Rugby League great Scott Sattler believes troubled Broncos star Ezra Mam will only serve a ban of between four and six weeks - as other football pundits call on the NRL to take a tough stance. Mam, 21, was fined $850 and disqualified from driving for at least six months after a head-on collision while he was driving unlicensed with a cocktail of drugs in his system.

The incident occurred on October 18 in Bardon, Brisbane, when Mam's Ford Ranger collided with an Uber. A woman and her four-year-old daughter, passengers in the Uber, sustained minor injuries, with reports suggesting the child may have suffered a broken hip.

The magistrate said that Mam 'had to learn' from the incident. However, many footy fans and pundits believe Mam has got off lightly and have called on the NRL to come down hard.

Mam was charged after this accident and will face scrutiny from the NRL's Integrity Unit. Sports journalist Phil Rothfield posted to X: 'And you wonder why our national road toll is so bad. A high profile footballer on $700k a year gets fined a p**s weak $850 for driving while disqualified with a cocktail of drugs in his system...An absolute disgrace...Over to the NRL now. They've got to go hard.'.
