre, revealing that’s what occurred during the incident of the Normanby hotel last season. “He’s caused massive headaches for them (the Broncos). They are working overtime with him. The welfare officer was there. One of them was with him when the Normanby incident occurred,” Dobson said. “He (the welfare officer) thought they were both going home and he (Roberts) went back in there.” “It’s the classic you go in the first cab, we’ll get in the next one,” co-host Ed Kavalee chimed in. “It’s the oldest trick in the book."
