Broncos' Gehamat Shibasaki regrets alcohol breach, vows to avoid similar mistakes after near-miss season.
Broncos star Gehamat Shibasaki has broken his silence on his boozy bender, admitting he feared he had blown his season after breaching Brisbane's pact to swear off alcohol in pursuit of a premiership.
In a heartfelt interview with this masthead, Shibasaki vowed he would "never again" make the same foolish mistake after his outstanding season almost went up in flames with a night of regret on the drink.
The Queensland Origin centre was dropped for Brisbane's final-round game against the Storm after turning up to training worse for wear after a boozy night out following the Broncos' defeat of the Cowboys in Townsville.
Shibasaki was recalled for last Sunday's epic 29-28 finals win over the Raiders, but concedes he wondered if he would be black-listed for the finals after the worst judgment call of his NRL career.
