Madge confirms Mam not getting the boot
- Thread starter I bleed Maroon
- Start date
Madden salary vs Mam's?
Ezra is a dynamic, eyes up footballer, without Milford's bomb. Dime a dozen. Bad contract.
Fire him and get some experience.

You're basing sacking BW based on Paix QCup form......?
2 different games. The defence in QCup IMO is schoolboy level.

I've always rated Paix, I haven't really made a secret of it. He won hooker of the year in Q Cup for a reason. I also think out greatest weapon is speed and Paix brings that.

If you are biting the bullet let black play next to reynolds no pressure play what is in front of you imo

This might be what has to happen anyway if we lose both Mam and Cobbo signs elsewhere.

Is sacking Mam a power move to draw a line in the sand and lay down the law for all the young players and usher in a complete culture change for the club?
If so, then it might be necessary and beneficial in the long run… but that’s a big if - and something only someone inside the club (probably not even Madge yet) would be able to determine… but that’s the only reason I can see (other than reactionarily wanting to punish him) to cut Mam loose.
If we’re going to sack him and he ends up playing elsewhere and in 12 months Walsh agitates for a release to go join his mate and the Broncos end up without 2 of their 4 young future playmakers then it doesn’t help us at all or accomplish anything to tear up his contract, no matter how stupid and reprehensible his actions were.
No team is going to be full of choir boys and young kids make mistakes… look at Thurston and the career he had after he realised he screwed up. We’re not going to get better by sacking Mam and doing another team a favour.
His actions were unbelievably stupid and hes so lucky nobody was seriously hurt, but personally I hope the club gives him another chance and he uses it to turn his life around and get back to his best. It takes a stronger team to stand by their player and support them to learn and grow from mistakes than to just give them the boot.

I'd argue the reason we haven't locked Cobbo down is because our R&R team is incompetent. We also haven't locked down any of Walsh, Staggs, Willison, Mozer or Hetherington.
Essentially, we have not locked down any of our key soon to be free agents.

I'm worried that this current bunch will pout and sulk and turn in even shittier performances by way of protest.
I think the basic positives in character.......are missing.
That requires Ezra to be made of the right stuff.
I don't think he has the ticker.

We're now having a go at him over his reaction to the Spencer Leniu slur? C'mon BHQ, you're better than that.

Honestly, as weird as it sounds, I'd be going for something like this, but it does have a more union feel about it in my head.
1. Walsh
6. Mozer
7. Reynolds
13. Carrigan
I'm not sure who would be wearing the 9 jersey, but Mozer would be playing the dummy half role and defending wider.

We have like 25 signed players or something right? We are going to need to sign somebody.. right?
Also on the spine. I suspect our long term spine will be:
Walsh
Mam (they wont sack him)
Reynolds (2025) Black (2026)
Mozer.

From an outsider, this will plague your preseason. Its undoubtedly dumb & hasn't he been involved in a couple of other incidents previously?
I would think the best thing for the club moving forward, would be to cut its losses & let him go. He's devalued himself so any offers are going to be quite conditional, i would suspect.
