Message: [QUOTE="Super Freak, post: 2760883, member: 8536"] THE NRL integrity unit will ask for a free preview of footage allegedly showing a Broncos player taking cocaine, which has been shopped around for $70,000. The NRL’s first steps would be to contact media organisations sounded out to buy the images and then the third party who made the offer on behalf of the filmer. “The integrity unit will make inquiries about where we can obtain the film,’’ an NRL spokesman said. “We got media inquiries on it and the Broncos said they had looked into the matter and there was no need to take it any further. “Now we are more aware of it, we will certainly ask as part of a normal investigation if we can see it and make our own inquiries. ‘‘It’s dependent on whether the person is willing to hand over the tape. “It obviously appears they are trying to get some money. ‘‘We won’t be (paying).’’ [URL="http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/teams/broncos/brisbane-broncos-targets-in-alleged-cocaine-extortion-bid/news-story/60c503a0b200c02853ba01bfd99100e8"]The incident is said to have happened in Sydney after Brisbane lost 40-14 to Canterbury at ANZ Stadium on June 25. [/URL] The Broncos said they became aware of the allegations against one of their players in the middle of last week and club management informed the NRL. “If we can’t see it (the images) we will have to go on what evidence is around, the player’s evidence and the club’s evidence,’’ the NRL spokesman said. As the matter is alleged to have happened in Sydney, any further investigation would be up to NSW police, who last night refused to comment to [I]The Courier-Mail[/I]. Former Broncos premiership winner Kerrod Walters said that while he felt the behaviour of league players was collectively at a high standard, he had no sympathy for any player who allowed themselves to be filmed using drugs. “When they sign a half a million-a-year contract they know what is required so I don’t have sympathy for people who break those rules. “The game has moved forward in leaps and bounds since I played (in the 1990s) and generally the behaviour of the players is very good.’’ Former Maroons star Walters admitted social media scrutiny was a challenge for today’s sportsmen but one they should be prepared for.
