Yes. Next question.

Barry Mac just got it spot on. He said I can understand why he reacted but it doesn't excuse what he did. To suggest it was a premeditated plan is laughable. Do you actually think that any team would plan to get their best prop sent off after 2 mins? Grow up and see things for what they are. It was a reaction from a fired up player in a final.

After watching the WCC documentary, I can very much imagine Wane telling his team to 'bash him' and whatever else. Bit of a coincidence that 2 minutes in someone's swinging at Hohaia - Saints' only recognised half. Flower just took it way too far.

He should be looking at 15 games or so in my opinion.

Nonsense. Kevin Sinfield is one of the most gracious losers you'll ever see. He's also Leeds (and SL I think) most successful ever captain.

Accepting losing is a totally different thing to showing respect to your opponents and fellow pros.

Wellens spoke highly of Wigan in his speech. The least they should do is stay on the field to applaud the Saints players up for the trophy.

Are you Eastbourne Warrior in disguise?

Are you really trying to justify Flower's actions?

Flower started it in back play. Lance retaliated man to man, then flower retaliated, man on man.

....But then.....flower went full retard.

No but that's utterly irrelevant given how out of proportion the response was. Flower started it, Lance aggrevated it and flower's reaction was GBH
