And yet JWH continues to just get fines. His hit on Haas was just as bad.
Same with Luai, I just don't understand how his is a grade 1 and Burgess is grade 2. Very similar and Luai didn't even attract a penalty.

Initially I thought the fine system for repeated offences would be OK, but its really a terrible system and has no real dis-incentive for the player or club, considering repeated offence fines would only amount to something like 5% or less of a medium tier player and above's yearly wage(lower for elite, slightly higher for fringe players). Either dramatically increase fines or go back to automatic suspension for 3rd and subsequnt offence.

1. In Australia is it legal in our workplace laws to fine an employee for accidental mistakes? And if so, what other professions impose such draconian penalties?
2. Do players actually pay the fines, or their clubs?

Very fair point, all the more reason to get rid of fines and go back to suspensions. I just assumed players payed the fines, but I'm not sure. Though didnt Ryan Matterson elect to get suspended instead of paying fines, which ended up dis-advantaging Parra?
