Watch Hohaia - after the ball goes up he bounces on his toes watching Flower, and then moves into his path, turning his back as he does so. He gets knocked down, jumped up and sprints at Flower and hits him in the face with his...yes, forearm.

Chasing play? Chasing a big Welshman more like.

Mate, give it up you're just embarrassing yourself.

No one needs to defend Hohaia's push because it was so insignificant

It's this or Formula 1 and I find F1 more boring than a good RL outrage.

Yes, he gets knocked down, by a punch to the back of the head

A PUNCH TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD

Ok fair enough it wasn't you who said elbow, but again what you are trying to do is deflect some kind of blame from Flower, otherwise why are you trying to prove LH started it. He didn't flower pushed LH over with what looks like a punch to the back of the head. He started it and finished it. LH did sprint at Flower because he was chasing the ball and if you remember Flower had just dropped the ball with the try line begging, if you are looking for an excuse maybe the fact he bombed a try was more likely.

Hohaia clearly moves into Ben Flower's path, which he is not allowed to do. Flower doesn't have to run around him, he's entitled to continue running in a straight line. Perhaps it's you who needs to take your anti-Wigan specs off

Funny how there's much being made of Wigan fans supposedly defending Flower's punch, when almost everybody else is defending Hohaia's elbow to the face. It's all quite hypocritical.

So from next season the rules are if you are stood in the route of a chasing player, you are free game for a swinging arm.

I missed that rule change. Did that come in from the NRL, the International rules, the RFL or the I'm making the rules up as I go along.

I hope you have a good legal team with allegations like that.

Wouldn,t need to Wane has already been quoted as saying "he has given permission to his players to be reckless" and we also have excellent video footage, if ever Lance took this to court (which he won't) I think he would have a strong case for ABH.

Nobody needs to defend LHs 'elbow' to the face, it didn't happen.

Re: Ben Flower : Sun Oct 12, 2014 11:32 am  

I honestly don't know by there are pages commenting on what happened before hand. It is completely irrelevant what happened. All that beforehand is RL biff. The punch on the ground an a disgusting act.

One or two fans who normally defend thei team to the death, who know they can't in this situation are trying I make out fans are being hysterical by saying he could o to prison or killed Hohaia. No it's not, it's fact. He could have killed Hohaia and this tweet by Barrow police suggests te severity!!

@barrowpolice: When out and about tonight don't act like @WiganWarriorsRL Ben Flower or you will end up #bangedupinbarrow

LOL at Ben flower with his head in his heads. What did he think was going to happen? That's a cowardly act by anyones standards. If wigan lose I hope that eats away at him the rest of his life and causes depression.

Really?
