I cannot believe some of the blinkered opinions on here. Bridge's attack was one of the most disgusting acts I've seen on a RL field, and that includes Boyd on Brohman, Newton on Long, Morley on McCormack and the Cassidy response.

Saying he didn't hit the head isn't the point. The point is that he dropped, from a standing position, attacked with what can only be construed as clear intent. That to me is a clear and lengthy ban. Especially on the back of the shenanigans against Huddersfield.

I totally agree with every word, the only problem is that Red Hall didn't even cite him last week so it will be this week. Intent? Definately, should have walked imo it doesn't matter if he missed his head or not the intent was there and if the RFL do not do something about it and make an example out of Bridge some one will be severely hurt/injured before the end of the season.

Any team playing wolves this season should just keep running at Bridge guarunteed penalty every set of six.

totally over the top to say its one of the most disgusting acts on a rugby field , your hatred towards warrington clearly stands out in your post

Love your Avatar..... how many upercuts did Tallis throw on Ben Ross in that disgusting act.... how many stitiches did Ben Ross require compared to Ben Jeffries.

Is it Irony you are displaying or just simple blind hatred

nah I'll let you off with Stupidity.....

must try harder

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



Edit : Got this off twitter, now possibly incorrect

Apparently nothing has come out of the RFL yet, so might not be true. We'll see.

Bridge has confirmed he is up before the beak. Don't know details.

I like what you did there, intentional or not...

Grade B for Bridge (1-2 matches) which means with an early plea he'll get a one game ban.

Caution for Eric.

Grade C for Sa (2-3 matches)

Is that a result of the spear tackle on Lockers?
