And so are you. But you're still allowed to post here.

There is one thing for sure.
If the guy could turn the clock back and take a different course of action, then I'm certain that he would.

The cost for him for a minute of madness, is the loss of the Grand Final and a lengthy ban.

It is now time to draw a line under this episode and move on.

Finally, however despicable his actions were on Saturday, he will need some help from his club and others, to get over what happened.

Deary me. Jeff the Soggy Biscuit finds his bite.

You do realise that post wasn't talking about Ben Flower, but the little scrote who's been sending him threats on Twitter, I take it?

Thanks for the contribution.

You do know I wasn't talking about Ben Flower in the post you've quoted?

Agree with everything you've said.

I think you have took irony and sarcasm to new depths that no one has plummeted before.

Well done. People genuinely can't tell that you are just recycling the Flower justification arguments.

True quality Forum posting.

Now where are Hitler and the Nazis just to finish this off completely.

those 'depths' would be a reach for some of the flower deflectors on here.

But brilliant work from Maccbull. He laid out some good bait and caught a couple of big whoppers. A step up from the p1sspoor efforts we are used to seeing on this board

Someone commented that he should not be judged too harshly as he is only a young man, one listener to Sports Talk on RH commented he is the same age as Guy Gibson was when he commanded the Dam Busters raids. How the events of the time change the youth of that era.

I think there were plenty of "idiot youths" in the wartime era too. Just like there are plenty of brave, courageous, decent youths now too.

Talking out his arris

Yep. In an article written by someone who doesn't know when SL started and doesn't know the meaning of the word "numerous".

Down under journalism at its finest.

Kiwis are an odd bunch. They really do become myopic when it comes to their sport and the fact that one of their own was assaulted and the assaulter wasn't shot before being hung drawn and quartered, prior to being set on fire, buried alive and then fed to Lions is somewhat alien to them.
But ask them about the incident below featuring Brian O'Driscoll being lifted and speared by 2 All Blacks v the Lions and it was "part of the game", a nothing incident and not premeditated at all......


Personally, I think the ban should have been for 20 games. The RFL have left themselves open to questioning given that of the 6 months of the ban, the first 5 weeks Flower will essentially be on Holiday then the next 2 months in training, meaning the ban is only really 3 months. Nigels bumper book of spin seems to have been used by the disciplinary now......he's certainly getting his money's worth out of it

Who even is Graham Lowe? Bet he has never even played the game, probably just another anti-league, anti-wigan unionite
