Hamilton and the Blues elected not to fight his latest charge, but instead took the three-week suspension on offer after being cited by CSU over a head but.

The three weeks means he’s been deregistered for life after exceeding the 16-game limit.

Hamilton was two games shy of the national deregristration mark following an eight-week ban stemming from last year’s grand final.

He made an impassioned plea at the tribunal following the decider to be allowed to play on and change his ways.

However, he was cited in his first game back this season, again against East Wagga-Kooringal, but was cleared of two charges, striking and head butting, last month.

With video evidence over his clash with Jordan Ackland on August 12, the Blues decided against fighting the charge.

President Shane Mannes thought the video was damning.

“The video footage was fairly conclusive,” Mannes said.

While disappointed another ugly incident has ended the big man’s career, the Blues thought it was best not to fight his latest charge.

“It is disappointing for sure,” Mannes said. “I can’t say he was happy and we deliberated for a long time, but decided it was the way to go.”

While free to play in the last game of the season against Temora, Hamilton elected to sit out.

Offered a base sanction of four weeks, down to three with an early guilty plea, Coleambally made the call on Monday.

It ends two action-packed seasons with Coleambally after he led them to their first grand final in 10 years.

Meanwhile, Turvey Park assistant coach Truman Carroll was banned for three weeks after being cited by Coolamon over a high tackle.

He had already taken the penalty before the Bulldogs’ game against Wagga Tigers, meaning he will now miss the game against Griffith and the first game of next season.

Barellan's Malcolm Fernie will miss two weeks after being cited for rough conduct, a sling tackle, on The Rock-Yerong Creek’s Daniel Steele.
