Manly and the Sharks have fair representation on that list. Boy, Travis Burns has a fair strike rate considering he didn't play that many NRL games.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Is this times , or weeks??

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

how far back does it go?
Surely Les Boyd would appear?

 

[Chip and Chase]

Is this times , or weeks??

I think it is number of matches

Melbourne surprisingly under-represented given they were the inventors of the wrestle. The Melbourne players who did make the list (Williams and Crocker) certainly earned it!

 

[HappilyManly]

This must be NRL only as Les Boyd and that Norths Player Cooper or something got 15 months each

In 1983 Boyd received a 12 month suspension for elbowing the Big Man, breaking his jaw. When he came back in 1984, he was suspended for 15 months for an eye gouge on Canterbury's Billy Johnstone.

Bob Cooper was at Wests at the time and hammered an Illawarra player and copped 15 months.

Others worth a mention

John Sattler sent off a dozen times or more.
Steve Kneen - copped a 12 month suspension at one stage.

I thought Maria Hargraves would have been on this list. He has been suspended quite a bit.

I imagine josh reynolds will be on top of this list by the end of his career.

 

[Snake]

That list should read 1. Hopoate, with daylight second.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Fingers Hoppa certainly spent some time off the paddock!!

 

[MadMarcus]

I imagine josh reynolds will be on top of this list by the end of his career.

Maybe even by the end of the year!

Interesting that Matai is not close to the top of the list and Gallen has the same suspensions as him. I would expect that most people would think Matai would be higher.

Burns' big suspension occurred when he was playing for the Panthers in 2012 when he was suspended for 12 weeks following his high shot on Kennedy.

"Acts such as these must be obliterated from the game, and I'll begin by obliterating you." - Jim Comans to Cooper when handing down his sentence.

Wasn't it 3 Steelers he flattened?

And Hoppa had a few weeks off while playing for balmain

Speaking of suspended.....

Can you believe Grub Reynolds will miss only one game for his attempted trip in the City vs Country game?

The NRL Judiciary should be sacked for gross incompetence.

He smashed Lee Pomfret's jaw to pieces.

Yep, can't believe it, 6 suspensions in 12 months and he gets one week!
Surely that many times has to have some significant loading.
Seems like everyone is always defending him , " he competes so hard.."..etc rather than saying he's a liability and he needs to take responsibility for his actions.
I don't care if all his offences are minor, surely the amount of times he's faced charges warrants a lot more time out.

As far as I can tell poor Hoppa is still effectively suspended from the hit on galloway in 2005. He hasn't been on the paddock in the nrl since. And when he tried to play Union, or for manly cove didn't he get re suspended? That's a lot of weeks!
