What was odd, and completely out of character was Briers' reaction to the incident.
We have all seen him clattered dozens of times and Lee's usual course of action is to "play dead" and milk the penalty, so it was very un-Briers like for him to see the red mist.
I wonder how much of it was him seeing an opportuntiy to light the blue touch paper and stand well back in an attempt to knock Leeds off their stride, just as they were beginning to take charge of the game. If this was the case - and I wouldn't put it past him - his ploy worked perfectly. From that moment Warrington were energised and Leeds were never in the game.
Quote: Robbo "No problem. So long as the next time someone punches someone from behind the treatment is exactly the same, I.e no card and a grade A charge. Obviously the availability of an early guilty plea is what saved him.
However most of us know that isn't what will happen. After all the talk about this incident it's more likely the next player in the playoffs to throw the slightest dig will be sent off. All I want is consistency. Looking back at some of the cards we've seen over the season I think it's fair to say child bottled it.'"
Edwards would regularly Tw@ somebody in the middle of the park....and not even getting penalised....I bet you weren't complaining back then..if your old enough to remember that far back.
