I think what can happen is that if a player reacts in a violent manner, even if he does have the penalty, it can be reversed. On that occasion I think the penalty should have been reversed and given to the Roosters!
I remember going through this at ref's training. Their reasoning was braith committed the crusher or chicken wing or what ever it was and the ref blew the penalty, as he was blowing it faalongo got up and hit him. Faalongo got binned for taking it into his own hands, braith got penalised for illegal play which lead to the punch.
We always hear ref's say "don't come in and get it overturned", can anyone think of a time it has actually happened?
