Quote: Andy Gilder "The ban for "running in and punching an opponent off guard" is a Grade F - 8 games or a specified period.
No doubt the RFL will say it wasn't running in, therefore it's a Grade E. And he has previous good record so we'll call it a D. So that's four games, and he can include Wales's European Championship campaign. Less one for an EGP. So back in time for the extended WCC.
Personally, I'd give him six months from today.
Oh, and Hohaia shouldn't escape punishment for the original forearm smash off the ball that started the whole thing either. One game for that.'"
Think you might find Flower started and finished it.
Hohaia did run in with the elbow and should cop a game or two but only after Flower caught him in back play.
As for Flower 6 games minimum.
I don't agree it was cowardly i would say it was thuggery of the lowest form.
Only a scumbag would do that to a fellow professional who was clearly knocked out on the floor.
