Mistimed! Lol! He didn’t need to get involved in the tackle period!! I hope Flower cops a career ending injury very soon as he seems so intent on doing it to fellow professionals.

He can get involved as the third man but only if he makes the legs tackle above the knees. Clearly goes below the knees and that is a dangerous tackle resulting in injury.

Would expect a severe sanction as this kind of tackle was banned years ago. At least a 3-4 week ban to reinforce the rule.

Edit. MR.

And they allow this rubbish on here another brain dead

And yet another one infects this forum.Also posted on the Wigan one....Sad!

Ben Flower (Wigan) – Grade C Dangerous Contact – 2 Match Penalty Notice

Partington,4 match ban,The ref was a disgrace.

Flower is a bit of an oxymoron.

I can think of a better word.

Nice

I see you have added a full stop to give the impression that the words you have quoted stood alone, removing the qualification/explanation.

Bit cynical and self-righteous, innit? Bit of chicken-wing punctuation, some cannonball editing.

So because I didn't delete the full stop in error means comments wishing injuries on players are ok does it?

I tell you what, I take it back. I hope flower keeps doing what he does and never gets what he deserves. Snowflake society.

You added or moved the full stop.

The original quote is arguably about preventing injuries to most players by having one fewer player in the game intent on causing them. Personally I’d prefer that Flower and his ilk convert en masse to Buddhism and go to live in Tibet or something like that. Although I’m resigned to Wigan have plenty of young players coming through their ranks who’ll quickly learn the ways of the referee-blind spot maiming tackle.

Wigan will continue being Wigan.

We’re the ones who need to change and while we should never listen to the bs narrative spun by Wigan supporters/apologists, we can, I hope, watch and learn from your team’s ruthlessness and shamelessness. For now, as victims, the best we can do is recognise your attempted gaslighting for what it is.

Enjoy the rest of the season.
