This is also happened when Souths had 14th man controversy in earlier rounds. So Queensland had 14 at one point last night.. And this SMH article has repeated how it reported the situation, and this time, and it's what compelled me to post, it's gone out of its way to "gloss over what:
There's a notion of "lies" by omission that the media do all the time. So here, as with the SMH story over the Rabbits, and other such occurrences in the recent past, they fail to mention that Canterbury missed out on the Minor Premiership, including dismissing an impassioned defence by the club to avoid it during the season.
But now they are also adding in the situation with the Broncos , as if to suggest we weren't the only club to lose points. Again, a lie by omission, because the Broncos ultimately had their points re-instated, a clear double standard:
Note too, here, they dropped the year that it occurred for us, but not the Broncos. In my view, an attempt to make it harder for the uninformed to investigate for themselves. Here's the Rabbits article actually, and they do mention the Broncos too. But this is a more recent thing (to mention the Broncos incident) still:
Correct me if I'm wrong, so far we are the only club to have ever been docked points for the offense in the NRL era, and it's such a disgrace for us to be so because of what it cost us, that there is an unsaid rule to whitewash this NRL shame.
Also, I know I am citing only the Sydney Morning Herald here, but, obviously because I'm triggered each time, whenever an incident of a 14th man happens, I read articles from all over, and they do pretty much the same thing.
Yes, I know, I'm a fucking bitter old man. But the double standard policing of the Dogs continues to this day. And even if it's screaming into the wind, we have to make sure this knowledge is never lost.
Maroons to count the cost of 14th man bungle
Only a month after NRL CEO Andrew Abdo fumed at a South Sydney mistake, it’s happened again. Now Queensland is under investigation for having an extra player on the field.

Rabbitohs will keep points but cop a fine for playing up to 15 seconds with extra man
The NRL will review the incident in full on Monday, but there is no intention to deduct competition points. A hefty fine, however, is expected for Souths having 14 players on the field for two plays of Friday night’s win over the Broncos.
