The Broncos<\/a> are looking into whether they can sack Anthony Milford<\/a> as he faces assault charges, Nine's Emma Lawrence has reported.<\/p>\n

Milford was charged with three counts of assault occasioning bodily harm and one count of wilful damage, after he was arrested at 2am today following reports of a disturbance in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley.<\/p>\n

While Milford is set to officially leave the Broncos to join the Rabbitohs on November 1<\/a>, Lawrence reported Brisbane could end his contract early to save a significant amount of money.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

"Only a month remaining on his contract, but essentially that will cost Milford $100,000," Lawrence said on Sydney's Nine News.<\/p>\n

"Now, in terms of the NRL integrity unit<\/a>, they are looking into it. This does not come under the automatic stand-down policy because the maximum (possible jail term) is under 11 years, but the NRL<\/a> can still use their discretion if they want to eventually stand him down."<\/p>\n

Lawrence also revealed South Sydney's stance on the matter.<\/p>\n

"As for his new club, the Bunnies, they've said they're just going to wait to see how it all plays out with the integrity unit," Lawrence said.<\/p>\n

"So really there's a lot to play out.<\/p>\n

"Not the news we needed just two weeks out from the grand final."<\/p>\n
