He got three weeks. What a pissweak, fence-sitting option taken by the judiciary. They just needed to decide whether he did it or not, then surely the level of punishment would be obvious:
He didn't do it = no suspension.
He did it = at least 10 weeks out.
What on earth does 3 weeks mean??

Saw the footage on NRL on Fox. And he spat in the air, in the direction of the touchie. Now most of the time, if you're just spitting, you aim straight down at the ground. I've got no doubt McKinnon intentionally spat at the touchie.
I agree schmix, 3 weeks is way too lenient for this. 10 weeks absolute minimum. We can debate whether or not he did it intentionally for years, but fact of the matter is that if he is found guilty he needs a big suspension because spitting is just wrong.

The touchie was just covering his own ass because he missed a blatant forward pass right infront of him.
There is no way of knowing that McKinnon intentionally spat at the touchie, the touchie and the judiciary are just assuming it was intentional only because he spat in the touchies general direction.
I would hate to be trialled for murder infront of this bloody judiciary

It's just typical of the NRL to make a stand on something so stupid, and hit the Warriors for it. They did it in 95, they did it to Ridge in 97. They do it to Brisbane ALL OF THE TIME.
Nevermind the real flaws to the game, or the way Melbourne are continuously putting player's health at risk with knees to the back of the leg, jujitsu style take doesn etc.
Ah well, could be worse, could have been a Kiwi. He woulda got 15 weeks.

Knight escapes spitting charge
"The 26-year-old Hilder was accused of spitting on Quinn in the final minute of the Knights' 17-16 victory in Newcastle last Saturday night. The unsavoury incident prompted a push and shove after the game and required teammates to separate an angry Quinn from a startled Hilder."
And there is video proof of Hilder spitting on Quinn, but Hilder escapes suspension.
Talk about double standards.
Where's the consistency?

You'd think they would have given him a longer suspension if they REALLY thought he did it. Seems a bit soft for someone guilty of that sort of a charge. Spitting is grose....
should always swallow lol
