Have cas commented on this?

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.

Cas have complained and it is being investigated by RFL. Statement to follow tomorrow. www.sportinglife.com/rugby-leagu ... ary-action

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.

Loving the mock outrage over this. #PrayforCas

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

Salford played 35 seconds ( 3 sets ) with a player who shouldn't have been on the field .( between 76.33- 77.0icon_cool.gif

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.
