You can have a situation where you have a physio, water carrier and coach from each side all on the pitch at the same time.

Only at a break in play. As I understand it, during play, the defence aren't allowed coaches or water carriers on and physios only to attend to a player that's gone down.

You are clearly wrong

Yes quite, Briers is obviously the only one ever to have done it, imagine the length of this 'vital' thread if Warrington had actually won?

With the advent of 24 hour news everything has to be sensationalised to get noticed. File this with with faux hysteria around forward passes, inconsistent refereeing, wrestling, grappling, slowing down the PTB, chicken wing, taking out kickers after the kick, cannonball tackles, high tackles, not square at PTB, not playing the ball, play acting/diving.

It's all part of the training at Wire, Gary Mercer made Briers look like a lightweight, literally.
Perhaps they should fine them for having 14 players on the pitch.

It was just embarrassing

I've got to say I'm struggling to think of instances where the defences coaches or water carriers were on. It's usually the attacking team's because the defence's run the risk of getting in the way.

Although tackling wasn't the strongest part of his game, he was on there so long that he would have probably tried to make a tackle if KR had broken the line

More faux hysteria about faux hysteria.

What's actually happening here in the real world is that people are discussing things - on an internet message board set up to facilitate the discussion of things. Go figure.

6 pages because some bloke from the coaching staff of a club is on the pitch. Get a life.

Continuously contributing to discussions with an affected world weariness about the discussion and/or the people discussing it, because the matter is apparently beneath discussion and not worth discussing. Get a life.

....and yet you can't see the irony in your post! Some folk really are thicker than the average bear!
