As the Broncos embark on their quest to stamp out a binge drinking culture, chief executive Bruno Cullen admits a city full of watchful footy fans will be happy to 'dob in a Bronco'.
The club this week revealed a 10-point action plan aimed at transforming their culture, including fines and suspensions for players who continue to misbehave on the drink.
While this could prove to be a tough policy to enforce, Cullen says he'll have "tens of thousands of stormtroopers" ready to lend a hand.
"All of Brisbane knows there is something going on and I can tell you half of Brisbane will be happy to report it," he told News Limited.
"They (the players) would be silly if they don't understand. I'd say we've got tens of thousands of stormtroopers out there.
"We've known this for ages and I think the players do too.
"I'm not talking about bad things now. But on any given Monday we'll have phone calls and emails or whatever about 'I saw so and so at such and such a place'."
Three Brisbane players are still under police investigation following sexual assault allegations. While it's not expected a decision on whether or not they'll be charged wil arrive until next month, the players involved are expected incur hefty fines from the club - regardless of the outcome.
But Cullen says suspension should stand as a stronger deterrent to players than fines.
"We tend to think suspensions are a stronger punishment, but there could be a combination," he said.
"In 2009 the players have a great opportunity to make a statement to the club that they've matured, they're responsible.
"We had allowed the players to take responsibility for their own actions but they've handed that back to us, unwittingly I suppose.
"It has been a matter of trust but we probably feel we have been let down in that area. They can take that responsibility back but it's not going to happen overnight."
