Bridge on Twitter

"Went to finish the tackle putting all my weight on him!!with the forearm on the ball!!never in a million years would I elbow some1 in face!!"

cough cough cough

Exactly the explanation I offered 5 mins after game yesterday. It was obvious, Stevo and Eddie have turned your brains to mush . Try watching without sound.

Some Wire numpty has been on defending him saying "coaches instruct players to finish them off when a player isn't completed. Idiot

Deary me!

this thread is very amusing....can't wait to come back when he either gets one match or nowt.

As a Wire fan I think Bridge did not attempt to hit Jeffries with an elbow to the head - not in a million years.
But I do think Jeffries was tackled and there was no need to go in with the forearm to the chest.
It was not pretty - and it was totally unnecessary.
But the last couple of weeks it seems like Bridge has been wanting to take his anger out on players on the pitch and I was calling for TS to bring him off before he got sent of....

Because I belive the tackle was already completed and consider the follow up unnecessary I think he should get a 1 match ban - for the sake of rugby league. Too often the refs duck out of making decisions on the pitch. There do need to be more red and yellow cards in my opinion - probably not popular with may but just my view.

What's he angry for? He's starting for a great team and his team are last year's league leaders and are top of the league this season with no defeats? Silly man

Just had a baby girl,sleepless nights, nappy changes, moody wife and everything else what goes with a new baby.

I heard him too, what an emptyhead, claimed it was "OK as it didn't impact the head"......probably only because Bridge missed. I think the GMR interviewers were a bit lost for words when he spouted that shee-ite, so politely parked him, and moved swiftly on.

If you watch the replay video, and I'm sure Red hall will (as they have pulled far less controversial incidents this season) you can see it had intent written all over it.....unless of course it's viewed through primrose and blue specs. FFS it's Rugby league not WWF.

= you are copping a face load of forearm smash chummy just because I'm not getting any leg-over

Bless - perhaps Tony Smith needs to buy him a Fleshlight.....not that I know what one of them is you know, ahem.

Tbf if someone like Riley had done it I don't think there would even be a thread but Chris bridge was even worse in the huddersfield game, shame cos he is a good player.

don't agree with all this "good job he missed" rubbish. I think he did exactly what he intended. Going down on his chest with the forearm. Never an elbow to the face in a million years.

He's seemed very angry over the last few games, although he always looks fairly serious. Think he will get a one match ban, which might be a blessing in disguise. If he carried on that way, he might have got himself sent off and a defeat for us.

Just seen it for the first team, and it really is a shocker.

Forearm contact with the chest first, but his elbow ends up pushed into his chin, if that's only 1 game he's lucky IMO.

You've missed out Hock on Harrison

No case to answer, our sport is a laughing stock at times
