The punishment should have been done on the field. It was bad - he should have been sinbinned or red carded or put on report. Not penalised and the game continue.
It seems the referees have this safety net to use so they don't have to make big decisions on the field. It was unfair to Cas who should have had an advantage because of it - not the next team we play (if he'd been given a ban of course.)
