Madge confirms Mam not getting the boot

[Nashy]

Sure, because nobody died.

On what we know, someone could have easily died. Which is why he got lucky, which I alluded to.

"If any person in the community did this, you'd expect to see them locked up"

Very, very few people would expect this.

 

[Super Freak]

No way would anyone would get jail time for this.

Not for a first time offence either. In reality they would be disqualified from driving for about 6 months and pay a $1000+ fine.

QLD laws are quite lenient.

He doesn't even have a license. Disqualified from driving, that will teach him. They're gonna get him real good they are.

I think personally the last thing we should be worrying about with Ezra is where he ends up. We cant worry he might join another club and do well. We have to make the decision thats right for the Broncos and the standards we want to set. We bottled big decisions imo with 2 of our so called better players and their behaviour and then we complain our culture may not be right. Make the decision that sends out a message to everyone about what we expect when you sign on to be a Bronco.

I would also add, while its took him way too long imo, fair play to Ezra for now owning what he did and his actions. If he wants help, and needs help, even if we terminate him i hope we still give him some support.

Not sure how things work but he may have been advised to not say anything until charges were laid.

Maybe, but i'm pretty sure he would have known he was up shit creek. You dont check yourself into rehab if you didnt do anything wrong.

If you stuff up, just own it. I dont think delaying the inevitable would have made much difference.

Could have been something to do with legal reasons, I'm sure someone would know how that stuff works.
I heard not long after it happened Ezra wanted to reach out to those involved but wasn't allowed too.

I cant see any legal reason personally, unless he was initially planning to plead his innocence. Thats the only reason i can see why he didnt either reach out or come out and say he stuffed up and he was going to fix things as best he can.

Maybe he was hoping the drug test came back negative, although after going into rehab i think we all knew the outcome.

Isn't it usually the risk of admitting guilt?

He didn't know what he was going to be charged with... it seems like his statement came out almost straight after the charges were released suggesting he will probably plead guilty and the lawyers will be sorting out a deal.

I would have checked myself intorehab, so the vulture media did harass me.

I am shocked one of them didn't book into the same rehab facility & take photos.

Holy could-have, Batman.

It was one of hundreds of car accidents that happened that day.

He could go to jail (if he prefers not to pay the fine).

Could ask for unpaid community services.

 

[The True King]

I think you'll find the majority of people finding some way to defend this are doing so because they're scared to their very core of him lining up in a Roosters jersey.

If any person in the community did this, you'd expect to see them locked up. There are only 2 things saving Ezra here, firstly nobody died and secondly he has ties with probably the richest sporting brand in Australia. He will be represented by the very best.

So the thing that saved him is the thing that didn't happen.

I wouldn't expect anyone in the community locked up for what he did. Just exceptionally dumb and lucky, in equal measure.

Mam would have likely been advised to to reach out personally.

This was always headed towards legal action both civilly and criminally. under those circumstances, even a first year law student would advise him not to contact the other parties

Yeah there were so many where the guy was unlicensed, off his head and driving on the opposite side of the road, oh so many.

Agreed, we'll just wait until he kills someone next time.

Well, i'll defer to my wife who is a clinical nurse. From what she tells me, if the bone is separated or fractured in more than one place , they treat it as a break. If its still together and reletivley minor, they treat it as a fracture even though if you want to be technical, a fracture is a break. But again, its not a one size fits all thing. Too many variables in this to actually say how minor or major the injury is.

She did say though she wouldnt have left hospital the next day if her hip was broken, you can if its a minor fracture. Thats the difference. I guess when the court case happens we might see just how bad it actually is. I'm leaning towards a hairline fracture.

As a Dr I have to say your wife is incorrect. A fracture is is a break.

Which i actually said. You must not be a very good doctor if you cant even read.
