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 |

If you care to look on the Wigan board started a thread roundly criticising Flower. That second punch was shocking and he deserves a very long ban.
I assume you have all just seen the half time replay. Hohia should have walked too.

Well unless they change the grades, that's what he will get unfortunately. I agree with your sentiment, it was thuggery and its very debatable if 8 match top end is a severe enough punishment.
Guidelines are rlhererl

Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?: |

Hohiah should have walked? Bolox |

Hohia would have been penalised, not worth any more than that imo. |

What's so funny?
Worst incident I have ever seen on a rugby field. It really could have caused some serious permanent damage.
I would not like to ever see him play again unless a real apology and lengthy ban is given

Hohia would never have walked for his part, no where near a red card offence. However he would have been penalised, perhaps have received a yellow card imo, and likely would have if not for Flowers shocking actions completely distracting everybody from it. |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

1 st assault was by Flower on Hohia as he ran past, a punch thrown to the head , Hohia response was more a push
Unfortunatly Wigan will now win ,and be praised for doing so |

Oh dear, you started off so well, then followed it up with some excuse for him. Hohaia should have maybe given a penalty, which Wigan may well have got had Flower not assaulted him.
No excuses or indignation can ever come close to excusing what we just watched. |
