Would someone like to explain how he stayed on the pitch after that? If he does not get a serious ban for that then there is something wrong. Any Wire fans like to justify his actions?

I think the only thing that saved him was the fact that he didn't connect with Ben's head, it was more in his chest.
Still disgraceful and deserves a ban though, if only for the intent.

yep 2 match ban at least..very silly boy

No defending it. Really odd thing to do too.

He was simply showing Jeffries his arm tatoo's. Apparantly he's thinking of getting some done himself.

Anyway, while I'm here I fell I should join in with your very unbiased crowd this evening..... FAAAAAARWUUUUURD.

Well it was. Only the odd couple of metres though. Hardly worth noticing!

Daft thing to do, he may not get a Ban because he connected with the upper chest and Chris has a good disciplinary record which may mean he gets a suspended ban or fine or both.

Chris is not a dirty player and he can rightly plead it was a one off brain fart

Well he certainly got hammered when he next took the ball up. After that he hid on the wing.

Really stupid thing to do, if he had connected with Jeffries face it could've been very serious.

Wasn't he involved in the scuffle a few weeks ago, with Brown in the Hudds game??

I am not sure that will be much of a defence to be honest. Whitehead, Raynor had good records but it didn't stop them getting heft bans for their "brain-farts".

I don't know how the ref could give a penalty - which must mean that he saw it - and not take further action. I could understand if he never saw it, but giving a penalty tells me that he did, yet thought it merited no further action. Unbelievable!

He didn't even take the usual soft option of putting it on report

I can only surmise that the ref did not have a clear enough view of the severity of the offence to send Bridge off. Even after a short discussion with his TJ he was unable to make that decision- even for a sin-binning

Lets see what the RFL do when they can see the severity.
A three weeks ban I would expect.

Why cant the fourth official help out it was so blatant. A ban for the next three games is no help to the fouled team.

Exactly. If he get's a ban we don't get any benefit!

Fourth officials are not allowed to intervene though are they. They would never dream of getting involved without being asked would they?

Never in a millennium.

1 match...if that.

I'd love to see the transcript of who said what in Halibut's ear tonight!

Can't be, surely?

Neither reckless or careless.

IMO

Intentional strike with elbow on ball carrier. C-F, that's a 2-8 match suspension.

I imagine the RFL take into account that the ball carrier wasn't injured and give him the lesser end of the sentence, but for me it would be a 3-4 game ban for that.

No chance... 2 games max... Probably 1 game in reality.

Depends what his charge is, if it's a flop it'll be nowt, however if its deemed intentional use of elbow he can't pick up less than 2 games. We'll have to wait and see what he's charged with. However, you and I both know it was intentional.

Like the brain fart he had against huddersfield on Sky?

He is a disgrace. Full stop. Cheap shot merchant

If he gets a match ban that's him out for the whino's game. I'd never want the whino's to beat wire. Bj is being targeted a lot and this shows he is a threat and his game has much improved

Playing well now he has competition for his place!
