If Hock had gone down with the elbow in the chest, I wouldn't have even commented to be honest. And I don't begrudge opinions, the fact remains, Bridge was clumsey for what he did, but the way some people are carrying on across these forums is hilarious.

Correct, your defence is hilarious..

What's equally hilarious is how relieved you clearly are. My Warrington-supporting neighbour felt sure Wire were going to lose Bridge's services for about 2-3 weeks. Face it, you've been very lucky. Other players have been suspended for far less.

It was along way to run just to give somebody a push as well

now your making it sound like he tripped over his own feet. Either way it was illegal and there was intent in what Bridge did. Moa got a couple match suspension for somthing that is legal but was mistimed. However I think 1 match is too soft and 2 is too harsh so probaly a 1 match ban and £500 fine.

But if I was a coach my tactic against Wolves is run at bridge. You'll get penalties every set.

Look at their next three fixtures. He'll get at least one game, possibly two, but definitely not 3.

1 match ban. He'll appeal and get off

How can an incident be worth a 1 match ban but not a red card? That doesnt make sense. If a player is banned for a game then his team get to play with a full quota of players in the game of the offence and the following game?

You have to understand the Disciplinary procedure. Early plea, 1 match ban. It's hard to appeal against something you've pleaded guilty to.

There are 29 pages on the VT about something similar. Personally I think he should have been off. However he wasn't. Unfortunately life in general isn't fair.

I would have liked a yellow and a stearn warning, and hopefully his team mates would have been punished during the game. Its the lack of balls the refs have that annoys me the most.
