WESTS Tigers rugby league forward Bryce Gibbs is expected to continue playing despite being charged with five offences following a fracas with police and security staff at Rosehill Gardens racecourse on Saturday.
Gibbs was arrested after allegedly spitting in the face of a police sergeant and attempting to head butt another officer at the Golden Slipper meeting.
Gibbs was charged with failing to quit a licensed premises, assaulting police, resisting arrest, malicious damage and hindering police. He was bailed to appear in Parramatta Local Court on May 2.
In July 2005, Gibbs was charged with assault and evading a taxi fare after a drinking session with teammates in Sydney's lower north shore. He was acquitted of those charges.
Tigers officials met yesterday to discuss Gibbs's position.
