The game was over, we had it won.

I can't see what the issue is.

It might of disrupted things if they set the scrum in the right position! Think that wasted more time than briers joining the scrum .

I'm surprised so many of you think it's something to applaud him over.

What will we applaud next, football-style diving? Will we clap for crowding round the ref? Can't say it's something I'd want non-RL fans to see of our game and I think anyone who thinks it was "clever" needs to look at the bigger picture.

He wasn't disrupting the formation of a scrum. Wigan just didn't form it. The never had a sixth player in which is why Silverwood didn't stop the clock until there were only 7 seconds left.

In fairness to Briers, it was only the comedy one. The correct scrum, on the given mark, was left alone.

There is a very old & wise saying..." You can always tell a Wiganer ,but you can't tell em much !"

Re: briers forming the wigan scrum : Sun Mar 25, 2012 7:59 pm  

He didn't even disrupt the scrum because he was forming it in the wrong place. No harm done.
