This from today.
Black player tackled, tackler released, rolled away. No jackler, no one else around, tackled player still lying on the floor, looks around then picks up the ball and goes through the gate. Speeds away heading for the line.....I whistle.........
I gave a penalty for playing the ball on the floor as "it didn't look right".
Thought about it on the way back and felt I probably got it wrong, as surely he had the right to do that.
comments please (preferably polite ones).
