NRL rejects Bulldogs bid to have two point deduction overturned

Exclusive by Josh Massoud | April 03, 2009 05:00pm



THE NRL has today rejected the Bulldogs' submission to have two points deducted for illegally fielding 14 men overturned. NRL boss David Gallop told Bulldogs CEO Todd Greenberg of the verdict this afternoon.
The Belmore club will now have to gain leave to appeal to have the matter heard before NRL Appeals Committee head Sir Laurence Street.

The Bulldogs are expected to apply for leave next week.

"It was a major breach of the rules and there's little alternative given the circumstances than to deduct the points,'' Gallop said.

The breach occured in the dying stages of the Bulldogs round two win over Penrith, when skipper Andrew Ryan was inadvertantly called back onto the field as his team's 14th player. The Bulldogs then scored the winning try with an extra man.

What do u know the nrl is inconsistent again? This is bull**** we better appeal this because gallop knows ****

 

[holbi]

WTF, How is this a major breach, the error did not affect the play whatsoever. This makes this as bad as breaking the salaary cap by $1.5 mil. What a farking farce, Gallop is an idiot, this decision does nothing to promote the game.

 

[Renegade]

Gallop you pathetic excuse for a CEO. The Dogs get ripped off again. You cant beat me em cheat em.

"MAJOR breach?" U are a twat gallop

 

[Bob dog]

If we cannot get fair refereeing every week, how can we expect the NRL to show us some mercy at the appeals tribunal? We will win this week.

The thing that annoys me most is the inconsistency of the NRL. If we lost them fairly then I would cop it, but this is just crap. I hope the club continues to appeal it
