BRISBANE centre James Roberts will fight his contrary conduct charge at the judiciary this week.

Broncos forward Sam Thaiday admits he has no idea how Roberts will fare after the NRL judiciary’s “funny year”.

Roberts will miss Friday’s semi-final against North Queensland if he enters an early plea after being charged for kicking Gold Coast forward Ryan Simpkins in the Broncos’ qualifying final win over Gold Coast.

Asked on Monday if Roberts could beat the charge, Thaiday said: “Who knows with the judiciary system? It has been a funny year.”
