Our fans and players were actually remonstrating to umpires at the time and umpire Leigh Fisher ignored it. Some Dawks fans were claiming they had one short on the field as a defence, but no Dawks ran into the F50 until after the next restart.
They were able to get 6 to the full back line and run out of defense whilst we were content to keep entering deeply.
In any case, if that is true and you are one short on the field, is that legal under the current rules?
