Broncos Statement – Ezra Mam

The Brisbane Broncos can confirm Ezra Mam has accepted both NRL sanctions and additional Club-imposed sanctions handed down, following an incident that took place in October.

Mam met with the Broncos’ Board at a formal hearing last week, before being issued with a breach notice from the NRL on Monday.

The Broncos have fined Mam an additional $90,000, on top of the NRL’s notice. 

Further, Mam will be required to undertake the following: 

A Safer Driving Training Program; Ongoing work or study placement, to be designed by the Club’s Wellbeing and Education department; An ongoing Wellbeing Support Program, to be designed by the Club’s Wellbeing and Education department

Brisbane Broncos CEO Dave Donaghy said: “Whilst we are extremely disappointed that we have been placed in this position, we believe both the NRL and Club-imposed penalties adequately reflect the gravity of what’s transpired and should act as a deterrent from this type of risky and anti-social behaviour.

“Ezra clearly did the wrong thing, but he has taken responsibility for his actions and shown genuine remorse towards those involved. He understands the impact this has had on everyone around him, and the game.

“Ezra has taken steps to get his life back on track since this incident and that must continue. We have been very clear about that.

“We believe the additional measures in place are important and will go hand in hand with integrating Ezra back into the work underway at the Broncos.”
