Honestly, the poll for this doesn't go far enough.
6 weeks would be not enough for this hit.

There is absolutely no justification for this - it isn't a League play gone wrong. It was a pure act of thuggery.

I agree but the NRL are soft.

They like to say they are cracking down on foul play by sin binning soft hits like Sua. When they need to act they are often found wanting.

To me it is 12 week minimum but NAS should of had time out too

Billy slater would say anything if its against the panthers, the fact he reckons this was an accident, that hes nice bloke, who gives a f**k, he hit him in the head off the ball, you dont touch anyone that doesn't hve the ball, let alone hit them high clean on the chin, lets see him in round 14, and cop a fist on his jaw from big fish, off the ball.
There's no room in league for off the ball head highs, that's thuggery, and billys a knob, especially after the amount of shit he got away with, Melbourne were lucky they only had 2 trophies striped...
Btw last year this same "good bloke" from newy, had been accused of a racist slur to peachey when they played the titans, the timing is impeccable that it was multicultural round when he hits chris smith

He wouldn't wait to hit you off the ball, he'd rather wait till you had the ball then axe you, as for fake tough guy, that's usually reserved for guys like barnett, who wanna hit random folk on the chin in backplay, so yeah fake tough guy is getting some months off to think about how not to single handedly lose a match, by being a dumbshít

Barnett facing 16 weeks so they say.

He'd deserve it but I'll believe it when I see it. They want 16, Newcastle want 7 or so, and there always is some compromise. If I were to guess 9-12 weeks, somewhere in between. It would please me if it was 16 weeks though

Should make it 10 so he can play penrith on his return in round 14, plus make it all unpaid, and a fine for good measure
