That's a harsh penalty.

40-40 is a ridiculous scoreline.

It really is comforting to know that referees don't even know what the rules are

Bentham strikes again!! Disgusting decision.

Total clanger by Bentham there robbed a point from Catalans because he forgot the rules

Not so sure it was harsh. The ruling is if you don't know you are tackled, you play again. He was on the floor, stopped, and a player laying on his legs. He took a chance at cheating by getting up and running. Clear penalty for mine.

Was the suggestion not that Escare knew he was tackled, and feigned the not being tackled to waste time? That was my read of the situation ...

And what rule is that then? The tackle is complete, he's got up and carried on running. It's a penalty.

I've seen many of those before and the ref makes them go back and play the ball.

If he doesn't hear the call from the ref then he goes back to play the ball... as Cummings explained.

How bad is it that a professional sporting referee doesn't know the rules of his game.. absolutely ridiculous. What will happen for his incompetence? nothing..

Yeah I think that should be a penalty. I'm all for going back when a ball is offloaded just as the ref calls held or if there's some doubt as to whether the guy is held......but he was clearly tackled and had the Salford player on his legs.

Stupid play from Escare and rightly punished imo.

Up until 2 seasons ago, it was a penalty but, for 2 seasons, play goes back to the original tackle and ptb. : nice one ref
