His kick at the end was the most obvious blunder last night but something that bothered me was when he got chipped over, he just lazily turned and tried to half has body check a kick chaser. It wasn’t until he saw Kini was going to beat Walsh to the ball that he started running which was obviously way too late.

Just lazy

Whats worse was the massive overlap we still had to utilise and we still had tackles in hand. The play he went with was it had to absolutely pay off then(very very low odds) or they put it to rest and kill time. I don't think that cost us the game as we shouldn't have been in that situation in the first place. But that decision making certainly doesn't help.

Ah ,,, so now we are resorting to absurdity , again ?

Like I said when did you get your PHd in physics with a side line of automotive engineering and crash testing ?
Because with out that kind of knowledge you are just making shit up .

There - that is the end of the conversation .

Mam himself admitted it. Suck it up del. The magistrate also stated it.


Brisbane Broncos playmaker Ezra Mam pleaded guilty to a serious, drug-fueled head-on crash in October 2024, where he drove unlicensed while under the influence of cocaine and other substances, hospitalizing three people. At sentencing, the magistrate famously told Mam he was incredibly fortunate no one was killed.[1, 2]
The Incident & Court Case
  • The Crash: On October 18, 2024, Mam drove his Ford Ranger onto the wrong side of the road in Bardon, Brisbane, colliding head-on with an Uber carrying an adult and a 4-year-old child. Three people were hospitalized, with the young girl suffering a fractured hip. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • The Charges: Mam was driving with a suspended license. Blood tests revealed a combination of cocaine and other substances in his system. [1, 2]
  • The Sentence: In December 2024, the Brisbane Magistrates Court convicted him of driving without a license and driving with drugs in his system. He avoided a criminal conviction but received an $850 fine and a six-month license disqualification. [1, 2]
Reactions & Disciplinary Actions
  • The Magistrate: Magistrate Mark Nolan heavily criticized Mam’s "stupid decision," explicitly stating that both he and the innocent parties involved could have been injured or killed. [1]
  • NRL and Club Sanctions: The NRL handed Mam a nine-match ban alongside a $30,000 fine, while the Brisbane Broncos fined him an additional $90,000. [1, 2]
  • Public and Fan Response: Community feedback has been largely critical of the sentence, with ongoing debates across forums on whether the judiciary and the NRL dealt with the incident too leniently compared to penalties for other athletes. [1, 2]
His Response & Apologies
  • Public Remorse: In his first interviews, Mam acknowledged the gravity of his actions, admitting that he could have taken innocent lives and stating that he reminds himself daily of the near-tragedy. [1, 2]
  • Rebuilding: Mam worked unpaid at a construction site in Brisbane during his rehab and suspension, expressing gratitude to the Broncos for allowing him to stay at the club. [1, 2]


Brisbane Broncos player Ezra Mam pleaded guilty and took responsibility for his actions following a head-on, drug-fueled car crash in October in inner-west Brisbane. The magistrate and media heavily criticized his actions, and Mam publicly acknowledged he made a "stupid decision" that could have injured or killed innocent lives. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The Incident & Court Outcomes:
  • The Crash: Mam veered onto the wrong side of the road in Brisbane's west, crashing his Ford Ranger head-on into an Uber carrying a mother and her 4-year-old daughter. Three people were hospitalized, including the young girl who suffered a fractured hip. [1, 2, 3]
  • The Charges: Mam pleaded guilty to driving without a license (his license was already suspended) and driving with a cocktail of drugs—including cocaine—in his blood. [1, 2]
  • Sentencing: The magistrate slammed his "stupid decision" but spared Mam a criminal conviction. He was fined $850 and his license was suspended for six months. [1, 2]
Penalties & Repercussions:
  • NRL & Club Sanctions: Mam received a nine-game suspension and had to pay hefty fines, including a $30,000 fine to the NRL and $90,000 to the Broncos. [1, 2, 3]
  • Public Response: On Facebook, there is a consensus among users that the court sentence was too lenient, with many feeling the punishment did not fit the severity of the offense. [1, 2]
Mam's Public Remarks:
  • Remorse: Mam later broke his silence in a public interview, expressing sincere remorse and stating that he reminds himself daily of his mistakes and the danger he put others in.
  • Reintegration: Following the suspension and mandatory rehabilitation, he returned to competitive play.[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
