The Broncos have released a statement on James Roberts after a photo of him getting carried out of a nightclub circulated on social media.

"Roberts informed the club that he had too many drinks on the Friday night after the loss to the Dragons, at a private party at a home in Brisbane," the statement on the club website read.

"Roberts apologised for drinking to excess and said he remained committed to work through his ongoing rehabilitation."

Brisbane coach Anthony Seibold spoke about how disappointed he was given Roberts had recently aggravated an Achilles injury.

“I’ve spoken to Jimmy about avoiding situations where he isn’t in control,” Seibold told the club website.

“He understands, and as a club we will continue to work through things with him.”

Broncos CEO Paul White said the club had full support of Roberts.

“James’ journey to this point has been well-documented and he has made huge strides in recent years,” White told the club website.

“This is a small blip on on that journey, but we have all made poor decisions at times, and the club will continue to support James as we move forward.”
