The National Rugby League has warned clubs they face the loss of competition points if they field unregistered players after slapping the Bulldogs with a $10,000 fine.
Dogs halfback Brett Oliver wasn't correctly registered with the NRL when he took the field as a replacement during his side's 50-4 thrashing of Melbourne at Sydney Showground yesterday. NRL chief executive David Gallop says in this case a fine is sufficient punishment because Oliver had been registered at the club through the New South Wales Rugby League.
Penrith copped a $10,000 fine for the same offence in June when fullback Steve Turner played first grade before his registration with the NRL had been finalised.
