Madge confirms Mam not getting the boot

[TimWhatley]

Assuming we keep Mam which in my opinion we probably will, how long would he be suspended for?

+4-5 weeks more than the going rate for this kind of infringement

 

[Morepudding]

Even if the drug test ends up being negative he probably gets a 4 game ban for driving unlicensed.

Given he’s checked into rehab, probably pretty likely he was on something. Hard to see him missing less than 10 games, wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up sacked but then we are the big losers out of the ordeal, all the good young halves are locked away. The only viable person we might be able to go after would be Jonah Pezet or Tyrone Wishart

The trouble with the Pezets and Wishart is they aren’t the answer. Good players, but it’s not like Cronk to the roosters.
Bide our time, either go hard for a top flight half or Black is the future. Middle range Wishart isn’t. A budget Sexton, maybe. Wishart will want more given where he is from and the utility value

CM reporting Mam will remain at the Broncos.

 

[Kaz]

Ezra Mam will not be kicked out of rugby league with the troubled Brisbane five-eighth set to avoid being deregistered by the NRL.

This masthead understands NRL bosses are unlikely to tear up Mam’s five-year, $4 million contract, with Broncos powerbrokers also set to push for the playmaker to be given a second chance.

They just won't relent lol

We simply have to rip his contract up IMO. We're now locked in for 5 years with $900k for a guy that was over paid to begin with and now he is damaged goods. 2025 is a complete write off for him and who knows what the future holds. Will he ever be able to live up to that contract? Will the mental demons keep popping up making him a high maintenance player for the club?

Keeping him on a renegotiated deal if much easier to swallow IMO. Our salary cap is a mess and now we are in a bigger hole because of this drama.

 

[Fernando]

We'll see. There wasn't anything in that article except quotes from Maguire's first day.

 

[007]

Who really knows until the details come out. So many alleged things floating around.

 

[Sproj]

Let's be honest, we all kind of just want to see our R&R team actually do something.

 

[Renegade]

we all just need to relax. it's off season, enjoy yourselves.

all you keep hearing is that our cap is maxed out.

well potentially but contracts don't really mean much, players come and go all the time. so who really knows what could happen?

Donuts: Alright guys, what do you want to do with Mam?

R&R Rep: We should probably sack him.

Morris: (Texting) Mam gone - breaking news

Lockyer: (Incoherent rambling)

Donuts: (Pause) Riiiiight...are we unanimous?

R&R Rep: Yep if everyone else is.

Morris: (Texting) Yes yes, go go go.

Donuts: Karl are you paying attention?

(crickets)

Lockyer: (incoherent rambling)

Donuts: Alright, well I leave you to do the paperwork

(Long pause)

R&R Rep: Uhh...paperwork?

(long pause)

R&R Rep: Motion to keep Mam?

Morris: (Texting) Wait, change the headline - Mam not sacked

Lockyer: (incoherent rambling) (In the background Gould says No no no no no)

Donuts: Well I guess its approved, we are keeping him.

R&R Rep: (Sighs with relief) Great! For a minute there I thought I was going to have to do some work.

Craziness if we keep him.
He will be out for Atleast 12wks imo and disrupt so much of the 25 season. Hes overpaid and I don’t think he will reach the heights of 2023. Not to mention he seems unhinged and there’s no guarantee he has/will learn from his action.
The media will have a field day with him. He will create so many headlines and will never be able to shake this incident from the media side of things (similar to Lodge when he was here).

Just admit you're desperate for the leaks to come back.

We have no idea what they are doing behind the scenes, for all we know they have re-signed every player we want to keep.

Besides, you knew or should have known that the second Kevvie got sacked our entire R&R plans would have been delayed until the be coach got his hands on the team and saw what he needs ...

How many times have we had this conversation and you still don't understand my position?

How many times have we heard Walsh has re-signed? How many times have I said I'll believe it when I see it announced?

I couldn't care less about leaks, I want announcements. It really isn't that hard to get your head around mate.

Off-seasons, particularly at the Broncos, have never ever been designed for enjoyment.
