| Quote: PopTart "There is a lot of over reaction to the Flower incident because it was caught on camera on a big stage and showed in slow motion.
For me, if it had just been the first shot no one would have even blinked. The guy obstructed him and then took a swing. If he's going to do that against a bigger guy he deserves what he got. To me Flower just thought there was another coming so continued. He jumped away when he realised he was out.
It's not like it hurt him. He was unconscious.
The stiff arms and elbows like Rangi Chase against Fev or Mick Cassidy against Morley are far worse but get forgotten because it was in the tackle. But the victim was just as defenseless and received far more damage.'"
The fact that he was unconscious and laying prone on the ground makes his second attack all the worse. A real scumbag blow.
Flower is past his best and injury prone these days anyway, glad we didn’t go there.

| Quote: musson "I don’t get how people don’t understand the overseas rule
It’s being the same for ten years now
It’s are you federation or non federation trained
Widdop is a good example
He’s British but trained in aus and came through the ranks there
He’s a non federation trained player even though he’s British /European
You can have 5 Overseas Players.
You can have a total seven Non-Federation trained players.
Overseas players are 95% of the time non federation trained'"
Oh silly me.
There I am wondering out loud why Wigan have made such a fuss of his 'Britishness" on his profile and thinking perhaps Wigan have found a way around it. Again silly me, of all the teams in SL Wigan are without a doubt the one least likely to do such a thing

| Quote: vastman "Sorry but I really don’t get how 54 games over a ten year career counts as loads of NRL experience! That’s five games a season.
That makes Crowther a SL veteran!
Sorry but he strike me as exactly one of those players who will take us absolutely nowhere.
Of course I could be wrong but I’d put a fiver on him being anonymous at best.'"
SORRY VASTMAN but as pointed out by ex Trin half ISAAC JOHN - the average NRL player in the NRL makes around 40 appearances in first grade. I get what you are saying but 50+ games in 4 years aint bad going IMO.

| It was Lance Hohaia - 1315 - and I'm with you all the way on this one....worst act of thuggery I have seen on a rugby pitch and if that had happened in Leeds city centre on a Saturday night and been captured on CCTV then he would have definitely been going to jail !!!
Surprised he didn't get banned for life.

If it were as simple as just the numbers I’d agree, but there are more factors in play here.
The lad clearly has the size but did not debut til 26. Then mostly for the Titans, a team not overflowing with riches. He clearly has limitations and I thought our policy was not to bring players over who were no better than what we have here, is he?
When we signed Pauli Pauli you could see the logic as he was young and big in a way you don’t get in the U.K. Still didn’t work, when players can’t get an NRL gig despite appearing to have the necessaries you have to wonder.
Tbh I don’t want to get fixated on a player I know little about, mine is a more general observation, mainly that the NRL player pool available to SL these days is not what it was.
This lad could as I say be a star but more likely not. He

A lot of kids are formed and graded by 16'"
I assume yes to 16
I guess it’s where you get your first junior contract
I’m not sure on that element though

But the same can be said of most incidents that result in a penalty.
It was a split second. It wasn't premeditated.
No different to Willie Mason hitting Fielden or Sculthorpe and Farrell going at it.
The only difference is Lance H couldn't continue the fight. It was a split second.

Britishness what ever that means has nothing to do with the rules for overseas players
They’ve being the same for ages
You pretend you know everything about everything RL, the true reality as proven by you not knowing the overseas and non fed rules just shows you know nothing vastcap

Sports need bogeymen, didn’t help him being a Wigan player.
It was bad really bad but not the worst and certainly not a ban for life for heavens sake.

Wahay, Musson not getting his way and it's tantrum time.
Yes, of course, I claim to know everything about RL, that's how I roll
''Britishness" in the context I used, what could that possibly mean I wonder? I'm sure everyone is baffled

To be fair you can't fault him for that.
Using another forum user's photo as your avatar is an instant lifetime ban.
Just making sure everyone is fully aware.

Wasn’t me who made the fuss, he can’t even get that right. It was my apparent alter ego. I’m past caring I’ve taken that much crap through the years

Somehow I’m the child, there is a self help book somewhere in all this.
