To have red-carded that punch would have brought into disrepute every decent bit of biff I've ever seen.

Also, you have to take into account that Briers isn't a fighter. He clearly reacted to something Ablett did ( think at some point Ablett caught him on his mouth) that does mitigate how he responded.

Who cares about consistency? If Child helped it make it more difficult for the Rhinos to get to Old Trafford, I'm all for it.

Didn't think you worked for the defence slugger lol

Mcilorum on Elima last season. Straight red.

And totally correct in my view. You can't have athletes who do boxing training throwing bare fisted punches to the face.

I don't mind it too much within the game, that said, there does need to be a sanction of some kind and for me 10 mins in the bin is about right in most cases.

But how would they catch the ball with boxing gloves on??

Are you two the 'warm up' for tonight? If so it might put a fair few punters off

Boom boom!

Thrown out by the bouncers, is that better than being picked up by the fuzz?
