| What a joke. Most of the ban covers the off season. The RFL strikes again. They are not fit to run a village fete.

That's exactly my point. You should be punished for the punch attempt whether good or not. So Hohaia did the same as Flower.
Stay with it.

| Seems a little weak to me. It will be interesting what St Helens do now in terms of any action they may take....

He had already ruled himself out of them?

As you say the initial contact happens all the time, so Hohaia didn't need to make such a big deal about it. He took it further than it needed to and it escalated. In the same way that Flower cost his team the game, Hohaia's actions nearly cost his team the game too, as he was the only play maker.
Flower took it too far and should be penalised for it, but the still photo of him standing overt him makes the incident look far worse than it actually was. Flower was getting up and took a last swing, not running in to attack. Makes a big difference when you are looking at intent.'"
Flower stiff armed Hohaia from behind in classic Paul Rose style, it was a perfect close line action albeit from behind the victim! It wasn't just a coming together of two players running in the same direction, Flower deliberately hit Hohaia round the back of the head with a swinging forearm. Now I've seen some strange running styles in my life but if Flowers upper body movements while running include sweeping his forearm horizontally then it's the strangest gait since John Cleese Ministry of Funny Walks sketch.

| We see it differently Avenger. We are looking at the same video and getting a different view.
We'll just have to agree to differ.

Death threats. Really? I hope they find and arrest them.
Some absolutely horrific comments on there, I really don't get there mentality of some people.
"Go do a Newton" Was one I saw, worst one I saw was a lad tweeting about assaulting Flowers wife.
Disgusting, absolutely.

Hohaia seems to be ok with it and the chairman was happy to keep it in house.
I'm thinking that means no civil action and as the RL have now acted there is nothing more to be done.
I think Sts have been quite professional in their handling of this. They could have made it far worse.
If only Jamie Peacock handled himself so well on his Twitter account

| I think the ban is spot on - for both!
Move on!
