Watched the game on Trinity TV. There appeared to be some confusion when Trinity awarded a scrum, the ref stopped the clock and ordered an injured Warrington player to the to touch line, I think TC said in his commentary, Chester was calling for a penalty because that player retuned to field of play before trinity’s six tackles set was completed. I have to admit I don’t know this rule, anyone got the answer?

The issue was that he went down injured and all the Warrington players tried to delay the scrum because of it. It wasn't a head injury.
The hooter went because they delayed longer than the shot clock.

I thought that was a penalty but he just made him leave the field a bit like the football rules. Not sure if that was correct or not.
I'd suggest that as he was so keen to come back on, and made the next tackle, that he was just time wasting..... And could have been binned.

Time wasting is a standard Warrington tactic.

It was a strange one. CC was right however we did actually get a penalty but not for that actual infringement. I think it just got lost in the passage of events. So no harm done.

That and diving to the floor when getting up to play the ball to try and win a penalty.

I had to keep checking there were no snipers around

It's quite pathetic watching someone as destructive as BMM fall to the ground at the slightest touch at the PTB. It's like Davide Ginola who has such incredible balance as a footballer until he got in the penalty area.

Thought he was pretty good throughout and not just because we managed to win.
