with some very big games still to come in the playoffs it will be interesting to see what happens the next time someone throws a punch.

either

a) nothing, because the RFL doesn't want players being banned for the big games

or

b) nothing if they play for a big club but potentially players from the other clubs will get a ban

I am glad he never got a ban

Dont really want to see red cards and games missed for a bit of fisty cuffs.

Really glad that the new directive from the RFL is not to punish players for it.........

I want to agree with you Tuggles but I'll wait until it happens against a Wire player so that I don't look biased and to show I'm not a softcock like most fans seem to be at the moment.

All RL fans like a good scrap (if you don't you should do) it takes all the frustrations out of you, however they aren't consistent at Red Hall and that is what annoys
people, I couldn't care less if Briers got 1 match or 6 but lets treat them all the same.

That's the real issue here, early in the season punch thrown straight red and a ban now it seems not to be worthy of either.

I love to see a bit of biff but lets have some consistency.

What he said

Wire and Briers have simply played the system, that's all - nothing that we wouldn't have done. Definitely warranted a card at the time though - seen reds given out for that in the past, so should have been no different this time. Childs bottled it, simple as that

You can't treat them all the same, do we treat all theft as the same? Rob a Mars Bar 10 years in jail, it's only the same as robbing a bank.

Look at them all individually based on circumstances and outcomes.

Right decision, there was nothing much in it. Should have had a yellow card and that should have been the end of it.
Leeds seem to have an abundance of players who try and wind players up, they got rid of Brent Webb but still have Ryan Bailey, Carl Ablett & Danny Maguire. Should be interesting if Warrington pick Leeds next week.
