A staggering 20 charges were dished out during a controversial Round 8, with players facing a combined 16 weeks worth of suspensions, and $14,350 in fines.
With Scott Sorensen of the Penrith Panthers being found guilty at the judiciary panel on Tuesday evening, it confirms seven separate players face suspensions of between one and seven weeks, while the fine number would have been harder if it weren't for so many players on a first or second offence.
None of the fines are worth $3000.
