Yep looking like a tough big guy shaping up to a little fella. I’m sure he’ll cop some decent sledging from some of the big boys from now on

I just laugh at it. I love a bit of nonsense and drama in my league. I like Jack because he's a lunatic. I'm just glad he's not our lunatic anymore. He'll cop a few weeks and a nice fine.

He did 10 runs for a total of 56 metres, barely 5m per run, so yeah, probably hard to see him given he was swamped by blue and white jerseys most of the time.

I think if Mahoney looked at him he would of hit him but Mahoney didn’t look up until he pushed him

Jack Hetherington facing ban over Reed Mahoney tunnel altercation
Newcastle forward Jack Hetherington is facing a one-game ban over his off-field altercation with Bulldogs hooker Reed Mahoney.
Hetherington and Mahoney clashed in the tunnel at Accor Stadium after both were sin binned in the final minutes of their clash on Sunday afternoon.
The match review committee looked into the incident on Monday morning and charged Hetherington with contrary conduct.

Don’t think that would be an issue for Jack

James Graham gets 5 or 6 weeks for pointing a finger at a ref and Hetherington gets 1 week for trying to start a fight in the "car park"

Bupa got 4 weeks and it was 2 charges, not 1.
1 of them was 3 weeks for dissent - abuse against officials has always been dimly viewed. I don’t see how the two events can be compared personally.

There’s a sh!t ton of old Bulldogs players who wouldn’t cop that sh!t… add Kevin Ryan, Peter Tunks, Billy Johnson, Jarrod McCracken, Solomon Haumono, SBW, Mark O’Meley, Bruce Maguire, Frank Pritchard, David Gillespie, Dean Pay, Robbo etc… we had many take no sh!t footy players… and I’d say that list wouldn’t care what era it was, it would be on for young and old!!

The mistake in all this is with the Newcastle dressing room staff who should have ensured Jack went into the room and stayed there.
Whether or not Peter Gough did the right thing in sending them to the bin Is debatable, but leaving a time gap between them going off is the right way to handle it and has been for years.

So Mahoney walks into the tunnel minding his own business and then cops a small jab in the chest from that derrick **** and cops a $1000 fine?? wtf is that all about?
But will the new Knights Coach, whoever it is, pick him?
"Terror Under the Grandstand!"
* Player: 6 week suspension.
* 2 competition point deduction
* $500k fine.
...and that'd just be Monday.

It's called assault, if the trainers weren't there Hetherington would've continued on with it or at the very least gave that perception.
Example below, even though they're boxers and punch each other during a fight, all those conditions are off once the fight has ended (or in Hetherington's case, when he left the field)
James Butler (boxer) - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
As the two men waited for the results, Butler asked for his gloves to be cut off. After Grant was announced the winner, Butler stood in his corner seeming unpleased by the decision. Grant then made his way over to Butler to congratulate him for his effort, but Butler sucker punched the unsuspecting Grant with a right hook that dropped him to the floor. Grant lay dazed on the ring mat and bleeding from the mouth while broadcasters Bob Papa and Teddy Atlas called out for Butler to be arrested on assault charges. ...... and Butler was eventually convicted of assaulting Grant and spent four months in Rikers Island.
There's no room for those actions and the NRL should have come down hard on it, it's up there with the highest offence IMO. Because had a punch up had actually happened off the field, that's when the police become involved for assault.

Honestly the dumbest fine ever. Surely he will fight it (no pun intended)
