Westwood did something very similar last year to Blake Green, except Westwood wasn't provoked by having an elbow in the face, it was pure and simple tactics. He got 2 games, but Flower, Wane and the rest of the Wigan team must receive nothing less than the death penalty.'" I agree what did he do? all he did was throw a right with 16st behind it plumb on to an almost unconscious man,i dont know the over reactions from some people

| Wane never played the game in that way, at least I don't remember him doing so. I wouldn't imagine he'd be too impressed. But I wouldn't expect any coach to comment publically on one of his own players who'd behaved similarly in the immediate aftermath of a game though.

Whether it was truly tactics or not, for this to happen in the week after the heavily publicised "Warriors Down Under" documentary and Wane's questionable half time speech in New Zealand, it is bound to be brought up.
Rightly or wrongly, a vast majority of people will expect that Wane offered some sort of pre-match speech that was akin to the Warriors friendly, especially in a Grand Final against "THEM".
And Westwood's attack was a shot in a tackle that could (and did) hit Green in the head. Flower could hardly miss on a dazed Hohaia. They are not comparable.

Nothing like Benny's incident, at least Green was conscious when he walloped. Flowers assault was thuggery of the highest order. LH couldn't even see it coming. If that was outside a pub on a Saturday night, he would be doing 6 months for GBH.

Agreed. The Westwood incident was totally unprovoked.

| Flowers was bang out of order and he'll regret that floor punch for the rest of his life. In his defence he got badly clobbered in the face by Hohaia and would have probably seen the red mist.
That floor punch was too far but how many people could honestly say that they would be in total control moments after a grevious attack to the head.
