Been watching the Bratfurt vs Wire game and the attempted elbow to the face flop on Jefferies (i think it was him anyway) was horrendous. Disgrace that he wasnt sent!

Think he's a lucky boy, if it connected he would be looking at a long ban, as it is he will plead guilty early and get 1 game (cop out RFL).

Should have been red. Hopefully he gets a lengthy ban, 2-3 matches. That won't help Bradford though.

It was a naughty one that, and with definate intent. Alibert bottled it there. Yet another sky match ending with countless controversial decisions.

I'm sure Bridge will be making a trip to red hall this week

make him have a shave too the scruffy bar steward

Yeah. 3 games would be about right

It wasn't that bad. Didn't connect with the face and it didn't seem to be the point of the elbow. That happens quite often when a player is lying on the ground, but now that it's been highlighted by the Sky team he can probably expect a ban.

Definate Red card imo, Thought it was his forearm to the chest rather than an elbow the the throat/head, still not right and will probably get a 2-3 game ban

Absolute thuggery as far as i'm concerned , should have been a red card, can't believe the officials didn't act immediatly

rubbish , tommy lee got 2 matches for a far worse attack to the head

just as bad as joel tomkins on myler or sean olockys on luke robinson get over it , clearly hit him on the chest 1 match ban for intent

I'm not sure that Robinson was on the floor, on his back.... Well not until after he was tackled...

nothing more than a penalty.

Thought it was terrible at first but watching it on the replay, did the elbow even make contact with the head?

Doesn't really matter where he hit, it's the intent - he intended to really hurt the prone player. Should be 3 - 5 matches; probably won't even get cited though if the disciplinary panel are as spineless as halibut.

Looks like he missed his face and caught him round the throat/chest. But the intent was still there.

As i said, early guilty plea and a let off for Bridge, cop out.com

deary me... total nonsense!..1 match IF THAT.

Chris Bridge is a cheap shot aficionado and is up there with Bailey and Ryan Mcgoldrick, although he is not quite at the level of Issac Luke or Steve Matai.

Anyway, that attempt at a elbow / Flop / forearm was not as bad as some on here think IMO.

1-2 games will cover it, if he had connected then maybe 3-4. Intent is one thing, but the fact that he completely missed says he had second thoughts on the way down and pulled out.

Intent should not be punished as severely as actual contact imo, as it is all down to interpretation by the judiciary / Ref and as far as i am concerned that shower should not be allowed to input their severely disjointed and non consistent opinions.

It either is, or it is not.

That effort falls into the latter.



Are people still going on about that?. I dont normally bite to obvious trolling, but Christ on a bike there was nowt wrong with Lockers hit on the snitch. Joels was naughty, but Lockers was a cracker.

Looked bad at first but wasn't really.

He'll get a letter.

More than likely you were one of the ones calling for a 10 game ban for Sam last year when he tried to stop myler scoring too...

Bridge deserves at least 3 for the cowardly attack on a prone player.

Thoughts on the Atkins try?

That one was fine. Riley did exactly what a supporting player should do and got himself in between the covering defender and the man with the ball.

The Bradford player knew he was never going to catch Atkins so made sure he got his hands to Riley to make it look like he was being obstructed.

I can understand that, but for me the fact he slowed down made it obstruction.

Firstly, Bridge should have seen red. It was a simple case of striking another player with malicious intent. He still connected with Jeffries. He should have seen a card against Hudds for his petty brawl with Brown. Thats now twice that Bridge has been let off without a card...

Secondly, I thought it was very stupid of Riley. He was clearly looking at the Bulls player on the replay which to me says he knew what he was doing in obstructing the defender by slowing down.
