Flower's a turd. Pure and simple. A cheapshot merchant playing in a team "coached" by a guy with an I.Q. similar to one of their famous meat n tatter pies.

I missed the eloquent live after match interview offering a Wigan's perspective. Perhaps someone else saw it?

Didn't your incredibly smart, near MENSA-level IQ coach once get himself sent off in a CC Semi-Final and subsequently banned for an uncalled for attack on opposition players?

None of them were unconscious on the floor when he was hitting them.

And, just for the record before any Bradford fans chirp up, none of them were afterwards either.

Standing over an unconscious man and striking him in the head.

Good job the Leeds club don't employ anyone with a record for doing that and then dancing "Rocky Balboa" style over him afterwards.

Ben Flower is a big, aggressive lump with a nasty temperament on the field and a mean streak a mile wide.

I'd have him at Leeds in a heartbeat.

Ben Flower wouldn't have looked out of place at Leeds when the late and great Graham Murray was coach.

I agree and if Wigan do decide to cut their losses, Leeds ought to be first in the queue at signing him before a team like Huddersfield does.

I doubt Wigan will do anything of the sort. But yes, if they did, I'd be happy to see him here. He'd be close to the top of my list of UK-based forwards to buy if I had a blank chequebook anyway.

I'd like our pack to be a bit nastier.

Not that it absolves Flower from that second punch to an already poleaxed Hohaia but it does confirm to me that Hohaia is a nasty little grub who fully deserved the first response.

How selective. Flower had already smacked Lance. Hohaia's forearm smash was in response to that. If not for Flower's coward punch, then a yellow card for both would have bee in order.

Old news: I am disappointed in you.

Everybody long ago has countless times stated that Hohaia probably deserved the first punch and both will have suffered 'on report' at worst (the sin bin option seems to have been long forgotten by the on field officaldom). It was the follow through on a prone semi conscious defenceless man that was inexcusable.

I'm gutted that a basket-case like you (second only to Gotcha on this forum) is disappointed in me



That link was the first time I'd seen evidence of Hohaia's deliberate and pre-meditated attack with the forearm.

I'll place you in the "Psychologically Damaged by Wigan (circa mid-80's to mid-90's) camp" shall I?
