Flower fined 50% 3 months wages by wigan : Fri Nov 21, 2014 1:49 pm  

Ouch.
50% of his wAges docked for 3 months with a further 3 months suspended.
Wigan claim he has brought the name of the wigan club into disrepute.

Now forgive me for being cynical- or don't I don't really care! But isn't flower being made a scapegoat for the fact Wigans dirty tactics encouraged by Wane backfired and they ended the season as potless as us.

Does this set a precedent that every time mccllorum loss his cool he should be fined?

Will be interesting to see what happens the next time one of their players cops a ban for foul play now !!

What flower did went beyond anything else though

Bet if it hadn't been the grand final he'd not have copped such a hefty ban though

They had to hit flower hard! The grandfinal is the pinicle of our season! All eyes are watching and flowers follow up punch to the man on the deck was shocking! No doubt it wouldn't have been as strong if it wasn't the grandfinal but it is what it is and flower can't really complain and hasnt

Yes the follow up was shocking- but an initial punch can be just as shocking. Hohaia was fine. But yet mcillorum broke someone's jaw and wigan didn't fine him. The police have this "one punch can kill" campaign- that same one punch by mcillorum could end someones life (before I get the keyboard "warriors" laughing that off -remember one punch CAN and HAS killed and I'm not suggesting it would but a hard enough punch in the right place can be fatal-)
But yet wigan doesn't fine mcillorum.
It's just a load of balony to appease the outrage- flower has been the victim of scapegoating to me!

Scapegoat or not, he should pay it with grateful thanks that he's not sitting in a cell this Christmas.
