In a classic case of rough and tumble on the field, the NRL Judiciary has handed down their verdict for Round 19.
The only player to be left on the sidelines is William Kennedy, who was slapped with a Grade 2 contrary conduct charge for accidentally bumping into referee Adam Gee during a heated match against the Wests Tigers.
While Kennedy serves his suspension, seven other players have accepted their fines after being charged by the match review committee.
Haumole Olakau'atu from the Manly Sea Eagles has copped the biggest hit to his wallet, facing a hefty $3000 penalty.
In true sporting fashion, the players have taken the charges on the chin and accepted their punishments.
It's all part of the game, as they say.
So as Round 19 comes to a close, the NRL community can reflect on the highs and lows of another thrilling weekend of Rugby League action.
