Think we should be careful with this thread. The police are investigating, if they press charges then it would become a sub-judice matter

The saints player s been charged too

Do you think the police will let him off ?

It was a disgusting violent act but the most important game of the season had just kicked off, Flowers is pumping adrenalin in front of 70,000 screaming fans. He's hit with a forearm and he turns into the raging Hulk. The red mist came down for him. He's lucky he managed to stop thumping. I'm just glad Hohaia has recovered. It was sickening to watch but he will regret that burst of temper for the rest of his life. I just hope they don't get the police involved and he gets a lengthy ban and that all parties can make up. The Union loving press are loving it.

I still think wane is to blame .

If u watch the video he said knock someone out be reckless Anything to win , he got them so wound up , that's why Flowers did what he did

That video is from years ago when Wigan were in Australia and has been very carefully edited. It's on a documentary.

Hohaia has made an early guilty plea and been given a one match ban.

I have to say that having seen Lance's initial elbow, that is worthy of a sending off also. In no way am I defending Ben Flower's actions but if he had not given Lance the second shot we would not be all talking about this now. My personal view is that Ben Flower pulled the second shot and it looked worse than it was in slow motion. It makes a mockery when you see RU players blatantly stamping on another players face and not being dismissed.

that's just it Lances wasn' t the initial start of it Flowers took a swipe at Lance, hence his retiliation

You see players get pushed out of the way when they are dawdling in the offensive line every week.

Video is from this season, as the team is wearing this seasons kit.

Sorry you are right but it's not the team talk form Saturday it's from the World Club thing.
