GUFFAW etc.

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.

Natural instinct is to turn away duck if someone throws a shot at you . as the photo shows

Briers was in front of Ablett and managed to swing a punch so that he ended up behind him facing the same way?

Once again, Briers swings from the side of Ablett, with Abletts head (but not his body turned towards him) Briers was coming from behind Ablett, and ends up behind him again as Ablett goes away from Briers and Briers moves back towards where he came from in the same direction as his swing.

Delusional.

Strangely enough the Disciplinary appear to have accepted the facts of the matter and have ignored the bile that's coming out of you.

But you cant realistically turn 180 degrees in the time it takes someone to swing so that someone who started to swing in front of you, finishes up their swing behind you facing the same way.

Strangely enough the disciplinary have made no mention of it and im not sure why you think a realistic description of what happened is classed as bile.

Im also not sure why you are being so protective of Briers when the only real criticism I have made of him (rather than the disciplinary) is the fact he punches like a small child.

I'm not. I actually put on the Wire Site that the punch was so poor that he must have been coached by Audley Harrison. I'm sure you'll agree with that point.

It was an awful punch

wardle was retaliating to ablett though after getting a knee to the face in the tackle.

dont forget he got a red card and a 3 match ban, compare with the others and looks harsh

no i said thats disgusting, get rid of him... and we did, sent him to london broncos

This controversy could all have been avoided had the on-field ref not wet himself.
All it needed was a sin-binning for Briers.
No over-reaction to a bit of biff but doesn't ignore it.

Which excuses the RFL inaction. Not.

There isn't RFL inaction. They've charged him with a grade A, which carries 1 game. Briers can submit an early guilty plea because he qualifies through a good disciplinary record. You can't compare him to Ryan Bailey, who has a poor record and therefore cannot currently submit an EGP if he gets sent off or cited again. Nor can you compare it to the Wardle incident as he put in a whole series of blows and got charged with another offence.
Quite straightforward really, but there are those on here with their own agenda who simply can't see it.
