| Quote Angelus="Angelus"Aye, he screwed the pooch on that one. He should be banned for it, and he will be, along with Partington, who doesnt seem to have his own thread despite the tackle being worse.
He'll probably be in a home in his 80's and still getting abuse hurled at him over his red card at OT'"
Haven't seen a vid of the Partington one, which might explain why it is getting less comment.
If it's demonstrably worse than Flower's it must be a pretty bad one. |

There is a video on twitter, it’s not the best quality but I’d say it’s worse than Flowers, he comes from a real distance and uses more force. At least Flower attacked the back of the knees at the bend, Oli looks like it was side on. |

Correct and you'll be very hard pressed to find anyone defending either tackle on here. |

Definitely not. I hate those tackles. One positive is that Powell had stopped doing it, he was the worst for it. |

I don't think that the Partington tackle was any any worse than the Flower one. If you watch it Partington is going in to make the tackle as the HKR player is still driving with his legs. At the last second the HKR player gets turned sideways by the other Wigan players and Partington is already committed and can't pull out of the tackle. The result is Partington then hits the legs from the side (against the natural movement of the knee)
Careless yes and a ban yes but not reckless.
No problem with the Flower ban, got what he deserved.

Nonsense. No other player commits any offences on or off the field except Wigan players who are all thugs coached to be thugs |

If its a Warrington player it won't matter one jot, they have never bothered to defend the salary cap (seriously is that team within the limits?) nor defend the actions of their dirty players. I've always loved a pantomime villain on the pitch, it's rugby, players biff each other and make up but this claiming of the moral high ground is hilarious. Yes the Ben Flower incident was shocking and I genuinely hope Lance is OK but I remember Matautai trying to end the career of Chris Chester 20 years ago and that never gets mentioned. What he did was planned in advance not a reaction, it was sickening.
