How neither the onfield ref or Bentham deemed that just a penalty for 'a mistimed tackle' god only knows. That decision then set the tone for the rest of the game. Had Shaul not had his arms up to catch the ball he'd have likely had his head taken off. The ref needed to show authority at that point and failed. The yellow cards after that were a joke and made a mockery of the earlier decision not to use the card. No point throwing cards around like confetti afterwards either as it just fuelled the nigglely stuff. We got dragged into the scrap that Featherstone seemed to want late on, Faramino was dumb and needs to be smarter.
Costly win all round really.
