F the Broncos.

Well done J Liddle for out running ' Cocaine Charlie '.

Do you get the feeling that the NRL are playing favourites again, given it’s the Broncos? ie:
Lenui banned 8 weeks for sledging.
Mitchell Pearce banned half a season for an idiot video with a dog.
Mam 9 weeks ban for almost killing 2 people for reckless use of a motor vehicle, driving unlicensed and having drugs in his system at the time.

Seems entirely fair, doesn’t it, but hardly surprising given that the NRL want to protect their investment in South East Queensland.

If it were a Roosters player involved, could you imagine the furore it would cause, and the media would have a field day.

On the topic of Taupau, he liked a post criticising Madge’s tough training regime. That can’t be tolerated by the Broncs, as it akin to being critical about the coach. However , if a player almost kills 2 members of the public, that’s Ok since it doesn’t involve the club.

It all smacks of them wanting to get rid of Taupau anyway.

Unfortunately, I think the Broncs will be a much more dangerous side with Mam in it - they only have one geriatric half on the field now, instead of two.

I've long been a fan of his, from the days when the Bulldogs had him rotting in reserve grade and I still think he's a decent bench option at NRL level.

But no I would rather see the young guys get those minutes, the more minutes we put into Losalu, X Va'a, Foketi and Seve this year the better off we will be moving forward.

Fair enough.

I was also thinking bench option/depth if his market price was reasonable.

Hi R6, Do you rate Tapau and could he work at the Roosters?

The NRL is as corrupt as most corporations involved with the legal sytem in some way. Any one else woul;d of been "made an example of" usual words a mason judge..

If he came for minimum money I'd sign Taupau as depth, he has plenty of experience and would be a benefit to our NSW Cup team and in emergency situations perhaps the NRL side also. I feel like he'd want half decent money though so perhaps Super League bound.

In the same week Ezra Mam has been called back into the First Grade side the Brisbane Broncos have sacked Martin Tapau for liking an instagram post.

What a backwards club.

Cobbo had a thing or two to say about Kevvie’s coaching ability a year or so ago too but somehow managed to avoid the sack. Very selective by the Broncos. I guess pranging a car which causing injury to a young child, while unlicensed and high on coke isn’t as big a crime as liking an insta post.

I agree. However, I think the broader issue is that the NRL doesn't give a shyte about DUI, drug driving and driving without a license as it's largely a private matter. They only care when shyte gets out and sponsors ask questions of the board...

My understanding is that Mam did not have a license and that this in itself shoulda raised a red flag (possibly multiple red flags). We dunno why his license was suspended but it shows that he has a record of road offences & a lack of remorse (possibly because a heap of speeding offences took peanuts outta his salary, but it coulda been for something like DUI).

Should a player HAVE to almost kill a little girl in order for the NRL to care? Or. Should they have intervened earlier on?

To me if they'd cared earlier on then a proper punishment would be easier to justify as the reasoning would include a reference to previous punishments / promises. As it is, I can see why they're saying 'look it's tragic somebody got hurt but this will be a very long suspension for a guy who the courts have not convicted, and chose to only charge with the most minor offence... so... losing control of an automobile... 9 weeks is a lot for losing control of your car... no charges were laid for GBH, drug driving, driving without a license or reckless driving... so... our hands are kinda tied'.

The attached will answer that question.

This whole 9-week suspension is borderline insanity. Paranoid I may be, but the fact we play Brisbane (and Penrith to make it look OK) in the first 7 weeks makes me think PVL and Abdo already had the suspension time in mind - hence the ridiculous fixture. 'monkey boy' avoids a trip to Allianz for one, but I don't think (and hope) he is not safe at any venue he plays at. Read other Rugby League supporters forums, he is seriously hated so I have no doubt he is going to get his comeuppance from more than just Roosters supporters. Even many on the Broncos forum admit he has got off extremely likely.

One extra week suspension than what Spencer received (for an innocuous name call) so the NRL thinks they have come down hard on 'monkey boy'.

Honestly, who the hell does PVL and Abdo think they're fooling?
