Broncos star Ezra Mam will receive a nine-match suspension from the NRL for breaching the competition's code of conduct, according to a report.
Mam avoided conviction but after being found guilty of one count of driving while relevant drug is present in blood, and driving without a licence earlier this month.
The Brisbane five-eighth crashed his ute into an oncoming Uber in mid-October, injuring the driver, a child and a women, and was found to have had "a cocktail of cocaine and other matters" in his blood during the incident.
Mam received an $850 fine and his driving license was disqualified for at least six months following his court date

While Mam is yet to officially receive any sanction from the NRL or the Broncos, AAP reports the 22-year-old is set to be handed a nine-game suspension.
This would mean Mam wouldn't be eligible to play NRL until the Broncos' Round 10 match against the Rabbitohs.
After receiving his punishment from the court, Mam released the following statement:
However, Mam did address the media where he apologised for his actions.
"Today is a very important step in learning from my actions and starting to make things right," Mam said.
"To the people involved in the accident I am truly sorry. This incident isn’t a reflection of what I want to be and what is expected of me as a role model.
"To the NRL, Brisbane Broncos, the fans, my family - I am sorry. I promise to work on being a better person."
