Both were penalties and neither player "conned the ref"
Farrell clearly did and Matty Peet has admitted that, saying his players need to do better, but it's what they've been forced to do as the ref's aren't seeing them. It was such a minor touch and clearly didn't hurt him in any way. As soon as the whistle went he jumped up quicker than a kid on Christmas morning. The second one was just embarassing from Farrell and he really should get at least a warning if not a ban for that. Farrell is getting a reputation for it, which should see the referees ignoring him in future.
Sironen, for all your accusations of cheating, did go onto his hands and knees to get up and play the ball. You can then see him exhale and visibly struggle, at which point he's probably told to go down. He's had the wind knocked out of his sails there, there's no cheating from him, but savy play from whoever told him to stay down.
