I know everyone's talking about the fine and the suspension but to me the issue is the charges. The judge can only lay down punishment for the crimes he was charged with. Why the f**k didn't the cops hit him with a slew of driving offences, Operation of a vehicle causing grievous bodily harm, Dangerous operation while affected by an intoxicating substance etc. etc. its on camera for f**ks sake and it look terrible. Politicians complaining about the punsihment need to ask the police some questions.

So is this it, then or does the NRL mete out its own punishment? Using Mitch Pearce and Spencer Leniu as I guide, he’d get banned for the season and a 500k fine, yeh-nah.

Yeah based on the charges I'm expecting 4-6 weeks in line with Ado Carr. IMO it should be minimum half the season but 12 months would totally be appropriate.

Imagine if this had happened in Sydney to a high profile Sydney based player. haha

I got a $870 fine for being unregistered in Melbourne 10 years ago.

Ezra Mam gets less than that for being off his tree and hitting a car with a young kid in it.

More evidence of what Madge is facing in Brisbane. These guys are untouchable and think they're not only bigger than the game,but bigger than Jesus.

I said it earlier, if Mam gets a lesser suspension then Leniu that’s an absolute disgrace. What Mam did is thousands of times worse
Surely they can't. It's unavoidable given Ezra was involved in that and it's inevitable the comparison will happen.

Should be 12 weeks plus, but won't be

Why didnt they indeed
Either the injuries aren't as severe as reported or bRoNcOs InFlUeNcE
Meanwhile Sandon Smith from notable small club the Roosters was charged appropriately
