in reply to all the Saints fans who want him hung drawn and quatered, banned sine die etc etc ...theres a brilliant picture doing the rounds on facebook. It shows Hohoia's initial assault on Flower, nice elbow to the jaw, and the Saints fans in the background are all laughing !!!!!!!

Marvelous how they find assault by their own player hilarious, but call for the death penalty at pay back time.

Was there a big mirror in front of Ben Flower? Im not sure how the saints fans behind Ben Flower could have seen that. Seemed pretty obvious they were laughing at him dropping the ball when pretty much through.

They were probably laughing at flower dropping the ball, you can't really judge them on that, in real time at the stadium everything happens so fast you can't always process exactly what's happening, they see flower bomb a try and a mass brawl break out.

I wonder how many games into the season Good Friday is ?
Could be a ticket seller

Thanks, I'd checked all the RFL disciplinaries, and found no charge on all of them, didn't realise he as banging on about something Flower had been found innocent of!

You need to tell Ben Westwood that. So, two punches against Westwood's one, means he should get 4 matches.
Everyone happy with this?

Id ban tackling, its that bloody ape and "over aggressive" Wigan's fault, and dont get me started on them cannon balls. I also blame McIlorum for being too aggressive and getting himself injured. Sack Wane, sell the club and give that doctor a knighthood for ensuring the unbelievably lighting speed recovery of Lance Hohaia's broken jaw.

Hohaia has been charged with the Grade B offence of striking Flower with the forearm in the second minute.
Hohaia has until 11.00am on Tuesday to submit an Early Guilty Plea.

This surly will come with a thank you from all the ABW fans ---[ABW
The headline will be "THE ELBOW THAT CHANGED THE GAME"
Lets all be honest -----Without the Hohaia elbow Wigan would easily of won the game
The saint elbows the face and the sinners off in disgrace.
The Hohaia elbow could easily see Ben Flower sacked from Wigan and banned from Rugby League
This will bring on a new saying "The elbow is mightier than the fist"
The chain of events are ----PUSH---- FOREARM----- FIST------ FIST ------REDCARD----ADVANTAGE SAINTS
You just could not make it up

The incidents can't really be compared. Westwoods was worse than flower's first but not the second. The rfl really copped out on westwood last year, purely because of england.

I suppose practice makes perfect. He will get a perfect 10 ban.

He might have a wait to see you - it's 2 years since your last posts on this board. You'll be here all off season though presumably...

My appearances are like sightings of the Virgin Mary - rare but venerated. You'll be erecting plinths in Wigan town centre to celebrate my coming and telling your grandkids in hushed tones "I was there when he appeared".

What was that? Oh, my apologies... A "virgin" is a woman that hasn't already had sex by the time she's an adult. I forgot that you don't get them in Wigan...
