All the officials involved in that game should be brought in and given a bollocking; aside from this incident, the whole game was woefully managed, not least the Tansey cop-out and the Cas players failing to get back onside for the drop-out - that happened directly in front of Alibert and his touch judge, neither of whom saw fit to deal with it.

I'm not one to constantly bag the officials, but this one was beyond the pale.

As mentioned the interchanges are monitored by an official on the sideline not the ref, so can't really blame Alibert for that. But he can be blamed for bottling the Tansey decision. Should have been a straight red. So in a way Salford having 14 men on sort of evened it up for the fact Cas should have had 12.

Bit strange that cas waited till today to lodge a complaint. Almost like they knew nothing about it till they saw this thread....

I seem to remember there being a brief moment a few years ago when Leigh had 14 men on the pitch though it was only as they passed each other near the side line, I think they may have been fined.

You do realise it was announced early this morning that they were complaining. Before this thread was even posted.....

An individual with a Castleford connection saw this at the time and he mentioned it to me immediately after the game.
The fact that it wasn't mentioned by anyone else,in particular Danny Orr,after the game on the Saturday evening does seem to suggest that not only the match officials were oblivious to what had occurred.
It is also the case that the Castleford directors were directly behind the individual who saw what had occurred.
I suspect your club received the information from the media.
