and reports in todays paper was that it was in retaliation to a knee to the face from ablett on wardle, he had a big shiner after the game.
like i say very unlike wardle to lose his temper.
Ok, if you can find me a comparable incident where one player throws all the punches, with no other action to distract the eye of the officials and stays on the field I'll change my mind. I can't think of one.
If your big news is that Ablett got up to something naughty at the ruck you can have the Nobel Prize for stating the obvious.
I had a laugh at somebody saying Ablett's reputation as an enforcer was in tatters. He's always been a wind up merchant, never the enforcer. He's drawn punches at the ruck enough times before, Wardle wasn't singled out for special treatment. And every team in the league has players who do it, even you. Wardle should have known better than to react. It's exactly the outcome Ablett wanted. He's a young lad, and a good player. I'm sure he'll learn.
