Brisbane will investigate an alleged drunken fight between Payne Haas and Albert Kelly after an expletive-laden video was released on social media.
Already reeling from two straight defeats, the Broncos were plunged into further drama on Sunday night when footage showed the pair engaged in a tussle.
Haas can be heard calling Kelly a f*** c***, while also holding his hand to his throat and appearing to deliver a left-handed punch to Kelly’s head.
The big-money Broncos prop also appears to shove the playmaker’s face with his right hand, while slurred voices can be heard.
It is unclear when the video was taken, with Kelly not appearing to show signs of the foot injury he suffered in Saturday’s loss to the Warriors.
AAP has been told that the Broncos are aware of the issue and have advised the NRL’s integrity unit of the matter.
It is far from the first time Haas has landed himself in trouble at the club.
The 22-year-old was last year handed a good behaviour bond over an altercation with police in Tweed Heads, where he was accused of intimidating a female officer.
He was fined $50,000 by the NRL and suspended for three matches.
It came after the NSW State of Origin prop was also suspended for four games at the start of 2019 for failing to cooperate with an NRL integrity unit investigation.
The incident is also not the first clash between current Broncos players after Jordan Riki and Tom Flegler were engaged in bust-up at the end of last season.

The thing that really matters is were there any animals hurt in the filming of this video .

He might have thought this was his last chance. He's out for a few months and probably won't see the 1st grade team again by his performance of late.

And both incidents were little more than a woke poke at the tossa- kars. On your bike Haas and a bit of rehab for Kelly.

Kelly has form on the drink, heard of a few unsavoury incidents while he was playing Super League in the UK.

So either Kelly was out (hard) on the drink while injured. Or its an old video and while all players aren't best mates, it looks like Haas and Kelly really don't like each other. Either way the Broncos have a bit of a problem.

I think the Broncs released this in an attempt to bring down Haase's negotiating power & value. Kelly is out now so win-win! :silly: I like the strategy... very bold!

Looks like the crime of the century to me. This will be front page news all over the world in a couple of hours.
