Quote: Gallanteer "Wane used to make them tackle hard, I'm sure, but I doubt he wanted them to actually injure players. Lam hasn't had time to change habits yet.
Unfortunately certain players such as Flower let the red mist descend too easily at times. I'm sure that afterwards he regrets it but his self control on the field is questionable. Every team generally has at least one player like this. It doesn't make it excusable though and Flower tends to be more aggresive than most.'"
He knocked out a stand-off that assaulted him at Old Trafford.
He's been a shadow of himself ever since. All the aggression has gone out of his game. Being hung, drawn and quartered by a media and general public that barely acknowledges Rugby League exists ruined him as a player.
