League fans have been starved of action for a good few months now, but just as the anticipation is reaching its peak, the stars are tumbling with 32 players on the sidelines in round one.

Bulldogs prop David Klemmer became the latest name on the list on Wednesday night, joining seven other bad boys suspended for at least the opening round.

Across the board charges have increased on previous seasons with the NRL cracking down on dangerous behaviour to stamp it out of the game.
