Yep...but someone needs to point out to the good Dr that he can't "buy" an extra player on the pitch with it!

Sm to remember I think a Halifax, well Yorkshire team anyway, water carrier involved in a tackle when Warrington attacking. It's rare.... Yorkshire = cheats

Can you tell roughly how long they had the 14 men on the pitch for?

Salford played 35 seconds ( 3 sets ) with a player who shouldn't have been on the field .( between 76.33- 77.08)

Castleford Played 19 minutes with a player who shouldn't have been on the field, who was guilty of denying Salford a try with an dangerous challenge and contributed to breaks that resulted in two further Castleford Tries afterwards. and Castleford have put in an official complaint ..
Tansey put in an early guilty plea for a 1 match ban .

All in all a complete mess .
As mentioned there's precident, Saints in 2006 were fined £100 for a similar incident , but I don't know at what stage of the game , or how close the result was.

Tricky one for the RFL. The precedents don't suggest much of a penalty, but looking at that photo, the extra man was being utilised in defence quite significantly at a crucial point in the game. Would Cas have found a gap in those 3 tackles if there had been just 13 on? Tricky.

FWIW, the club are the ones that may be in trouble, not the interchange official.

As a trainer, I have to let the IC official know we are going to make a change, the player is given a card by us with the number of his interchange. The player walks down the sideline with the IC official and when the player coming off is seen by the IC to be off the pitch he will take the card from the ongoing player and hold it up to the crowd.

I cannot understand how a player got on unless the club's sideline staff did not inform the IC official.


In the NRL, you can acutally be fined if you throw the card at the IC official and also, you MUST put it in their hand. I've seen players called back off the pitch to be told to picked up a dropped card and place it in their hand.

Never! we have dealt with too much realism over the years I demand satisfaction! Let us play with 14 men, let us smash the salary cap. World domination will be ours!! Mwahahahhahbannahahaha.
