The union bloke at Rooster's for top tryscorer is a terrible prediction, I'm not even certain he'll make the team

It’s soft but probably fair given what the courts held him accountable for.

More than double the punishment we gave Trindall who was fined more in court and blew alcohol in his system.

If the courts had actually cared Mum veered straight into oncoming traffic injuring people then NRL would have had a better leg to stand on to punish him more.

Wiping him out for 1/3 of the season is probably about right. In comparison to what the court gave him you could say the League’s punishment was excessive. We also don’t know what the monetary part of his NRL punishment is yet – somehow I don’t reckon he will get change from $1000 on this fine.

The NRL can’t win here. Because of the absolute bullshit punishment handed down by the court there is a thirst among the public to see this guy cop it. But it is not the job of the NRL to clean up after the “justice” system fails. If they try to satisfy the public by going extra hard on Mam they are basically letting the punters on Twitter and Facebook run the show.
