Brisbane players confronted Sydney Roosters forward Spencer Leniu in the corridors of the team hotel in Las Vegas just hours after Ezra Mam accused the prop of calling him a “monkey” during the game at Allegiant Stadium.
Both the Sydney Roosters and Broncos confirmed to this masthead that the hotel confrontation occurred but insist it was only verbal and not physical. In audio from the match broadcast, Mam is heard telling referee Gee, “He called me a monkey.” Another Broncos player also says, “He called him a monkey.”Gee then asks Mam if he wanted to make a formal complaint, to which Mam responds, “Yes I do.”
“We don’t accept that in our club, certainly. It’s not our doing. We won’t take any more questions on it except we support Ezra in every way. We respect the NRL, and they’ll deal with it.” Mam gifted the Roosters the opening points of the game with a loose pass that was intercepted by Manu, who only joined his teammates in the United States five days out from the game after staying home for the birth of his child.
