Quote ="Fax Machine"Cut the sarcasm DUK. All anyone wanted was clarification. I'm sure that if this had happened to any team bar Leigh you would feel the same way. You have to admit that it is a fairly unusual set of circumstances. Firstly, I don't ever remember a sub being sent off before when he's not actually on the field (although Duffy was, wasn't he?) and, [size=150secondly, could you point me at the rule which says, if this should happen, that it doesn't reduce the number of players allowed to be on the field at any given time.[/size'"
As I think has been mentioned earlier in the thread, when we (Leigh) played featherstone their substitute got carded for putting off our kicker as he was waiting to come on. The ref saw him putting off Nanyn and carded him before the substition could be made. This left 'Fev with 13 men on the pitch but they couldn't use that substitute for 10 minutes (which was pointless as their was only about a minute left!)
