Ezra Mam's raw admission on Spencer Leniu saga and car crash that causes mass outrage

Broncos star Ezra Mam has opened up about the car crash that left a woman and child injured as well as what was said between him and Spencer Leniu, ending a feud that stemmed from the Las Vegas racism saga. Last October, Mam made headlines for all the wrong reasons after his ute crashed into an Uber at Bardon, just outside of Brisbane injuring a woman and child.

Mam pleaded guilty to one count of driving while relevant drug is present in the blood and driving without a licence. But while the Magistrate was relatively lenient, the NRL was less so. The 22-year-old was slapped with a combined $120,000 in fines from the NRL and the Broncos and was handed a nine-game ban. Speaking about the ordeal, Mam says the whole experience has given him a different outlook on life, acknowledging in hindsight that he was previously very selfish. 'In hindsight, I didn't think about how my actions can impact others,' he said in an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald. 'Obviously I'm trying my best to learn from that now, I'm here to make better decisions for myself. There's no excuse for my actions, I've got to own that now. 'I'm still learning to deal with everything. I feel very remorseful for everything that happened. 'For me, I was dealing with stuff in the wrong way. I need to learn from that. That's how I grow as a person. Experiences like this, you can take a lot away from it and I feel like I've taken a lot away from this situation to improve myself in many different ways.' Mam returned to the NRL for the Broncos against the Dragons in round 11 and was back to his scintillating best. Such was the strength of his performances that he was called into Billy Slater's Queensland squad for Origin Game 2. Mam was named 18th man for Game 2. And it incredibly allowed him to put another saga behind him, the feud with Blues enforcer Spencer Leniu. Vision from after Game 2 on Wednesday showed Leniu approach Queensland's 18th man after full-time, with the pair engaging in a brief conversation that ended in an embrace. You can watch the moment in the player at the top of the page. The touching moment showed they have seemingly finally buried the hatched some 16 months after Leniu labelled Mam a 'monkey' in the Las Vegas season opener between the Roosters and Broncos in 2024. Leniu copped an eight-match ban for the slur which he insisted was unintentional and was nothing more than 'one brown man saying something to another brown man'. But in a great show of character, after full-time, Leniu sought out Mam to bury the hatchet and clear the air with the Broncos star. And Mam revealed he has accepted Leniu's apology and says it is all in the past now. 'We were able to have a chat and put everything behind us. I won't go into much detail about what was said, but I'm happy he came up to me and we're able to move forward now and get on with the year,' Mam told SMH.

‘Never seen that': America reacts to unusual changeroom scene at Club World Cup

If you can't handle the heat, head to the sheds. Borussia Dortmund defeated South African team Mamelodi Sundowns 4-3 in their FIFA Club World Cup match on Sunday (AEST) to move into second spot in Group F. Watch every game of The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup LIVE on Kayo Sports | New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. The expanded Club World Cup is being held in America and the summer heat at Cincinnati's TQL Stadium proved too hot to handle for some of the players. Substitute players from German side Dortmund retreated to their changerooms during the change to escape the heat, watching the game on a TV screen. Temperatures reached 30.5 degrees celsius (87 degrees fahrenheit) in Cincinnati during the game, but the sight of Dortmund's bench players seeking refuge from the heat took some fans by surprise. American sports commentator Joe Pompliano said: 'I've never seen that before.' Borussia Dortmund's bench is watching their Club World Cup match from the locker room because of the heat. It is currently 87 degrees (30.5 degrees Celsius) in Cincinnati, Ohio where the match is being played. (via @BVB) — ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) June 21, 2025 One person commented: 'This is normal weather. Euro countries can't handle this is too funny.' A second said: 'Humidity over 50 per cent as well. Feels like 96 degrees according weather app.' A third said: 'Lol, just came back from my men's league game, it's 100 (degrees) right now.' Another said: '30.5 degrees and they are acting this way. They shouldn't come to Africa.' Players were doing their best to stay hydrated during the game and applied ice packs to their necks in an effort to stay cool. Next year's FIFA World Cup will be held in the USA, Canada and Mexico in July to July. For the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the stadiums used an airconditioning system to maintain comfortable temperatures for players and fans despite the desert heat. As for the game itself, Dortmund held off Mamelodi Sundowns to win a seven-goal thriller. Jobe Bellingham got his first goal for Dortmund as his new club overcame stifling heat in Cincinnati to beat Sundowns 4-3 and move to four points from two matches in Group F. The South African champions had taken a surprise early lead through a fine solo goal from Lucas Ribeiro. However, Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams handed Dortmund their equaliser on a plate, passing the ball straight to Felix Nmecha, who stroked home. Serhou Guirassy gave Dortmund the lead with his 35th goal since the beginning of the season. English midfielder Bellingham, who this month followed older brother Jude's footsteps in joining the German side from Sunderland, started for the first time for Dortmund and made it 3-1 just before the break. Khuliso Mudau's own goal made it 4-1 before the hour mark, but Sundowns salvaged some pride by reducing the deficit through Iqraam Rayners and Lebo Mothiba. 'I'm sweating like I've just come out of a sauna,' said Dortmund coach Niko Kovac when asked about the conditions in a game which started at midday local time. 'It was tough going for both teams, but the opposition are used to it. We certainly didn't give our best performance, but that wasn't possible today.' Sundowns will still go into their final game in Group F with a chance of qualifying for the last 16. 'The boys made a wonderful performance … it was a hell of a match. I'm not happy but very proud,' said their Portuguese coach, Miguel Cardoso. Mbappe release from hospital Meanwhile, Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe was released from hospital after undergoing tests and treatment after suffering gastroenteritis, before later being released. Mbappe did not travel to Charlotte for the team's Club World Cup match against Pachuca, but could be back for the final group stage game, coach Xabi Alonso said. 'He's doing better, he's back from the hospital and is recovering. We're optimistic about having him against Salzburg,' Alonso said. Madrid face Salzburg in the final game of Group H on Thursday in Philadelphia. Mbappe, 26, missed the opening game with the same illness as Madrid were held 1-1 by Al-Hilal in Xabi Alonso's debut as coach. Madrid B-team player Gonzalo Garcia, 21, started in Mbappe's stead and opened the scoring for Real Madrid against their Saudi Arabian opponents.
