You are right Andy, the fight was retaliation for previous events plus the use of the elbow on that last tackle, our only problem will be that whilst we all commend our team spirit and the fact the lads stick up for each other, retaliation punching will carry a similar offence to the one that started it.
Hopefully there wont be any further sanctions for either side but it will be scrutinised thoroughly.
However I certainly wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of Bate, what a scrapper he is !!

Listen to what Tony Smith said when he was national coach about brawling. It's a loss of control and that loss is a negative to the team. There are ways to hurt the opposition without an out and out brawl.
