Ezra Mam Faces NRL Breach Notice

Brisbane Broncos player Ezra Mam has received a breach notice from the NRL following his guilty plea for drug-driving and driving without a license, which could lead to a lengthy ban. Mam, 22, was fined $850 and disqualified from driving for nine months after an October 18 incident where he collided with an Uber vehicle, injuring its driver and passengers. The NRL's breach notice indicates Mam's actions have brought the game and the Broncos into disrepute, and details of the sanction will not be disclosed until he responds. This incident has sparked public outrage, with Queensland Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie and Attorney-General Deb Frecklington criticizing the court's lenient punishment as a 'slap on the wrist'. Magistrate Mark Nolan condemned Mam's decisions, emphasizing the dangers of driving under the influence of illicit drugs. The government is considering legislative changes to address such leniencies in penalties.
