| quite ironic seeing as the wire fans were calling us a couple of weeks ago whilst defending their players angelic behaviour.
i agreed then that tommy lee should have seen red for his "thuggish attack on briers", likewise bridge should have seen red yesterday.
play hard,play tough but bridge overstepped that mark last night.

It's hardly 'man tries to gouge opponents eyes out for no reason whatsoever' is it?'"
Man gets kicked in nackers? Sure, bridge might want to think again on his tackling technique (he may have caught a stray boot but jeffries certainly didn't kick him).
...if only it was one or two, unfortunately it's more than that.

| He went down using the forearm - loads of players do exactly the same thing using the shoulder after they've dropped a player. While not clever, when you watch the replay he is heading down with a straight forearm onto the chest, but hits the ball which changes his arm angle making it look a lot worse than it actually was.
It was probably as dangerous as Kevin Brown's elbow into Bridge's throat two weeks ago - which the RFL gave him a slap on the wrist for. Saying that the RFL hate us so i see a ban coming.
What i posted on the Wire forum. For what it's worth Bridge has always had a hot headed side to him. No intent to injure last night, just over aggressive defence.

I refer the honourable gentleman to the case of Tommy Lee v Lee Briers two weeks ago.
Both men should have walked but I suppose it's a form of 'refereeing consistency' which is what fans scream for.

Just like Ablett was sent off for the elbow in his face? I think not.

| Quote: Enicomb "I didn't say 'typical wire fan' - I said a large amount of wire fans; as unfortunately, a large amount are defending it, some just completely sweeping it under the carpet. I didn't suggest you or any other are part of that portion of fans; some people are needlessly defensive - yes sadly it is a large amount in general but the relevance in this thread is wire and some statements made are pretty galling.'"
The majority of Wire comments on this ( including mine ) have agreed that Bridge should have walked. We have disputed calls for a 4-8 match ban, fair enough given what Tommy Lee received for a worse offence.

He said a "large amount". That's an indefinite amount so can mean anything he wants it to mean. It doesn't have to mean "majority".

| I think Bridge had second thoughts on the way down and half pulled out of it imo. He should of seen red for intent and i would say one game would be sufficient for the careless way he went in on Jefferies. He didnt smack him in the head so a one game ban and a talking to from RFL and his coach will be enough imo.

| I don't think bridge had second thoughts, he just missed. Luckily for his victim.
Warrington are "reverting" to the dirty, spoiling side they always used to be...

Really? The player was on the floor so it wasnt hard to hit his head if he wanted to imo.

Top of the league remark??????
Our club is going in the right direction now with a owner that actually cares....unlike horse-face hetherington and her cronies.

Agree with that.
You make your own luck apparently, but last nights game was a great example of a ref just leaning towards the favourites.
Can Bridge still be banned for a few games even though he wasn't put on report?
