Kevin Walters insists an NRL investigation into the drunken behaviour of centre Kotoni Staggs will not deter Brisbane's bid to re-sign the off-contract centre.
The NRL has confirmed its integrity unit is investigating the 22-year-old for an alleged alcohol-fuelled altercation in Brisbane earlier this month.
It follows a complaint from another patron at the venue at the time.
"The integrity unit is liaising with the Brisbane Broncos," an NRL statement said.
It adds to the rap sheet of the boom young centre, which could be a factor if the NRL determines he has a case to answer.
Earlier this year he copped a $10,000 fine and was forced to undergo an education course for using a homophobic slur to a fan who asked for an autograph.
He was also embroiled in a revenge porn incident last year in which the woman was fined by a Brisbane court for distributing prohibited visual recording.
Walters said the club became aware of the latest incident a few days ago, which comes while Staggs is sidelined for a knee reconstruction.
"We're aware of the situation with the NRL integrity unit and we will leave it in their safe hands," Walters said.
"I won't make any more comment than that, we are certainly aware of the situation and that it is being investigated by the NRL.
"We are up here to play against the Eels, Kotoni is not here but we are supporting him, like we would all our players in this situation."
It comes as Staggs was involved in big-money talks with Gold Coast to join the club next season, while he still has a player option in his favour to stay at the Broncos.
The Titans have reportedly pulled their multi-million dollar offer for the centre, leaving the Broncos in the box-seat to re-sign him.
And despite the latest drama, Walters said he would have no hesitation in doing so.
"It won't affect anything going forward," he said.
"I expect (movement on the deal) in the next week or two.
"It is a big decision for Kotoni and the Broncos as well as whether he stays or goes but I'm very confident we will hang on to Kotoni, I can see him wearing a Broncos jersey next year."
