The National Rugby League (NRL) and the Brisbane Broncos do not comment on the club’s decision to invite Ben Roberts-Smith into the Broncos’ dressing sheds after their match against the St George Illawarra Dragons on Sunday. Multiple outlets report that the Broncos decline to provide any response about the invitation. The former soldier, who is facing war crimes charges, is described in the reporting as the subject of the invite. The coverage is focused on the lack of official comment from the Broncos and the league regarding the circumstances of how and why he was allowed into the team environment. Across the sources, there is no shared confirmation of whether the invitation was sanctioned by the NRL, who made the decision within the club, or what Roberts-Smith’s connection to the match-day activities was beyond being invited to the sheds. The outlets uniformly highlight the club’s refusal to comment and the absence of additional details from the NRL or other official representatives.
