PLAYER Ezra Mam

[I bleed Maroon]

That's that, then. 360 will have their customary whinge when they return to air then lets hope that is the last we hear about it.

 

[Fitzy]

Gee whiz you wouldn’t be in a hurry to do another bag would you. At least you would want to hope not.

 

[vertigo]

This thread would have been better/closed if we just shit canned him two months ago like we should have.

People defending him are fucking cooked…

He was good for about 10 games two years ago, we’re paying him marquee money and he’s going to implode… terrible business decisions on this bloke

Yep. **** him off if he serves up the same shit next season.

We're here win win comps not carry basket cases.

 

[Bucking Beads]

can we shut this thread and only talk about Ezra’s football now. We all need to move on from this disaster

A definite worry of mine too. If he had a genuine drug problem then he should have stayed in rehab much longer. Hopefully he didn't and only went in there for show. If he was some kind of addict then chances of relapse are quite high.

 

[Wolfie]

Fair play to the Broncos here. They have come down pretty hard on him.

These types of blokes are doing likes every weekend. It’s like coffee for them.

All I’m seeing is how it’s a disgrace and he needed more punishment

 

[BroncsFan]

Broncos have fined Ezra additional $90,000.

Any of it been suspended??

Most fines nowadays have been suspended fines so if this one isn't then it will go down as one of the biggest in recent times.

9 weeks and $90k... and Shitney will still be blowing up.

Trindall laughing his ass off that he plays for a nothing team in the shire that no one gives a shit about.

 

[broncsgoat]

10% of an inflated salary is not a punishment. $810k is still more than anyone else would pay the bloke

 

[theshed]

Does the 90k go back on our cap?

 

[Foordy]

well handled by the club IMO.

I particularly like that the club have added the following as part of their sanctions:

• A Safer Driving Training Program;
• Ongoing work or study placement, to be designed by the Club’s Wellbeing and Education department;
• An ongoing Wellbeing Support Program, to be designed by the Club’s Wellbeing and Education department

The NRL's suspension is BS ... but only because of how heavy handed when you compare it to other players who have committed similar offences.

while much has already been made of the Trindall and JAC cases.

there was also the Val Holmes, Munster and Latrell Mitchell examples of bringing the game into disrepute by allowing themselves to be photographed with a "white powder"

Brent Naden tested positive to cocaine during a ASADA test after the 2020 GF and only got a 5k fine and 4 weeks

finally, there Dylan Brown who was given a lighter punishment than Mam after pleading guilty to two counts of sexually touching the woman without consent (he was originally charged with 5 counts but 3 were withdrawn by police)

that is just a few of the people who have committed similar or worse offences than Mam only to receive lighter NRL punishments.

Now that the media have their pound of flesh and they outcome they wanted, hopefully they will leave well enough alone and start focusing on the upcoming footy season ... I'm not holding my breath though

 

[Foordy]

Michael Carayannis in the Courier Mail is saying Mam has actually been hit with a $120k fine.

$30K from the NRL and $90k from the club

Still getting overs at $780k

 

[ningnangnong]

Think of how many Ubers he could've caught with $120k.

Expensive lesson.

Well he still caught 1 at least.

Catching one is > running into one

No and it wouldn't matter because it's well below the minimum wage anyway
