Ezra Mam

[007]

I know Ezra is hated on here but its not his fault what result he got.
Some people are very lucky with the results they get from court.

Mark my words the NRL will put him out for double the time Spencer got.

I wouldn't go putting money on that if I were you.

i'm not so sure they will Mickie - the media, police and judge have effectively played it down enough that the NRL might be tempted to let sleeping dogs lie. yes they will suspend him but i'll be surprised with the way it's gone so far if it's even as much as Spencer's. i think the Nrl will clue the broncs up on if you don't give him X weeks we will so you better give him X.

to be honest i couldn't really give a toss what he gets - rather not waste the energy on it.

[Mickie Lane]

Absolutely. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I don't think Ezra should play Rugby League ever again - in any country. And I still think he should do jail time.

This is worse & he was allowed to play footy again at the Roosters.

Former rugby league prop Zane Tetevano will spend at least nine months behind bars for a series of attacks on a former girlfriend.
Tetevano, 24, pleaded guilty last year to eight charges, including destroying property, common assault and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
At a hearing at Newcastle Local Court on Thursday, magistrate Ian Cheetham sentenced the former front-rower to 18 months in jail with a minimum non-parole period of nine months for the attacks, which began in 2013.
Tetevano had his contract torn up by the Manly Sea Eagles in December following his guilty pleas and hasn't played in the NRL since.
He was earlier let go by the Newcastle Knights after pleading guilty to smashing a taxi windscreen.

The Judge who dealt with Ezra Mam must be a die hard Bronco's supporter

[Rooster90]

It's insane that he got off with less than if he just got caught with a mobile phone....obviously someone high up is a Bronco fan
If he gets anything less than a 12 week suspension from the NRL it really sets a ridiculous standard.

The guy needs to be booed to Matt Lodge levels everytime he touches the ball

[kakaruk]

The whole thing stinks from the original charges to the judge’s sentence it’s a sham the victim’s should sue for a substantial 6figure sum imo

[Bates]

No doubt that the Judge is a lifetime member of the Broncos Pty Ltd.

Interesting there wasnt a fine for crossing double white line added to mams fine.
qld law soon to be passed "adult time for adult crime for kids. Also kids time for adult crimes for drongo players.
Get ya self a lawyer son, get ya self a real good one. Im guessing a $50k bill from a law firm and probably $30k to the innocent ppl effected by this clowns actions.

That was a funny one, but I think humans are technically primates so it doesn't really matter...not as if she called (God forbid) a monkey.

Humans are primates one of a couple of hundred.

Well, not in a court of law.

interesting in the cricket yesterday, a female commentator called and Indian bowler the MVP, then she said “most valuable primate”. Very strange choice of words, she herself is an English cricketer of Indian parents.

caused an uproar on social media, she did a public apology on live tv, and she was back in the commentary box today. Not sure if cricket Australia will take the matter any further, also not sure if the Indian cricket team made an official complaint.

the difference here may be, that she apologised within 24hrs and didn’t shy away from her on air mistake.

So did Spencer. Despite his (Spencer's) ignorance of the word 'monkey' the judiciary decided to make an example out of him. Read into that what you will.

8 weeks (a 3rd of the season) for an innocuous name call with no harm done except for Ezra 'I can dish it out (think coconut comments aimed at the Panthers players) but can't take it' crying which so obviously affected his concentration (I use the term loosely) at the Las Vegas game in the 70th minute. Obviously cost the Broncos the game. FFS.

The NRL (with their bias), in particular PVL is making my interest in Rugby League a far cry from when I used to enjoy it.

Rant over.

An NRL.player would get a bigger fine for a high tackle.

Imagine this scenario in the 70's and '80's ?? There would be a blue if someone said something offensive and it would have been sorted out on the field. As it should be !

And it was. Played many (team) sports from the 70's to the 90's (cricket, football, rugby, hockey) and on field it was nothing but a bit of banter. None of this political correctness and everyone moved on very quickly. The odd fight here and there but nothing too serious.

Many of my teammates were of an indigenous background. Whether they be Greek, Italian, Lebanese, Indian etc. it didn't matter. We were all teammates and all of us looked after each other.
