Has there been history between Ablett and Briers, or has McDermott just thought 'Ablett's expendable, let him go and wind-up Briers. If both get sent of, I've lost a squad player, and Wire lose their lynchpin'
Either way, Briers is one of the biggest wind-up merchants in the game, and he's been "hoist by his own petard", encouraged by Leeds.
As I've said before, Briers was idiotic in what he did.
The RFL have a disciplinary process, he'll plead early, as guilty, and not get a ban. I fail to see the point of the vitriol spouted by other club's fans at this outcome, as their players would use the same "get out clause", should the time arise
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.
