He'll no doubt get a chunky ban, but he's already had his punishment. He'll live with the knowledge that he may have cost his team a title for the rest of his life.

He gives them the freedom to do that sort of stuff so he's no excuse. The high shots, holding down, messing at the PTB today was disgusting

It was a typical cynical wigan performance start to finish. Them losing is brilliant and victory for Rugby not just Saints. Not seen the game back but watching it live the ptb were just like a WWE Royal Rumble pile on , there were plenty high shots and niggles let go by Bentham too.

Not a surprise considering fathead encourages that kind of act. Absolute cowardice, end of.

I think his punishment is that he will always be known as a coward. No matter what else he does in his career, he will always be know for that. He'll join the other Wigan scum like Newton and hock and no doubt become a drug taking loser too

Wigan will welcome him back after his ban a hero. They did same with Hock after his drug ban. They have him a hero return.

I thought Bateman was going over the edge as well as Flower.

He's borderline retarded that lad, he'd start a fight in an empty room!

Bateman played? Didn't even notice him during the game he was that anonymous for me.

The kid was having a excellent season until the ape brought Joel Tomkins back and IMO he's been very very poor.

Just shows Wigan are half the side without their cowardly tactics

Wigan:-

World Cup Challenge ....losers!
Challenge Cup .... losers!
League Leaders Shield .... losers!
Play-off Championship .... losers!

The rest of the world of rugby league .... winners!
lol

Wiganers already busy re-writting history on the VT and Wigan boards.

It was naughty lance sir he started it all.

The wigan SKy broadcasters give a nice clear shot of Lance hitting Flower, but only breifly gloss over the fact, Flower had already given Lance a fore arm smash from behind earlier on in this sequence.

Lance's forearm was worthy of a penalty for sure, but it was a pushing motion, an aggressive shove that would be penalty sufficient if put before the disciplinary committee. Flower starts it with the punch/swinging arm to the back of Hohaia's head, which again is penalty sufficient.

Flower's first punch was bad and worthy of a red under today's rules. Too clean a hit to get away with it, but with it being a GF he would probably have got away on report had he not followed it with the second punch.

That was the worst thing you'll see on any sporting field for many a year. He should be facing criminal charges and the RFL should throw the book at him for it. It's unacceptable and IMO Wigan and Wane are letting themselves down massively by not dealing with it either.

Flower is $hit anyway, what an idiot.
