The only similar case I can think of is Mike Tyson. Previous NRL bites on the arms in headlock tackles pale in comparison, and they've copped upto 8 weeks.
Interestingly my wife, a bulldogs supporter, has firmly stated since Sunday night that he should be given a lifetime ban from the NRL.
Personally I'd say 20+ weeks would send the message the NRL need to send that this behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

Read lots of posts / opinions from Bulldog fans who can't understand WHY the club went for a Not Guilty option ?
They all know he's guilty & needs a relatively LARGE example.
Only the Dogs 'mad rabble minority' are claiming "It's an NRL stitch up" ::)

Suspension - 12 matches

My wife's a bulldogs supporter. She reckons he should be banned for life from NRL. Bit harsh IMO, but this is a woman & mother's perspective.

12 weeks - 4 (tests/trials) = 8 weeks. PATHETIC!!!!

Didn't Billy get around 5-8 weeks when he lashed out with a leg (not even a kick) in a tackle a few years ago? And that was his first ever appearance and he pled guilty.

I wonder what Graham's penalty would've been if he'd pled guilty? Slap on the wrist?

I bet he wishes he smacked Billy in the head now. Proaably would've got away with nothing. A dog act gets what's deserved. 12 weeks should be premiership matches, not tests and trials which don't impact on his club. I still reckon he should be sent on a convict ship back to Blighty.

only trials are included, because the suspension is longer than the amount of rep games they dont count. so he misses 3 trials and 9 rounds. rd 10 he will be back. i think its about right
