Quote: Father Ted "Just back from the game and seen the incident on the half time review by Wells and Carney.
Wells draws attention to the fact that Hohaia instigated the incident by running in and belting Flower to the jaw with his forearm. Flower, by his reaction, obviously took it that Hohaia intended breaking his jaw. Flower reacts and punches Hohaia as he stands and then again when the Saints player in on the ground.
It certainly looked from that TV replay like Hohaia was the instigator and Flower the one who reacted.
Flower sent off correctly, Hohaia, the instigator, not dealt with at all.
That's how it looks from the SKY TV output.'"
Flower instigated the whole thing. Take a look at the footage; when the bomb was kicked Flower swiped one at Hohaia in back play, that's why he reacted and ran in at Flower, then flower decked him then finished him off.
I make that 3-to-1.
And one of those he was prone and defenceless.
