| Quote SmokeyTA="SmokeyTA"He hasnt turned his body away, it doesnt really show it on one picture but that is the direction Ablett was going he didn’t really turn his body in any direction (though he did turn his head and try and defend himself.
Im not sure why or how people could argue that Briers isn’t attacking him from behind, the picture quite is from dead-on, it shows Briers behind Ablett and coming around the side.
As I have said I have no problem with the charge as it is, I do have a problem with that charge being inconsistent with what has been given before, and what will be given in the future.
Fact is, someone who doesn’t hit like a little girl could have caused serious damage doing exactly what Briers did and having a situation where the result determines what the punishment leaves us in a situation where it becomes a better outcome for Ablett for him to feign injury. That isn’t what we want either. What Briers did was dangerous and it put Ablett at risk of injury, the next person to do what Briers did may not be so lucky and they will probably face a huge ban and I don’t think that is right either.'"

Briers is not behind Ablett.

he clearly is behind, and coming round, look at the other picture, Briers legs are behind Abletts or look at teh video and sequence of events. Im not saying he punched him in the back of the head, but he clearly, and obviously punched him coming around the side from behind.

Just out of interest, what charge do you believe would have been sufficient?

I don’t really have a problem with the charge he got, I just think A) it should have been dealt with at the time, I cannot see why Child didn’t at all. He cant say he was unsighted or there was some kind dispute. And B) it doesn’t seem in-line with what we have seen from similar incidents before.
If this is how such an action will be judged in the future, I don’t really have a problem with it. But as I say, we will likely, in probably the near future see an incident where someone does something nearly identical and we will see a punishment wildly out of line with a one match ban reduced to a fine for an EGP.

That's two pictures that are lying now. Give it a rest, you're just embarrassing yourself.

You complete and absolute idiot. Briers was in front of Ablett. as Briers swung, Ablett turned away, as most people would, to deflect the blow. Why can't you just get over it. Warrington beat leeds, Leeds get a second chance this week against Saints, end of story.
