After a four-hour hearing in front of the ARU Conduct Tribunal, Quade Cooper has been found guilty of two charges of bringing the code into disrepute following his controversial statements.
Cooper has copped a three match ban (suspended for two years), plus a huge up front fine of $40,000, with a further $20,000 suspended for two years.
The fines were for social media comments ($10,000) and social media and general media comments ($50,000), totalling $60,000.
Cooper is expected to deliver a short statement following the announcement of his suspended ban and substantial fine.

It's a pathetic outcome.

40k fine that hurts abit
“Everyone knows whether it’s rugby, politics or whatever, front-rowers should rule the world, so to have a hooker at the helm makes sense,” Nathan Charles Western Force & Wallabies Hooker.
Nice compromise
coz Stone Cold says so
What's the bet that the Reds foot the bill. 40k will be like boot money to QC.
Bloody pathetic if you ask me. Knowing that bunch of tossers at HQ they have probably increased his top up to cover it.
I suppose that answers the question of how much is Cooper worth to the ARU.
May the FORCE be with you!
this is gutless IMO. He's committed treason and it is not the first time. He's not bigger than the team, club, nation or game.
If you mouth off at an official, strike an opponent, or flip the bird, you insult maybe one or two, one ref, one opponent and 1 crowd sledger - but you'll cop more than 4 weeks if you show no remorse.
Fulvio will put me right on this one...Cooper has insulted the Wallabies, the ARU and us fans and shown no remorse. ?????
Well said Hansie
May the FORCE be with you!
I wonder what the players think..
Nathan never has a bad word to say about anyone..but undoubtedly he's probably shaking his head..![]()
Curiously, Where does the fine go?
Charity? Or back to QRU? Or the ARU?
