Was brough taking his kick from middle of pitch,, I think not,, he was choppsing way before the kick was taken tight to touch line,, 4 Huddersfield players taking cheap shots at Bridgey was the problem, England just wasn't willing to stand and watch,,
But there was GOB incident, Dwyer and Clark nearly speared,,
Typical it's every body else's fault,,

We will see after the report is issued,, but brough would have even more of an obnoxious reaction if England had spat on him,,

What a crock of e, Wire lost cos they got out bullied, They don't like it when a team stands up to them like today and like Hull did in the Cup (was it year before last) great to see us finally give some stick back, England is a disgrace, to see a RL player spit at a fellow pro amazes me. ATEOTD the best team won and that is a refreshing change with Bentham in charge, strange how all the fighting started when Wire went behind, maybe coincidence

He spat at him, saw it clearly and then did it again, nearly hitting the touch judge before a Wire player pulled him away, disgusting behavior and deserves a long ban.

i thought he took over from bentham at one point

i think you did succumb to niggling easily, however the rough stuff was instigated by bridge and england, things had been fine before then, for Eorl to get riled like he did and to start windmilling then something must have gone on!

i've also heard reports of a wire player spitting at a giants player, despicable if true!

i think there could be some bans and fines coming for players from both teams this week.

for me wire seemed to be in total control of the game at 19-12 but then seemed to be more interested in getting the upper hand in the niggle stakes.

but i will take a league double, cheers

Seems like Tony Smith received some abuse from Huddersfield supporters too. More "disgusting behaviour" www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/spo ... mpaign=RSS

i thought it looked like England had to be dragged away by the wire trainer, all i saw was both of them mouthing at each other then England trying to get at broughy but tv tony and his trusty flag saved the day!

as for bridge, it appeared that he blindsided someone when the officials were concentrating on the try being scored, which appeared to incense big eorl, who is usually pretty mild mannered.

but i didn't have a clear view as i was celebrating the try.

he was sin binned for repeated punching, few of them connected as well, but it was a bad challenge by connor and not needed IMO

Getting back to the match, if I may, I made a comment a few weeks back that we played dumb football, lacked composure and common sense, and we seemed to have learned nothing.

Kicking out on the full, charge downs, forced passes - all the things that have blighted the season and exacerbated the limited, stale or declining skills of the squad are still there. Whether it was stupidity, arrogance or a hugely mis-placed slice of over confidence the decision to decline kickable penalties is a mistake too many at the moment. Experienced professionals making those kind of mistakes repeatedly are never going to end our grand final drought.

Finally, I remain of the belief that Brough will never be the player Briers was, but I'd sell my grandmother into slavery to have just one half-back at the club with a fraction of his kicking game.

Another victory snatched away buy poor decisions,, and agree brough was the difference,, let's just hope our MOS can turn it around and show broughs consistency,,,
Hull KR will be tuff,, and I can't really see an easy time there,, I wonder if we can excel in the CC as welcome break from poor league form,,

Every chance we will get to Wembley with a kind draw.
But we're doomed in the final. I can't bear to watch another game like 1990 where we will clearly be 2nd best.
I would hate to watch us get beat by someone like Saints, it'll be a long journey back up the M6 having to travel along sides them.

The tackle was from Brough not Connor and was nothing wrong with it. Connor and Clarke then got involved in a punch up so both may end up with a ban.
