They have been issued with a breach notice on why they shouldn't lose the points.

Broncos will appeal.

Bruno Cullen was just on 4BC & he said they will appeal.

1. The ref didn't stop play while a player was injured

2. Corey Parker was told he could go on the field after being told twice before he couldn't.

If they lose the appeal they will appeal to Sir Lawrence Street & if they lose that, they will take civil action.

Bruno said he could not repeat what he said to David Gallop when Gallop rang him up to tell him the news.

As a tigers fan I would like to say that the whole situation is a load of BULLSHIT!

Webcke made no input to the teams performance at the time when there were 14 players on the field, thus, I can't see the reason why we should be appealing the decision.

All this is doing is making us tigers look like a mob of whinging sooks looking for a reason why we lost that is not related to on-field performances by Wests Tigers players.

The player that came on, Corey Parker, was asked THREE times not to get involved in the play.

Three (3) times!!!

Then he scored the try that helped you win.
You won't win the appeal on this one sorry.

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.

The Tigers are not the ones who are doing this. The Tigers and their players are fully behind the Broncos keeping their points and feel this is all BS too.

Sattler was on the news pretty much saying just what I said. It's the NRL officials who are pressing this and taking the points. Thats despite any team that has said anything about what happened saying they should keep the points.

Shayne Hayne cocked up AGAIN play should've been stopped till Webcke had left the field, it's that simple, how can you penalise the team had been wronged by making them play with 12 men till a replacement gets on the field? there's no way the NRL can make that stick surely?

BONCOS deserve to lose the two points, just becuase the referee made a blunder, DOES NOT mean the Boncos can as well, by fielding a player who was told THREE times not to go onto the field!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*too many "!" edited out*
The Boncos did the WRONG thing and are now paying the price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D

Kingytek,
I was talking about the general state of the NRL. Between the BUlldogs antics and the continual stuff ups from the people running the game it is nothing more than a joke in the eyes of most people.
