Ben Flower made a comment to somebody in earshot of me about the coach Adrian Lam that was in very bad taste and completely un-professional trying to raise a laugh. So you and bigredwarrior can get down off your high horses.

What exactly does he do that is so good on the pitch? very, very average. There are about 30 Ben Flower's knocking about. Barely plays either. Not enough contribution. You rate him if you want. I don't. That is my opinion and nobody can tell me otherwise.



Your quote " i dont know another front rower with the handling and passing skills like Burke has." forgive me if I ignore your opinion of other players after that gem!

To be fair, Burke's a very skilful player for a front rower. Not a top drawer all-round player by any stretch, but he's an accomplished ball player.

Nobody mentioned Liam Watts, sadly the best prop.in SL, has to be in the England 17.


He’s been immense for us this year. Carried our pack on his own.
No other GB prop is anywhere near him in terms of MoS points or the key Opta stats for a prop.
He’s also managed to keep his temper in check.

Are penalties not a key opta stat? Every year he's up near the worst

I know Ben quite well and there is nobody can ever question his attitude. He’s been at the club for 8 years and has been a cracking professional. It’s only the last couple that he’s had injuries. He can’t help snapping an Achilles and couldn’t help being close to paralysis with his back injury. He’s put his hand up to play when he shouldn’t have done and works tirelessly in the community. So you’re perfectly entitled not to rate him as a player but if you’re going to question his attitude then that needs to be backed up with evidence. I’ll now sit back and wait for your list of 30 props of his standard.

Since you’re mentioning evidence Red please provide such re Flower’s risk of paralysis. Or was it just a back spasm as reported?
