Tatong went to the media and the league accusing Bonnie Doon of playing an unregistered player. All Bonnie Doon players that played on Saturday were registered players however this is what happened. Player A was selected in the side and put on the team sheet prior to the game, with 5 minutes before the game was due to start there was no sign of player A. Fortunately we had another player there who had not been selected but had played two senior games earlier in the year and was registered, we played that player but were unable to change the name on the team sheet.
Think you will find JAM is that with Tatong disputing it, there was an umpires report put through with the results. The media get access to the results (and any match/umpires reports) after at 6pm on the Saturday (same as with the selected teams on the Thursday nights) which is how the Border got onto it straight away.
Wasn't there, don't know the story. Only heard (you know chinese whispers style) Tatong questioned whether the player was who was named on the teamsheet &/or registered asked to league to check up on it. Don't think they expected the whole media sh*tstorm that has brewed up.
