I'm just waiting for the inevitable moron down south to be caught drunk and drugged up behind the wheel, but all... "well this is different because the coppers got him before he got into a crash"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guilty to two counts of sexually touching the woman without consent (he was originally charged with 5 counts but 3 were withdrawn by police)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
It'll probably happen before the season starts up knowing the level of stupidity that is the modern league player.
