Hang on a second - the Warriors lost their points in 1995 for the same thing. Their maiden victory. The one that would have put them in the 8 in their debut year.
The rules are rules. Everyone knows them, Brisbane ignored them. If the Warriors lost their points, and I understand previously the Cowboys and Souths have, so shall Brisbane. No doubt Mr Bennett will say its a travesty and the NRL are anti Brisbane blah blah blah, but rules are rules. Theres no place for ignorance.
We as the Warriors learnt it at a very special time, so shall the Broncos.
