broncos are crap whinging morons get over it
oh by the way ... WHO CHEAT AND DISOBEY OFFICIALS

for the last time... it is HEAR_SAY!!!!!!!! for Christs sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The interchange official SAID he told parker he couldn't go on.

Parker said he HEARD nothing and went on.

THERE IS NO PROOF. It's the official's word vs. Parkers. Got it through our thick heads yet? Sheeeesh!

Simply, i don't think the Broncos should lose the points, i'm simply pointing out the pointlessness of this thread.

so if Webcke was on a medicab no drama's.

Seems very stupid to take the points of Brisbane now.

For a start if Parker came on the field before Webcke left the field, and play didn't restart until Webcke had gone off then there wouldn't be a problem. In fact, as Annesley said, even if play had restarted and the Broncos hadn't scored, they wouldn't have lost their points, as the impact on the game would have been minimal.

Plenty of sides in the past, including the Broncos, have only been fined for having 14 players on the field. Those sides the impact wasn't as great. If you want it to automatically have 2 pts deducted then the Broncos should have their 2000 premiership stripped away, as during the year, a game they won they were only fined for an interchange breach.

Secondly, as has been mentioned before a player isn't classed as being on the field if no part of his body is touching the ground AND he isn't touching the ball.

The difference is, play was stopped and the melbourne player was told to go on.
