Badel and Weidler both on it on Twitter. Integrity Unit investigating apparently.

Now we know why he hasn't been playing well.
Will he be known as Jimmy the Drunk.

Upon reading it, it doesn't sound that bad. Other than he was a massive douche and the bouncer was overly enthusiastic. But time will tell.

The blokes got a sick kid and not handling it well. Given his past alcohol related incidents it's easy to see how he went down that path when going through tough times. No excuse but easy to understand.

JAMES Roberts’ NRL career is in jeopardy after the Broncos centre has allegedly become embroiled in another drunken incident.
The NRL integrity unit has launched an investigation into allegations Roberts abused a female barmaid in a drunken rage at well-known Brisbane establishment The Normanby Hotel.
The Broncos are aware of the alleged alcohol-fuelled altercation and are in dialogue with the NRL integrity unit.
The alleged incident occurred around 9.20pm on Sunday, with Roberts reporting to Brisbane training the following morning just 12 hours later.
Well-placed sources claim a heavily-intoxicated Roberts was “in a mess” during a drinking session at the Normanby on Sunday, two days after Brisbane’s defeat of the Eels at Suncorp Stadium.
It’s been alleged that when Roberts was refused service, he verbally abused the female staffer, prompting Normanby security guards to intervene.
Witnesses said a security guard applied a choker hold to restrain Roberts, who fell into unconsciousness. An ambulance was called to the venue as security guards attempted to resuscitate him.
It’s understood the Broncos centre woke up as the ambulance arrived and that he declined to be treated by paramedics. He then left the pub and hailed a cab.
Roberts trained with the Broncos this morning and is set to take his place in the centres against Canterbury tomorrow, although he may yet be stood down pending a full NRL investigation.
An NRL spokesman today confirmed the Broncos advised the integrity unit of the matter yesterday.
“Investigations are continuing,” the spokesman said.
It is understood police were not called to the scene, although Roberts could face NRL sanctions given his chequered history.
The 23-year-old, who recently became a father, has twice been sacked by NRL clubs.
In 2012, Roberts was shown the door by Souths for smashing a taxi window. Two years later, he was released by Penrith after another off-field misdemeanour.
Roberts was controversially signed by Broncos coach Wayne Bennett in December after his contract forgery saga at the Titans.
Brisbane’s welfare officer is aware of the incident and has been working with Roberts, whose form has been inconsistent this season.

IMO: The bouncer should be sacked, those choker holds can kill.

Whoever wrote that should be sacked as well. I seriously doubt he needed resuscitation.

Why do high profile people still go to this absolute cesspool? The best thing that can happen to that place is they accidentally bulldoze it, and try again.

Storm in a teacup. He got drunk and yelled at a barmaid. Who cares? That will happen every single night.
It's only the overzealous bouncer that made this into a story. Unless it comes out that Roberts was actually violent, the bouncer should be sacked.

umm
You do know resuscitation, means
To resuscitate is to revive a person who has lost consciousness.
to bring (someone who is unconscious, not breathing, or close to death) back to a conscious or active state again.

I went there on a Sunday night about 5 years ago and it was way too crowded to be enjoyable. It took a solid 20 minutes in line to get a drink....Maybe that's what Jimmy was yelling about.
