Neil Breen weighs in on Magic Round brawl, what ‘let everybody down’
One key detail of a brawl that broke out in the stands during Magic Round has let everyone down, Neil Breen says.
The incident, which occurred during the Broncos’ Friday night clash against Manly, saw three people evicted from the game and fined for disorderly conduct.
Another disgraceful act of violence at Suncorp Stadium. Totally unacceptable. Hope this doesn’t sour what should be an amazing #magicround but this is happening far too often recently and needs to stop #nrl @9NewsQueensland @9NewsAUS pic.twitter.com/pONGp1gDSH

But Neil says the fight wasn’t broken up fast enough, with some videos of the incident rolling for more than 90 seconds.
“It was just absolutely unbelievable, what went on,” he said.
“We’re all shocked that at an event like that, this brawl could last so long without security turning up. Where were they?
“It was unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable that could happen.
“A lapse in security has let everybody down.”
