pm you in a moment

Not quite what occured, but most likely to take any opportunity to upset Saints 1 remaining HB, which is what Flowers did with the original punch when running past Hohia

That's what happens when you get spoiled all season by watching Leigh "The Entertainers" Centurions.

Imagine how good we could be having that level of bulk/conditioning and the type of RL we have played this season
I thought it was lacking skill with the little flair coming from Wigan and think the refs this year need to take a long hard look at how they officiate games and realise the industry we are in
Flower will get 16 games

Well he won't despite what he did. Daft beggar lost his head in a moment of madness and he will have suffered already as a consequence of his actions.

He will get 4 games imo and should be made to pay me back my ticket money for ruining what could have been a good game.

I personally don't think it will harm our game one bit and as the say "you can't really get bad press". I think he will get an even ten game ban. I also think he realised what he was doing just before he landed the second punch. Had he punch him twice while on the floor you could wave him bye -bye forever.
Do you think it was worse than Eric Cantona's flying kick? No, not by a country mile. A very, very stupid thing to do which no doubt will tighten the rules on the biff for next year. Me thinks we will see a good few red cards at the start of next season. even for a push. What I really would hate to happen is the RFL go overboard and give the Ref's a mandate to send players off just for raising their hands, like in fuzzball.

I'm sure your local RU coach will happily use it to entice new juniors rather than them playing the ' thugs ' game

TV boy what planet do you live on?

The independent disciplinary board will meet tomorrow and comprises Judge Chris Batty, Danny Sculthorpe and Neil Turley.

Nonsense - it made it a very interesting equation - which was worse, losing your best prop or your only real playmaker? That question was only decided in the last 5 minutes. It probably wouldn't have been as close with 13 v 13.

Besides, teams can't all play like Leigh you know!
