I know it would never happen as it mean our boys are not getting the support they need. But it would hurt other clubs big style if our travelling supporters stopped putting money through the turn styles and just attended home games. Sad for Ben but he was going to be made an example of. Hope he comes back a better man. And he will have my support.

A similar incident in rugby union happened a few seasons ago, Andy Hazell, lost it and set into a French forward in a European cup game, not only did he use his fists but his knees as well. He got a 14 week ban, just over half of what flower has got and I think it's a lot worse! Take a look at this and see how it compares to the flower incident! Surely there has to be some consistency in general sport disciplinary procedures, nevermind if it's league or union or they have different disciplinary boards etc

So do those happy clappers still not think the RFL have it in for us, takes the effing piss, man hit off the ball with a ferocious forearm to the jaw, Ohio will probably get a slap on the hands and told not to do it again, The Fat Wassock and his remedial followers need to be replaced the pack of incompetant Tw@ts :eusa17: :evil:

Just had to have a look when Good Friday falls in 2015 as I thought his first match back might be the stains, which would've been one of those great sporting coincidences!

Turns out its 3rd April - so no chance of that.
