Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?

I assume you have all just seen the half time replay. Hohia should have walked too.

Hohiah should have walked? Bolox

What's so funny?

Worst incident I have ever seen on a rugby field. It really could have caused some serious permanent damage.

I would not like to ever see him play again unless a real apology and lengthy ban is given

Hohia would never have walked for his part, no where near a red card offence. However he would have been penalised, perhaps have received a yellow card imo, and likely would have if not for Flowers shocking actions completely distracting everybody from it.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

1 st assault was by Flower on Hohia as he ran past, a punch thrown to the head , Hohia response was more a push

Unfortunatly Wigan will now win ,and be praised for doing so

Oh dear, you started off so well, then followed it up with some excuse for him. Hohaia should have maybe given a penalty, which Wigan may well have got had Flower not assaulted him.

No excuses or indignation can ever come close to excusing what we just watched.

Shocked that the first player ever to be sent off in a GF is a Wigan player.
Who'd have thought it. :lol:

And there's only one man to blame for players coming out with that mindset.

maybe the worst thing I've seen in 30 years of watching rugby, certainly the most stupid.

Yeah this isn't the movies where people can punch each other with no damage. In real life, people die.

No he shouldn't that hasn't been sending off all season. Penalty and sent to match review panel.
