| Quote: Rugby Raider "Please don't defend him. That was a shocking. A deliberate forearm to the throat.
After the Grand Final, I felt he should never be allowed on a rugby field again. It was so obviously a sending off offence tonight and he still saw fit to argue the case while he was walking.
A great come back tonight. Once you decided to start playing rugby there was only going to be one winner. As a Hull fan, it sets up a great finale at the KC next Friday.
Looks like you'll now finish second and whoever loses next week will face a tough semi final at your place.'"
It was not a forearm, it was his elbow.

| Quote: Leythersteve "And Wane is a model of integrity. Gaz Hock has done no wrong at Leigh. Acton can be a c0ck Derek is a hero in Leigh and dont beleive all that you read in the Mark Green column. What do you know about Barlows case other than what you hear in the playground? I said take a deep breath and give us the facts not just a silly tantrum'"
I know Barlow ain't playing Rugby League for four years. I know Acton and Hock are two of the most banned rugby league players in the world game. I know Beaumont is a really un-likeable character (matter of opinion) and reports are that he's not that well thought of at other clubs.
You can throw what you want at Flower and Wane (you could call it a tantrum if you want), but ultimately their misdemeanours pale in to insignificance in comparison to those of the characters named.
Feel free to keep posting your opinions though, they're all very welcome.

| Quote: NickyKiss "Explain what? It's as clear as day that you have a side chocked full of bad eggs. You've got the ultimate 'wrong un' in Hock (and we should know)! Jamie Acton is another ex player of ours who is a disgrace and then you've got the Sam Barlow case (which by the sounds of things has left him lucky not to be serving time at her majesty's pleasure).
As for your board, your owner is a pure idiot who has little respect in the game. I believe the behaviour of your owner and directors at some games has been very poor (especially against Bradford on a couple of occasions).
As I say your opinion on foul play or poor behaviour won't hold much weight.'"
Why does the behaviour of some other people mean that this guy's opinion is not relevant? If some people who are not you but are involved with Wigan behaved badly would that affect the validity of your opinions?

I agree, i think we should stay on topic.. And that is the the (current) Ben Flower situation, which i have already stated my complete displeasure at on page 2

Classic Wane, Defending the un-defendable. It's a pity though, because it was a contributing factor in one of the best team performances in years. Even Sam attacked the line and looked bloody dangerous when he did.

| I honestly thought it was just a yellow. I saw it as clumsy not malicious.

| Just to put the cat amongst the pigeons.....deliberate use of lower limbs to the head of Powell to stop the try? No attempt made what so ever to tackle using the arms, defender uses the arms Powell scores.

| Think most people saw what i didn't see but i am quite happy being a lone voice in the dark. I thought it was a malicious, deliberate and dirty attack and i have seen it many times now. Nothing will change my mind. Wigan player or not.

Very well said Matty, and Yes!!, in all the confusion i forgot about that somewhat. Led with the knees, although wasn't deliberate, very worthy of at least a sin bin or penalty try - or both, which could also be said of the Tierney try, not given could have been worse for Wire.
