Im just sat watching the game and How Gannon never got a red is beyond me - made contact with 3 punches right infront of Hewer.................or does striking not matter anymore ?

Brett squeezed his nads previous to him punching out, and while your at it have a look at Braceks challenge on Gannon just short of half time. He should have seen red for that.

Not disappointed at all in Barrow's tac tics.I enjoyed it,just like the good old days when Kevin Tamati and Eddie Szymala went toe to toe and were sin binned in the opening minutes of the 1983 Lancs cup final between the two same sides.

I have also had a look at Kohe Loves attempt at decapitating Ellis - much worse than Braceks.

well apparently 2 barrow players have been charged following the final but not seen any mention of widnes players having to face the disaplinary

as i said before, holt was the one who should have seen red, his cheap shot on gannon was the spark to the mass brawl. bracek didn't help the situation either by ploughing through the scrum to get a punch in as well.

the 3 blindside punches on Mcdermott weren't cheap shots then ? I would say they were what sparked the mass brawl !

Are the highlights on the internet anywhere? ? ?

I only really want to watch the fight though to be honest.

what a load of bxxxxxks. excuse the pun. about Bret. watched the replay 6 or7 times. he goes nowhere near.
and while you at it have a look at Fletchers high tackle on Ellis. which was far worse than Braceks

You set your stall out to hammer us and got owned big style so deal with it. Bracek is also up before the disciplinary and guess what not a single Widnes player called up.


Pretty much says it all.

Vikingman you are a co*k mate.If you think no Widnes player should be facing a charge then it just about sums up your knowledge of the game and its rules - Do you work for the RFL ? Bracek may rightly be up on a charge but are you saying Gannon punching Brett Mcdermott 3 times (Striking) does not warrant a charge ?

Have to agree you tried to muller us most of the opening quarter and we didn't rise to it (much) and beat you at your own game.
