The offence for having more than 13 players on the field in the past has been stripping of competition points - Manly could possibly be looking at that if their players are seen to have entered the field. Melbourne definitely had interchange players enter the field - saw them on the footage. They'll cop a fine for their troubles.
As for suspensions - the NRL is kidding themselves if the following doesn't happen:
Stewarts - both gone (both striking, Glenn possible contrary conduct)
Hinchcliffe (elbow) - possibly a week for striking
Blair - gone (striking, contrary conduct maybe?)
Lussick and Watmough - both maybe one week.
Brett Stewart could be gone anyway with medial ligament tear.
Very little in Hinchcliffes Elbow IMO. Looks worse in slow month.
Lussock is lucky he didn't go on with it. Hinchy would have feckin' pummled him...
