im going for the lefty G way of thinking and saying lee hit briers chest and a conbination of briers slipping and lees arm rising caused it to look worse than it was hows that

I see you passed your GCSE in tedry, didn't you, Fun Time.

We were "crying" over a clearly HEAD HIGH (illegal) challenge.
On this occasion, Bridge's forearm hit the chest.
Hope that clears it up for you.

The concern here for Warrington fans is surely the fact that Bridge desn't know the difference between the ball and Ben Jeffries' chest. Now we know how to bamboozle him next time.

As long as Bridge knows where the try line is, I'm not easily concerned

didnt you read my last post i thought i explained what actually happened and also any team with ben westwood in it cant really complain about high tackles can they

Can't believe we are still talking about it.Time to move on.
Seen worse and that.

But he started it, miss!

The bit in bold is interesting you say leading with the forearm/elbow should just be a penalty, so why should Bridge been sent off then because surely running at someone with an forearm/elbow in there chest would hurt more than dropping on someone using the forearm/elbow?

The thing is, Briers got a deliberately aimed shot, straight in the chops, which is illegal.

As for Westwood's disciplinary record, he's not been that bad, over the years. His last major ban, was 3 years ago!

P.S. Use full stops. It does help.

I haven't actually said Bridge should have been sent off?

My reply was to one of your fans saying the tackle was fair. Whether it was a penalty, yellow or red card wasn't really my point, more that it was certainly not a fair challenge. In fact if he hadn't tried to claim the tackle was fair I wouldn't have even mentioned it.

I think if Kevin Brown never got banned for his running elbow on Bridge the other week then Bridge has a good case for his defence. We shall see.

bridge looked 'angry'...that's what the problem is fellas...we can't have players looking angry in the tackle it upsets peoples sensibilities.

It's worth remembering that Bradford fans are already feeling sensitive after hearing the teams announced, realising that they binned off our two current centres in favour of a number of 'new Vainikolo's' and (God forbid) Michael Platt. That's not an easy thing for any rugby supporter to live with so any feeble opportunity to defend those decisions are taken.

After he didn't score on Saturday, I'm hoping the Platt voodoo has been broken, much like the Littler Gap.

well when you lot do your guess the score etc everbody puts westwood to give away the first penalty

Usually does, yeah. For lying on in the tackle, not for high tackles/forearms

And when we play you everyone puts down that we are going to dry bum you.

I think some need to watch it again with their blinkers off. Shocking challenge.

No case to answer. Clearly met to make contact with ball and did so.

The way people are carrying on you would have thought he had gouged his eyes out.

At the game, I thought he was off for contact to the bonce. Back on the big screen you can see he clearly made contact with the ball and ended up in the throat area so penalty sufficient. Watched it several times at home as I still stick with what I thought on the big telebox.

Warning letter at maximum for poor technique. Looks a lot worse than it really is.

This.

Penalty for me, don't see why people saying it should have been a sin bin as it wasn't an offence that that covers. If he had connected with the head then sending off. Nobody other than chris bridge can state his intent so you have to go on what happened. Penalty for a challenge after tackle complete (but only just). All this hysteria over everything warrington do now just proves how good a side we are now. I now know how it feels like to be a Wigan, saints, leeds fan.

No harm in it for me, it happens in all levels of rugby. When you fairly lift a player and duck them on the ground you flop down on them and give it the Ric Flair woooooooooooo

Well if it goes the same way as leading with the elbow then diciplinary have set their stall.
