Is it because:
(a) Wigan own the RFL
(b) you're bitter and paranoid and forgot to take your medication this morning
(c) both of the above

Yes that's it exactly! The RFL have forgotten the grand final incident which is just the same as accidentally upending a playing off balance! Punishment served, move on.
I'd say u were a clown but clowns are funny!!

I'll admit to both if you will admit somebody at your club must be concerned for Flower to go to those lengths to get off!
See you Saturday

I actually think Wigan should be complemented.
All clubs should work in their own best interests. If this means successfully appealing suspensions then so be it.
I wish Cas did it more.

| To be fair, I don't remember the last time we won an appeal.
As for the Cas fans, don't be concerned ... the guy's been a shadow of himself since the infamous GF incident. I doubt you've much to worry about.

| Isn't our "legal team" usually just Wane and another coach who have actually played the game and know the intensities of the current game unlike the plebs that usually sit on the disciplinary panel.

There are a lot of 'legal experts' on TotalRL - especially on this matter- though if most of them speak the way they write, you'd think you were listening to lads whose knackers haven't dropped.

You think? He had a slow start last year but was excellent in the last three months of the season. He again had a slow start to this year and injuries have effected him but he's been back to his best for the past few weeks IMO.
He's still our best prop overall for my money and it's a big boost to have him back.

Bit arrogant. Never claim a dead certainty up front, you never know you could always end up being someone's signature!

| I think the RFL are very brave here.
If, God forbid, Flower commits a similar tackle and causes serious injury, there will certainly be a case for the RFL to answer in terms of player safety.
It would have been easier for them to uphold the ban so they have not taken the 'easy option'.
