Quote: Bull Mania "Unfortunately I don't think 8-10 is sufficient. Flower has done massive damage to the image of RL. If the RFL hand out a weak punishment, the knives really will be out for the sport. 15 game minimum I reckon.'"
15 weeks is fine by me, but calm down with the 'massive damage'. Bad stuff happens from time to time in all sports, you'll never stop moments of madness, doesn't matter what the rules are. I won't start listing them in RU, NRL, Soccer, etc., plenty others have. It's how you deal with it, and the sport's dealt with it just fine so far, and I'm confident they'll continue to do so. Let the 'knives come out' if they must - at least we get a platform to talk about and defend the sport, which plenty RL people have done so eloquently already. The fact that the RL community, Wigan included, has come out and made it absolutely clear that this is totally unacceptable gives the message that this is an unusual incident.
