As far as I am aware they are only allowed on the pitch during period of attack from their team. They are given a grace to get of the pitch once a hand over occurs. I just think it noticed it more this weekend for him trying to get the tackles refreshed when one of the Warrington lads touch the ball (or not) in the pass
Trainers/physios etc are allowed on the pitch at any time (in the interest of player welfare). Dont think the ref can actually do anything about it. What can be done is the club can be fined when the incidents are reported by the match commissioner.
The physio (orange jersey) is allowed on the pitch at any time to attend to injured players.
The trainer (yellow jersey) is allowed on the pitch when the team is in possession of the ball, to make an interchange. They must only stay on the pitch for a maximum of three play the balls. They cannot go on the pitch to only take messages on, but teams get around this by sending their physio with messages as they can go on at any time.
Some teams play by the rules and the trainer goes on when they are allowed, some teams send their trainer on whenever and leave it upto the officials to tell them not to go on.
