And that crash was not related to the drugs in his system.
Even so, a crash where nobody was injured more than minor, shouldn't double the penalty.
Finally, my point (very clearly) was this incident will not bring an end to the belief that Broncos players are treated more harshly, and it hasn't.
It will do no such thing, unless Mam gets a penalty the same as prior incidents i.e. around 5 weeks
If/when he gets double what other people got for similar offences, it reinforces the inequity, it doesn't put it to bed
Braydon Trindall tested positive for recreational drugs, was over double the legal limit for blood alcohol, and was driving without a license. He copped a 5 week NRL suspension.
Josh Addo-Carr got 2 weeks NRL suspension after being caught driving under the influence of cocaine, all the while...
But did he? That's a genuine question, does anyone know if he got the normal penalty, or did he get some kind of discretionary reduction from the judge?
To be fair, the team really hasn't found a winning formula, and the only time Patty is Capt is when your experienced halfback isn't playing.
Patty's captaincy record needs to be viewed in context.
It's not like Fittler's record was that good, he was coming off a loss, and reportedly wanted more than what was deemed acceptable.
They replaced him with a guy who then won the next series.
How you call that a mistake is beyond me. They weren't to know Madge would leave.
I think so too.....Kev knows the Broncos demand success and won't tolerate less.
Poor results are what got Kev the job, and poor results cost him the job too, and he knows this.
Unlike Tallis, Kev is bronco through and through and he'll handle this with class.
