Every single journo hitting Ezra with the "hard hitting" questions would have done something in their past that they wouldn't be proud of. I am not saying they drove on the wrong side of the road, unlicensed and under the influence.. but, they would have done something.
As if he wasn't prepared for those questions, you know he was. What a useless interview.

It would help get a few pesky sponsors off our books

It's time to take the stick off the fuckwits and hit them back with it.

He wasn't "under the influence" and being unlicenced was unrelated to the accident. Can we please quit with this contrived narrative that only serves to give the fuckwits ammunition to persecute him beyond his contrition?

I agree, I don't think it will get much further than an out of court settlement with nothing coming back on Ezra from the 3rd party side if it.
However, I have no clue how the insurance contract is worded.
It could be worded that having an illegal substance in your system will
leave you liable for the Ins company to recover losses which is a lessor test than being under the influence.
That argument , if there is one, will be between Ezra and the Ins company after they know any payouts.
Ins companies generally don't like paying out if they can worm out of it.
There was a story last week about a guy having his car stolen from his locked garage but not covered because his keys were in the car. If they had been on the kitchen bench or in the house he was covered, absolute BS , car gets stolen no matter what. Cops will tell you not to fight just give up the keys but never admit that in a police report you may not like the outcome.

I wasn’t going to watch it but started to. What germs, clearly stated a hundred times I’m not talking about it. Leads to more questions about it.

It's times like this, you wish you had tasers & players zapped them.
Can the club ban certain reporters.

I know former Broncos players who have had cars, and they had the option to take out their own car insurance, which they did because it was cheaper to do so. The other option they were given were basically the same as if you hire a car. CTP is included, but the excess is through the roof unless you pay a fee to reduce it, or the sponsor may have just taken out some kind of liability cover on behalf of Ezra for a fee as well. Could well be different now though, but a few years ago thats how it was working when the guys had Toyota's given to them.
The sponsor though will have more than likely had the car insured separately to all this at a guess to cover themselves more.

Especially if they had intel re his driving record .
Under 25 , I would reckon comprehensive is in order .

Say Hunt is killing it at 6 to the point we would be mad to move him, what position do you have Mam play?
It would obviously be on the Bench assuming no Injury's but from what I see a 2nd half Lock is the only option, he is too good to just be left out entirely, yes Mam misses alot of tackles but to be fair that is on the edge where each tackle is harder(because more space) and you have less backup, he has a good tackle technique and being in the middle is much easier to make your tackle it's just alot more concentrated work.

If I'm Mam, and the club is going that well, I'm playing #14 without a doubt. One ring is better than none - I'm sure Oates would've busted his left to play in the 2023 GF.

Can he be a Hooker though, that isn't as simple, we don't have any 80 min hookers to make the 14 anything other than Hooker cover atm, unless we do a switch with Hunt.

Didn't he say that he played some lock coming through... I know Selwyn mentions that he played in the forward, but thought Ezra might've said something about that too
