A total of nine weeks worth of bans have been meted out to four Holden Cup under-20s rugby league players following Saturday night’s ugly all-in brawl at Campbelltown Stadium.

The NRL came down hard on the brawlers after two players were sent off and another two were sin-binned during the Wests Tigers-Canberra game.

All the players involved took early guilty pleas on Tuesday, accepting a range of bans.

Canberra’s Tahakilu Pangai and teammate Mitchell Barnett each received three-match suspensions emanating from the brawl.

The Tigers’ Nathan Brown, who was sent off but initially refused to leave the field, took a two-match ban.

His teammate Kyle Lovett accepted a one-game suspension.

NRL boss David Smith had issued all clubs a warning in the wake of Paul Gallen’s State of Origin I scuffle with Nate Myles that fighting would not be tolerated.

Under the game’s new no-biff policy, players will automatically be sin-binned for throwing a punch, the crackdown including the Holden Cup.
