Can I just comment, as much as I like a bit of biff, Chris Hill is future captain material and mature beyond his years, he probably put the biggest hit in running in and literally carrying Briers away, Hill knows the importance of Lee and did the right thing and did it quickly.

+1 ...the bloke is quality

Seconded

The meltdown on the VT will be hilarious.

I can just imagine BiffaBoys banging on his keyboard, (ala the German kid trying to play Unreal on his PC) whilst attempting to write a strongly worded email to the RFL.

What was odd, and completely out of character was Briers' reaction to the incident.



We have all seen him clattered dozens of times and Lee's usual course of action is to "play dead" and milk the penalty, so it was very un-Briers like for him to see the red mist.



I wonder how much of it was him seeing an opportuntiy to light the blue touch paper and stand well back in an attempt to knock Leeds off their stride, just as they were beginning to take charge of the game. If this was the case - and I wouldn't put it past him - his ploy worked perfectly. From that moment Warrington were energised and Leeds were never in the game.

i thought that myself, and moreso when watching the game back, think back to the 'brawl' he started with wigan and Stomkins the year before last, he didn't swing a punch, but he start a melee to get them off their game and unsettle the ref as well.

Also, with players getting away with suposedly house tactics, and other teams fans going ape poo poo over it, are we a big team now?



Is this what it feels like being a wigan fan?

tricky one that.



Has the pope told you to fek off yet?

Briers isn't a fighter, he plays with his brain. It's highly unlikely that he's even going to contemplate getting involved in fisty cuffs with someone like Ablett....unless he has an ulterior motive.



He is very, very crafty.

Thirded.



The correct outcome, it was a nothing handbag punch & deserved a Pen a talking to by the Ref.



Correct decision both by the Ref & RFL Disciplinary Committee.

For me the entire incident changed the game because it fired us up.



From the penalty Peacock took a drive and our forwards ganged up and smothered him back, then Ablett was about to take the next one in before papping himself and knocking on as half out pack lined him up.



Loved seeing our team with that fire and from that moment our forwards dominated.
