Look it is not new... Joey was smashing the nose candy Friday night and playing Sunday... agree re. the e culture but, thing is, when you are in the culture it feels like "everybody else" is doing it too because that is the crowd you circulate with and gravitate towards...
If it’s 14 years doesn’t that fall into the NRL stand down pol? Ie greater than 10 yrsEzra Mam's victim breaks silence as lawyer reveals worst-case scenario
The lawyer states he could be facing up to 14 years in prison.www.zerotackle.com
So 4 year old girl has broken hip. Lawyer says Mam facing 14 years imprison.
And Courier Mail, If Mam misses the start of the season. Lol.
Now tell me are Broncos owners and the courier mail is there a connection?
How about 3 months !!...in Mam's case. They say it could take up to 3 months for a secondary drug test to come out. Apparently you can pay to have the second drug test done quickly. If this is the case, why haven't the Broncs taken this option. As per normal, with the Broncos, they'll drag this one out for as long as they can, early January will do.
But amazingly, the Broncs still want to keep him. Lets just wait for the Court case in Dec, they may act then. Poor old JAC, got sacked for a whole lot less.
You're comparing the wrong criteria.
The Broncs may want to keep Mam, but could come at a cost. Going on social media, the overwhelming view by many up here in Bris, they want him gone. Court case set down for Dec, wouldn't surprise me to see the Broncos backflip on keeping him. We'll find out soon enough.
I wonder if the Broncos have put together a “compensation package” to the victims to drop any more serious charges,thus reducing the length of the NRL’s sanctionsBroncos star Ezra Mam is set to avoid further police charges in a decision that could significantly reduce the NRL sanctions he is facing ahead of the 2025 Premiership.
Mam will front court in Brisbane on December 16 following a head-on car crash last month that put his $4 million Broncos contract in jeopardy.
Mam, 21, was this week formally charged with drug driving and driving unlicensed after colliding with a male Uber driver transporting a woman and four-year-old girl as passengers.
All four people were hospitalised following the collision, with police declaring “no-one was seriously injured”.
After recording a positive result to roadside drug test, Mam underwent a secondary blood test in hospital which returned a positive result this week.
The woman Uber passenger has told television news outlets she suffered a fractured and dislocated tailbone in the collision while her daughter sustained a fractured hip. Neither is expected to undergo surgery.

Security cameras captured footage of Mam’s Ford Ranger utility allegedly veering into the oncoming lane on Simpsons Road in Bardon on October 18 moments before the collision with a Toyota Camry.
Mam was issued a traffic infringement notice (fine) by police for failing to maintain control of a vehicle.
However after completing their investigation, police said they would not charge Mam with any further offences.
When asked if the investigation was closed a Queensland Police spokesperson said: “No further charges (are) expected, the investigation is now before the court.”
The charges he is facing is likely to play a decisive factor in Mam’s availability for the Broncos next year.

The NRL and Broncos will not sanction Mam until his court proceedings are finalised and they have received confirmation from police that no further charges are pending.
An NRL suspension of about two months, coupled with a significant fine from League Central, for Mam has been speculated.
The penalties may have been significantly heavier if he was facing further, more serious, charges.
Given the formal charges, Mam is unlikely to be sacked by the Broncos and is aiming to report for pre-season training in the New Year.
Even if he receives a suspension from the NRL it is unlikely he will be prohibited from training with his teammates at Red Hill.
Brisbane coach Michael Maguire (R) has spoken of the challenges facing Ezra Mam (L).
Mam was scheduled to complete his rehabilitation program early this week and new Broncos coach Michael Maguire said the Brisbane playmaker had a long road ahead of him.
“The reason you go to rehab – you go in there to bring change to your life and understand yourself and know how grateful we are for the things we have,” Maguire said.
“Sometimes people lose their way, but you can find your way again and that’s our plan for Ezra to get back to his best.
“I believe Ezra has to own where he is at and I believe he will.
“He is in a very serious situation and he needs to work hard to turn things around.
“We have to go through the process, the charges have come out and Ezra is working on himself.
“It then goes to the NRL and they and the Broncos will deal with the situation.
“It will be what it will be, but we have to change where we have been as a club and use this moment in time to improve and build the culture on what we want it to be.”
