Lol... Genius!

I don't think this one can be laid at Alibert's door - isn't the management of subs the job of a touchline official; as I understand it, they hold up a card and don't hand it back until the player coming off is actually off the field.

Someone is due a bollocking, but I don't think it'll be Uncle Albert - at least not for this particular incident.

it does require investigating. considering a 15th player is stood on the sidelines there - has he just come off?????

Funniest thing is that Cas still have an overlap

haha

Of course it needs investigating but surely it's the official on te side who's job that is? I'm a Salford fan and was at the game, there is a official who's only job as far as I see every week is to count the replacements & let them on & off. If he was doing his job right it wouldn't have happened. If we end up losing te points in will be outrageous, it wouldn't have affected the game as muc as you lot having 12 men so we were due an extra man anyway!!

Its just plain wrong and its unfair but nowt will happen other than a piddly fine and a slapped wrist.

As bad as halibut is, how is this his fault? He may count them on the commencement of both halves but after that he's a little too busy to be constantly counting.

I agree it the fourth official and Salford at fault

Its not necessarily the 4th officials fault, every game an interchange official turns up as well, nothing to do with rfl, he is just a local ref who goes that week, normally he does the subs of the home team, the 4th official normally does the away team, and the 4th official writes down who comes on and off, but if he cant see who goes on or off the interchange official is supposed to go up to him and say 10 off 8 on etc, it is then logged for future reference.

He has a folder and the dugout has the cards with numbers on, the player is given the numbered card to give to the io/4th official when he goes onto field, but he is not allowed to do the sub until the player coming off is either within 10m and advancing to touchline or gone off from a try etc behind the sticks or taken off over the far touchline by the doc/physio.

The i/o is meant to stand there quietly watching and getting ready for subs and not allowed to clap etc when a try is scored, but sometimes you cant help it..i know of one who screamed abuse at ganson when he did it at bradford and was shouted at by the m c.

any news on this?

£10k fine, shambles

That's a big fine considering saints only got a couple of hundred for the same thing?

£5000 pounds a point, the RFL should give you the money seeing as you were the ones robbed.
