No it wouldn't as Briers should have been in the changing rooms. Don't agree with the rule but any attack to the head should be a red card. Simple

It's the perfect thing to spark a good old fashioned siege mentality!



And stand offish, we all know the only reason you're bemoaning this is because you fear warrington more than us!

I didn't really think about the sending off at first.



What first occured to me was that briers had attacked ablett from behind when his back was turned. Cowardly.

So, if Briers cops a ban, confirming that he should have been sent off, meaning that had the right call been made Leeds would have been playing 12 men in the 2nd half, will you still agree we weren't robbed? Especially seeing as the try which put them in the lead before half time shouldn't have been given. I take Leeds to win going into half time at least 4 points up with a man advantage. Instead, all the momentum was sucked out of us, and we never recovered. As has already been said elsewhere, if Bailey threw a punch like that he would have been off the pitch in a matter of seconds!



If we get another crack at them via clubcall, we can take Warrington - assuming that is we get a half decent ref

I must admit I was shocked when I saw his appointment. But upon thinking about it, our game today was an experience game for him as it wasn't do or die. He does bottle it at times. As an example when the ball went through hills legs he was shouting "backwards" and gesturing with his arm backwards then on the try being scored he went to the VR.

I think Wire will pick Huddersfield

I find it baffling that you think the game would have panned out the same if Briers had have been sent off as he should have?

Looks like we've got a very in form Saints to worry about first (granted KR are cack)

Spot on. Decisions can be irritating but you have to see the bigger picture.



The leeds players didn't win 5 grand final in 6 years by dwelling on or beefing about poor decisions. Game eb and flow 50;s 50's and difficult decisions happen. You concentrate on what you control. If the leeds players have the mental toughness to forget about decisions then so can the fans.



Forget it, onwards to next week!

Indeed mate, not good! Think the 'banter' started in last years gf. I know Ablett has a gob on him but that reaction was, as you say, cowardly

Yes your right Leeds second try was a mile forward missed by the officials

Watkins hands were facing backwards when he released, but the ball drifted in mid air, and BJB was so far behind watkins when the ball was passed he had to lean forward which deceives idiots, like you. By the letter of the law it was fine, and SC said as much in commentary.
