Eels star Kenny Edwards has been banned for seven matches and fined $60,000 after pleading guilty to assault charges earlier this week.
Edwards faced domestic assault charges after pouring a drink over his former partner’s head during an argument.
The more serious charge of domestic violence was dropped and he pleaded guilty to common assault.
No conviction was recorded.

Edwards will be eligible to play in round 8.
“Our club needs to show support to Kenny and his family from a rehabilitative perspective — he is part of our Parramatta Eels family; and exercise fair and reasonable discipline in order to reinforce to Kenny that we all need to take personal responsibility for our actions and behave to certain standards in accordance with our club values of integrity, respect and excellence,” the Eels said in a statement.
