To ensure consistency and fairness in penalties awarded by the NRL Judiciary, penalties are awarded according to a pre-determined points system. Each 100 points received by a player will result in a one match suspension. For example, a penalty of 275 points will result in a player receiving a two-match suspension, with the remaining 75 points staying on the player's record for 12 calendar months as 'carry-over points'.

Following the end of each round, clubs and media are advised of details of charges laid by the Match Review Committee. Clubs have until noon on the following day to enter a plea on charges.

If the club and player plead guilty, no judiciary hearing is necessary. If the player and his club plead not guilty or ask that the ‘grading’ of the charge be downgraded, he will be required to put his case to the judiciary.

1. Charge/Incident
Category of the offence. i.e. High Tackle - intentional, reckles s or careless.

2. Charge/Grade
Charges are graded 1 to 5 with one being the lightest grading and five the most serious. The charge and grading determine the base penalty a player may receive. On rare occasions, the Match Review Committee will not recommend a grading because of the seriousness of an incident. In such instances the charge will be automatically referred to the Judiciary.

3. Base penalty
The scheduled points for this charge not taking into account the time of plea or the player's record.

4. Seven years incident free
If a player has played grade football for seven years or more and has not been convicted of an offence in the seven years preceding the charge, the player is entitled to a reduction equivalent to 25 per cent of the base penalty.

5. Demerit points
The points the player will face taking into account his playing record but excluding carry-over points.

Early plea
If the player enters an early plea to the offence and accepts the grading, the player is entitled to a reduction of 25 per cent of the base penalty and also a similar reduction in any increases due to other previous offences. A player can enter an early plea up until midday on the day following the charge.

Alternatively, the player may prefer to have the charge heard by the panel by either entering a not guilty or guilty plea but dispute the grading. If found guilty at the subsequent hearing, the player receives no reduction unless the panel reduces the grading. If the player pleads guilty but disputes the grading and the panel does reduce the grading, the player also receives the benefit of the early plea discount.

Guilty
The points normally awarded should the player be found guilty by the judiciary panel.

6a. Prior similar offences
If the player has been convicted of the same or similar offence in the two-year period immediately preceding the incident, the player is liable to an increase equivalent to 50 per cent of the base penalty for each previous offence. For the offence of a Careless High Tackle Grade 1, players only carry this loading for a 12-month period.

6b. Prior non-similar offences
Further, if the player has been previously convicted of an offence other than the same offence in the two-year period immediately preceding the incident, the player is liable to an increase equivalent to 20 per cent of the base penalty for each previous offence. For the offence of a Careless High Tackle Grade 1, players only carry this loading for a 12-month period.

7. Carry-over points
Note when reading the charge sheet, the carry-over points are always added to the penalty points to determine the penalty to be served.

Contrary conduct is used whenever an offense doesn't fit into any of the charges already laid out. It's a bit of a nuffy charge, only to be used when we've got to do something but we didn't think of 'this' sistuation.

 The system is a joke. You get 9 weeks for the most dangerous high tackle or throw but the maximum u can get for kicking is 6 weeks. what the???? they just need a panel and decide each case as it comes. the grading system is laughable.

I think it works the other way. You get charged and contest it to lower the points, the points are not lowered for an early plea.
