Glad Lance is ok,

I didn't want two tragedies in two sports I love (other being Formula1) in the space of two weeks.

I'm still shocked, it took my breath away

Punching - sustained, repeated, violent & aggressive is grade E, which is between 4 and 8 matches. Strangely, "Other Striking offences", which is conveniently ambitious can be grade F, which is an unlimited ban.

I would guess he will get 7 matches given he was sent off in the 2nd minute.

Sickening. Like to see Wane's defence of that one.

He should be ashamed.

He will say it was a "strange decision".

RFL will give Flower a 3 match ban and a £300 fine.

They can't. Minimum is 4 matches for grade E. He'll get top end, so 7 or 8.

I predict a 'sending off sufficient', especially if they go on to win and have to play in the WCC.

3 teams play in the WCC next year, including the two finalists, so they are playing either way.

They have taken out Saints' only recognised halfback. And it's worked, Saints are struggling.

A deliberate ploy by scumbag Wane. Although not ideal, he will see the red card as a necessary sacrifice.

8 games is too lenient.

31 games in SL next year (should you make the Super

, 33 if you reach the GF, so he should be banned for at least 33 matches.

Anyway, expected nothing less from a team coached by Shaun Wane. No doubt he was told to go out and "do some damage".

Wouldn't actually be that surprised, after hearing Wane's pre match comments
