Cant comment on the BBQ incident because I wasnt there but I would rather one of our players did what Dane did than what Flower did every single day of the week. One is a cowardly act a defenseless person where as Danes was a nothing tackle and then stand up fight. There is a line when it comes to anger issues and Flower is way way over it, most people can control situations like that, the odd one or two cant.

It wasn't exactly a "nothing tackle" from Dane, he admitted himself that he was trying to make his presence felt. He deserved his ban for the shot on Sam, and made the following melee worse by running round the back of the referee for round 2 after things had supposedly calmed down......

.....that said, we and everyone else can argue whether or not 10 matches was fair or not, but IMO what Flower did was far, far worse. 6 months was probably right - but starting from the next competitive (Super League) fixture.
