Rabbitohs Under NRL Investigation For Playing With an Extra Man Last Night

[Alfreddo]

And no I'm not talking about the referee lol


The South Sydney Rabbitohs are being investigated by the NRL after playing with 14 men for a period of their 32-6 win over the Brisbane Broncos.

It is understood the Rabbitohs had the extra man on the field for around 30 seconds, or around three plays in possession of the ball.

If this was Manly we would be stripped of the competition points.

Nothing to see here. NRL investigates and finds nothing. Move on because it's the chosen one.

 

[Rafferty]

Precedents well established, there goes the 2 points.

 

[BOZO]

The way the Rabbits played they could have beaten the donkeys with 11 men

 

[Alfreddo]

So the Rabbitohs actually had 14 on 12 in that brief period in question because the Broncos still had a player in the bin

The precedence I assume you’re speaking of,Bulldogs in 2009?Difference then was that the Dogs scored the winning try whilst they had 14 on the field and the clubs controlled the interchange,not an NRL official.I suspect the Rabbits will only receive a fine,given the game situation and the NRL official will be scapegoated

 

[Alfreddo]

Teams have lost their competition points in the past because of this haven't they? I swear I can remember at least one instance many years ago.

Yes but circumstances were slightly different and it’s a different administration

 

[Tragic Eagle]

The different administration is the key. No points will be docked. I’m glad the Broncos didn’t get another two points. This comp is so close it’s great.

 

[Disco]

Yeah fine sufficient in this instance

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Manly have done that and at worst only copped a fine.

Please put the tin hats away and remember, gamble responsibly.

Who cares mate….I can’t stand the arrogant Broncos!

 

[Alfreddo]

Sorry for posting.

 

[globaleagle]

Sorry for posting.

Actually thanks for posting otherwise I wouldn't have seen it!

For sure the nrl should investigate but if it didn't really effect the game's outcome, they'll probably get a fine. (I think).

 

[globaleagle]

Broncos always have 14 on the field anyway...goes by the name of langer

 

[mickqld]

So the vermin actually had 15 on the field. Whistle clown who can't see theirs and Parra forward passes.

 

[The '47ers]

Don't the NRL have people on the sidelines keeping track of interchanges with those cards etc? Or is it the club's responsibility?

The NRL have a sideline interchange official.

That's why Souths won't lose points.

The last team to lose points was the Dogs from memory, and that was when the clubs were solely in charge of interchanges.

 

[lsz]

No way this should be a points fine

 

[Bearfax]

Yes but circumstances were slightly different and it’s a different administration

And are we talking about one of the favoured clubs hee, or am I mistaken that some seem more equal than others.
