Michael Maguire should make Ezra Mam bring along his wannabe rock star suit jacket that Mam wore to the Broncos’ recent presentation when the incoming coach turns up to read the riot act in the coming days.

And together they should burn it, along with the too cool for school attitude that goes with it.

After that Maguire should throw a hard hat at the 21-year-old and get Mam in contact with a Brisbane construction company.

Do some real work with real people to try and get Mam’s feet back planted firmly on the ground.

Better still, combine that with some time spent with those living with catastrophic injuries that are the result of horrific road accidents, so Mam can fully comprehend the seriousness of the allegations he is now facing.

You fair dinkum just scratch your head with what continues to go on at the Broncos.

It was only last month we were reading about the shenanigans that went on during Mam and Reece Walsh’s end of season trip to Bali.

How poor Reece was laid up in hospital after getting dragged across a reef, which came after Mam was forced to pay to replace a damaged mobile phone following a run-in with a fan, and not the type of fan that hangs from a ceiling.

Of course, now it’s gone next level after Mam allegedly tested positive to drugs when crashing his car head on into an Uber while allegedly driving unlicensed while moving house.

You couldn’t dream this stuff up.

But with police now awaiting the subsequent results of a second drug test to determine if Mam will be formally charged, the best way for the Broncos to make a better man of Mam if he is ultimately found guilty is not by tearing up his $4 million NRL contract.

It’s giving him a crash course in what it’s like to live in the real world.

We all know if the Broncos were to sack Mam all it would mean is that a player of his immense talent would just end up at another club in the not-too-distant future still on a massive salary and potentially with an even bigger ego to go with it.

But this could end up being the line in the sand Maguire needs to stamp out this rock star mentality that is quite clearly tearing apart the culture of this once proud football club.

You only had to look at the way Mam turned up to this year’s presentation night after his trip to Bali wearing that sleeveless suit jacket with his shirt unbuttoned to obviously show off his chest tattoos to realise how even his dress standards (as well as his form on the field) have fallen away in recent times.

It’s all well and good to make excuses for Mam’s outfit being a reflection of modern fashion.

But can you imagine Mam getting away with this at the Paul Morgan Medal night when Wayne Bennett was coach?

We’re entitled to ask why someone at the Broncos didn’t tell Mam to pull his head in after he rolled up last year wearing shorts at the same function.

Maybe that goes to the heart of exactly why these young blokes seem to think they rule the world, and why it’s time for Maguire to pull their heads out of the clouds.

Even if Mam turned up at the members at Randwick races on Everest Day in this style of suit he would have been turned away at the gate. Not chaperoned through like he some sort of rapper at the Grammys.

But it’s the type of look that’s become all too acceptable at the Broncos in recent times, amid the flash haircuts, expensive bling and fingernail polish.

Madge Maguire can pack in his suitcase for the trip to Brisbane his tough disciplinarian reputation and all the confidence in the world at being able to create a hard-nose attitude that is obviously missing from one of the NRL’s most talented rosters.

But in the end it will be down to the individuals in his squad, and how committed they are to taking responsibility individually for their own standards.

Only then, if there is enough buy-in and genuine soul searching from the players, will the Broncos rid themselves of the general perception that they are spoilt, underperforming, would-be rock stars.

They need to trade the sleeveless suits and bling for overalls and hard hats.

Otherwise, the greatest coaching messiah in the world couldn’t make a dint in that perception, or the record of going 18 seasons without a premiership.

It’s up to the players to restore the image of the once great club that has fallen so far behind the Melbourne Storm and Penrith Panthers in attitude, acceptable standards and achievement that it is now bordering on a fair dinkum sporting tragedy.
