        That is harsh imo. The 8 weeks maybe but $125K. Damn that is brutal. Is it deducted from the salary cap?

          OUCH $125000 that has to hurt. Bearing that in mind probably fair enough
          I respect all our moderators here. Past present and even future. Always have done and always will do a wonderful job.

              I thought he may have got 12 weeks but I never saw the $125,000 coming.

                Mitchell Pearce could never serve any jail time for what he did. It was in no way a criminal matter.

                I wonder how many footballers who committed a criminal offence (including bashing women) have been fined $125,000 ?

                  Is this backdated to when Pearce first got stood down by the Club, or is it 8 weeks of the NRL season?

                    I'm OK with that - may set an example to others
                    There's a reason why the young and idealistic become the old and cynical.
                    It's called experience.

                      Hmm , seems harsh.
                      $125 000 , how do they come up with that much?
                      Sets a precedent for all players from now on.

                        6 weeks and a hundgy is what I thought was fair.
                        Remember he's on massive coin, and needed to be belted hard, financially.

                          The 125k is ridiculous. I hope someone from the club challenges that. That's nearly 20% of his salary.

                          Was Greenburg involved in the process ? If so, that makes it even more laughable.

                            The nrl wanted 12 weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if uncle nick got them to up the fine , as a swap for less time on the sidelines.

                              No. The penalty starts this week.
