Hohaia charged with grade b strike with forearm

[cpwigan]

Hopefully people will now wake up and realise how corrupt RL is. Everything was arranged behind the scenes. Ben is going to get shafted and Wigan will let it happen.

[OAMJSONA]

Pray tell us what you expect them to do about it!

Greetings everyone from the tropical western offshore tax haven that is the Isle of Man. I'm a regular visitor to watch gods beloved Wigan (1985 was my first outing to CP) & routinely fly over or make the regular ferry run each season. I'm known by plenty of chaps around town,some maybe on here. Ive been monitoring the various topics for some time but not bothered posting until now,but my blood has finally boiled over at this point however! i spent all night travelling home after the final on saturday fielding txts from friends & family who were seriously aggrieved at the seemingly one sided coverage of what happened . Ive looked back several times since saturday at the replay & gone over my collection of recorded matches to check similar ground shaking events. From Origin mass brawls in Oz to ARL/NRL routine tear ups in the 80s/90s & the infamous Mozza wipe out at the DW (i was sat having horrible dejavu behind the sticks saturday!),which cost us a kangaroo tour scalp despite GB holding out admirably against messrs Lockyear & co on that occasion. As a lifelong Man Utd fan & Wigan RLFC since 85' I'm bred into the fact everyone hates you & has it in for you,but who cares that comes with being the best & the jealousy it inevitably creates. What pisses me off most (other than some of the apologists within Wigans own fans looking to appease at every turn!) is the gross ineptitude of the powers that be & none more so than the moronic leadership of the RFL. Ive organised many mini bus trips of lads from the island,who often aren't familiar with RL,to watch Wigan & GB matches down the years. Most can't help but comment on the usually farcical lack of professional leadership in RL at every level,something completely at odds with the totally professional level of the world class athletes who do battle on the field. Ive just watched on sky sports as the news broke of the 1 match ban "accepted" by Lance hoo-aru or whatever his name is & couldn't contain myself any longer. Farcical in the extreme & it won't happen but surely if the Wigan leadership had anything about them they would be screaming WTF! from the DW roof,instead of all this apologising left right & centre to any muppet with a microphone over the demon Flower. Can you image Sir Alex doing the big song & dance apology regardless of Roy Keane trying to break Haaland in half or king Eric drop kicking an obnoxious racist lout for giving him a broadside? No chance!! Ben lost it big time as many have when provoked & make no mistake he was provoked so stop apologising. I don't know anyone personally who wouldn't have sparked that little **** Hoo-aru for an elbow to the face. The follow up was totally out of order on the ground & a fitting (not OTT punishment) is just. Sadly the media frenzy & the RFL creepy crawlies at Red Hall will likely want way more than a pound of reasonable meat. This is an insular,parochial,small time,ineffective outfit who ruin a fantastic product on the field. The same loony tunes who routinely ran scared of the touring aussies,even down to letting them pick who would referee games just in case they lost. Never binning or marching the numerous kangaroo offenders trying to smash GB lads but feeling compelled to red Moz instantly when he did something similar,I've lost count down the years tbh. I lost faith ages ago in the tin pot outfit running the game & watching Westwood last year & Wood a couple of weeks ago just bogs me off even more on Ben's behalf. He will get creamed for this and sadly no one has the stones to stand up & say publicly "you lot at RFL HQ are a joke" a bunch of nanny panderers not fit to hold position,but nothing has been any different for the whole time I've ever watched the game!

= phild=a very good read and all made sense to me

The "independent panel" haven't done anything wrong as the "offence" charged meant they never had a chance of being involved with the EGP.

I just can't understand why the RFL publish THEIR grading guidelines and then totally disregard them. 4 matches isn't that long in the scheme of things and I think that would have been fair (minimum grade E suspension).

The RFL have contributed to the pantomime and witch hunt against Flower by refusing to recognise the wider incident and helped the YouTube (one punch slowed down) "experts".

I will be watching the grading of charges next year for all of the teams and see how often they go for the "whatever we want to do clause" or whether this is reserved for us.....
