Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3679731, member: 9853"] I've been thinking about this: I don't think Ezra's car accident itself is his biggest concern, and it might even be the turning point that derails the swollen adolescent head trip Ezra's been on. It's out of his hands in the short term, but he, and the club will have to confront it from two angles, the first being most important: [INDENT=2]1. The PR: fans will demand blood. He will have to be "punished" in some way over and above what the courts hand down as a verdict.[/INDENT] [INDENT=2]The NRL need not "stand him down" as his charges aren't serious enough. Ideally, he will have to serve some kind of penance that humiliates him in fan's eyes, and brings him down a notch. Some kind of showy rehab stunt. He might get some kind of suspension, but that's not in the best interest of the Broncos. He's by far our best option at 6, and maybe one day, 7. Well, he has the potential to be, anyway.[/INDENT] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] [INDENT=2]2. Returning him to form. Madge will need to determine whether his pimp daddy routine is part of a larger malaise within the club, and nip it in the bud. Never mind being busted taking drugs on his holidays. Why did his form plummet in 2024, and did his off field lifestyle or rockstar ego play a part?[/INDENT] Breaking down the infractions: [INDENT]1. The accident: no sanction required.[/INDENT] [INDENT]2. Drugs: this is where showy rehab and contrition does the heavy lifting. Walsh got busted for coke. So have many other players. There's enough precedent not to have to write a new script.[/INDENT] [INDENT]3. Driving unlicenced: Cobbo was busted for the same. Got a rap on the knuckles.[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] Ezra will be expected to turn up at work, as per usual. Nothing has changed. [/QUOTE]
