It was only Tuesday for heaven sake when Saints issued the statement you are referring to. There are a lot of things to consider and we've seen some reactions from people who spoke in the heat of the moment (jail term, life ban etc). McManus had already spoken about the incident (and done so with utmost professionalism) even before his Tuesday statement.

In my opinion he didn't wait long at all. Think you might be being a tad unreasonable.

Just reported on SKY sports news that Flower has received death threats!!!

He has already received his punishment, and has to live with what he as caused. The guy made a huge mistake and is remorseful.

Whoever sent these threats are the real scum and I hope the Police take the correct actions against them!

Agree Ranger. Like the people who issue threats to the McCann family. There are some weird folk around.

Eamonn McManus has behaved with a lot more dignity and understanding of Rugby League than all the press and news media put together. Thank heavens for that.

Of course it won't be enough for the hang and flog em brigade, many of whom have treated us to new depths of asininity on here.

I'm only glad that he didn't injure Hohai. I mean a life ban for that? Where on earth do you go if he'd say, broken an eye socket?

That is disgusting. Hopefully whoever did that will be found and dealt with.

Or alternatively...you could just ignore them?

And that would be in Flowers best interest?

Yes. Switch Twitter account off for a few weeks. Ergo...it never happened. I mean these cranks crave people taking them seriously. They always turn out to be desperately sad little boys. Just ignore them.

Yes tbh.

People who make threats on a keyboard are bunch of wimps. Can you imagine i am going to have him i am going to do him in. People who tend to do things never give warnings.



FFS did you see the first punch that is about the best punch i have ever seen. And he has the animal instincts to do the 2nd punch. So if they did go after him and not take him out then that prson is getting fed through a tube for the rest of their lives.

It's ironic that your avatar is John Lennon when you say don't worry about it and ignore the threat.
Most people who post death threats on Twitter are indeed idiots just thinking they can wind someone up while remaining anonymous. BUT as John lennon proved, some are cranks that follow through.
They need to be found and dealt with.

Yes of course, John Lennon was one of the most famous and recognisable men in the world. I think Ben is safe, don't you?

He's known well enough by the people who care about this subject.

Kieron Cunningham received no ban whatsoever when he forearmed a player in the face whilst on the floor, and fractured said player's eye-socket (Stosic of Wakefield). No ban, no threat of police, for what was a far worse incident. It is just a shame that Flower didn't keep his composure, because he's NOT a dirty player, far from it; but had he done so it should have been St Helens down to 12 men for the match, and I suspect they would have lost by more than 40 points.

YOU LOST FLOWER WAS A DISGRACE GET OVER IT

Do you mean like you clearly have?
