You're absolutely right.
I thought the same about the Bentley incident with Cooper. Cooper shoulder charged him and it was deemed a knock-on. Had Bentley stayed down for treatment probably would have got a penalty after the incident had been seen again by the video ref. The again, we were playing at Warrington so probably not....
The opposite goes for the Lees incident. Had Roberts just got up nothing would have been said.
