PLAYER Ezra Mam

Kempy has been going a bit harder on our lads of late. He’s certainly copped so much hate for being a broncos fan so now he’s over correcting a bit like what has happened to Corey Parker at times.
Conforming to the Sydney circle jerk to keep the views and clicks... weak as piss
 
I was in favour of sacking him to start with, but that was only because Hunt was still on the market. Now we've got him anyway, I hope Ezra gets 0 weeks.

I guarantee if he played for any other team, this would barely have made the news.

Yep, basically it would be Sandon Smith or Trindall, both barely got mentioned.
 
It's also frankly really expensive to jail people. So there's a counter force at work also - by imposing mandatory minimums, you swell the jail population which costs the government money - at a rough cost of $422 per prisoner per day.

Further, there are also cases where people have mitigating circumstances, or the punishment doesn't really fit - but with no discretion in sentencing, can result in unduly harsh scenarios - like mandatory minimums for theft and a kid steals a pencil because he's from a dirt poor family and needs one for school.

As far as drugs go - https://www.acic.gov.au/sites/default/files/2023-03/NWDMP Report 18_1.PDF A lot of people don't realise how prevalent drug use is within our community. If police got very serious and pulled a sudden citywide blitz on many major roads at peak hour on a work day, you'd be dealing with thousands or potentially tens of thousands of detections.

People get really bent out of shape about the weirdest stuff. Society has a drug problem, it's not just Ezra.
Then don’t go claiming you’re being “tough on crime” because it isn‘t “tough” to suspend a sentence or not even give one. My personal favourite is being sentence to the “ rising of the court”. Where the punishment is that the crook literally has to stay in court, unless the judge / magistrate leaves… 🤷‍♂️

As a society we have chosen to limit ourselves to one main deterrent these days and it is jail.

And have forgotten that it isn’t a deterrent when your SRO’s never go there or never for long…

There are always sentencing mitigating circumstances, which is why I am personally a fan of the three strikes and you’re out policy.

Give them the chance, give them the education opportunities and ll the rehabilitation the “experts” can make believe works.

And when all that fails for the third time, in goes the mandatory sentencing provisions.
 
To be fair half of the votes on BHQ were in favor of sacking Mam
I was in favour of it because I didn't know how soft the laws were on what he did, I have had a bigger fine for speeding where only me no one else was involved and I was clean.

Same length of license suspension too, for what was probably 3 seconds of throttle at the exact wrong time, but apparently going on the other side of the road and hitting a car with drugs in your system(even if it didn't effect you) is apparently not as bad and I had a valid licence.
 
Another click bait story on Ezras driving history today.
He does have a bit of traffic offence history and people could argue he doesn't like complying with the traffic laws.
Certainly a slow learner at best.
Disgraceful the way they are going after Ezra by drip feeding stories every day.
Hypocrites will be running stories on bullying next week , Don't see a lot of difference in the way thet have gone about this.
 
Braydon Trindall tested positive for recreational drugs, was over double the legal limit for blood alcohol, and was driving without a license. He copped a 5 week NRL suspension.

Josh Addo-Carr got 2 weeks NRL suspension after being caught driving under the influence of cocaine, all the while denying he took any cocaine.

Calls for Mam to get anything more than Trindall are completely inequitable, and people saying a year suspension, I mean come on, it might be time to drug test them.

Where was the media outrage when Trindall got 5 weeks? Where was it when JAC got 2? Silent. Nothing but crickets. What's the difference?

Bear in mind Dylan Brown got a 7 week suspension after receiving a criminal conviction for sexually touching a woman in a nightclub. It's time to get real people. Anything more than Brown's 7 weeks and the Broncos should take the NRL to court.

Trindall was also sat out by the Sharks for five games and the NRL took that into account. Between the two his suspension was 10 weeks.

JAC was four weeks and fined him $15,000 and terminated by the Bulldogs.

When exactly did Trindall serve this 10 game suspension?

His roadside test was April 22 and he had played the day before in round 7.

His court appearance was May 28 and he then played in round 13 two days later... so he missed 5 games.

So when exactly was this sharks appointed suspension, because it looks like his suspension lined up exactly between when he was caught and when he was charged in court.

I mean it’s dumb but he fits in with a shit ton of society when it comes to these sort of issues.
