| Quote: PurpleCheeseWarrior "It's a good job these things aren't decided on opinion then because there's no way of knowing Ben Flower's true intent. I have a feeling that like every opposition fan in the country, you are judging Flower's every move with the Hohaia incident in mind. It was dangerous and wreckless but to say he intentionally went to hurt Patton is silly when you have no evidence that he did.'"
I couldn't agree more. |

Pleaded guilty - got a two match ban and £300 fine. Available for the GF if we get there.

That's about right, I'd say. No doubt the trolls will be along soon to say that he should have been banned for life... |

Probably season over realistically. Even IF we get to the GF I doubt he would come back in unless there was another prop injury.

Seems right enough to me.
Given that he accepted his guilt and no injury was caused he would have been unlucky get the maximum. |

With the injuries we have at prop, and his pick up in form, for me Flower is a dead cert should we get there. |

Wanes a huge Flower fan. If we get to the final he'll be in the 17 IMO.

Hardly any RL in the Mirror this week but Gareth Walker devotes almost half a page to Ben Flower, and the red Vee page has about a million pages all over a 2 match ban!

Nothing new there. They literally define themselves by how much evil Wigan do to them. |

It'll be interesting to see how many column inches will be given to this over and above BF:-
www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/37424295
Will ranks close in order to avoid too much controversy over the beloved kick & clap?
Cynical? ..... You bet I am! |

Apparently he didn't plead guilty and we're appealling the category tonight. Really struggling to see the point and doubt it will be successful - even if we do run the RFL.

Wigan need to be careful not to put gentle Ben through too much, this can't be helping with the anxiety he's feeling about the prospect of getting a ban for elbowing a player high and late (if you read the disciplinary notes). Bless him. |

That's okay. Wigan treat their players well as we're a caring club.
How is Lance these days by the way?  |
