How
Summarized version
Warner polled for the first time in round four. Heeney finished equal-eighth on 26 votes, ahead of teammate Errol Gulden, who ended the season with five consecutive best-afield performances.
Headline check
One of the two things this headline claims did not turn up in the report.
“Banned” is named in the headline. We could not find it in the report.
Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. Names are matched as they are spelled, so a report that says “New South Wales” where the headline says “NSW” is queried here when it should not be. How this is checked
