Wigan Rugby player Ben Flower punches a Saints player K.O, then punches Lance Hohaia whilst unconcious. Should there be repurcussions.? Is this behaviour O.K in a game of sport? Any body seen it?.Any thoughts? Joey Barton giving his support to Ben Flower.
 
A push then a retaliatory punch which put hohaia out cold then another punch ( bad one ) while he was sparked! Very bad! Good game though.
 
Rugby players are thugs shocker.

Yeah, the gentleman's game where respect is paramount.
 
If this happened during a football match he would be banned for life. But rest assured the RL will ride this one out on the old 'it's man's game' ruse. (excuse)
 
it's a family game, you know.

i expect st helens will have been happy to play 99% of the game against 12 players.
 
Those who haven't seen it:

Try doing that in town on a night out, see what the consequences are then. I don't understand why it's not a criminal act just because it's on a sports field.
 
Roy Keane kicked people in the head. Cantona kicked a spectator in the chest. Alan Pardew ?, Suarez eats people ffs ! Let's not get too high and mighty eh ?
 
First punch was fair game, Hohaia elbowed him. Second was just cowardice. Punching someone on the floor who's out cold.

I see rugby fans post about the diving and play acting, but I never much when a rugby playing does a chicken wing tackle, a grapple tackle, spear tackle and a cannonball tackle.

They both trying to cheat to gain advantage, but only one would cause serious damage.
 
just seen a vid of some aus thug called duncan macrae thumping a lions player 11 times while he was on the floor some years back, he got sent off and given a seven week ban. seven weeks is a pat on the back.
 
I know I should be outraged, but I'm really not.

I'd rather be punched in the head than bitten by a **** with dodgy teeth.
 
if you were playing a cup final and one of the opposition makes his hopes that your team wins in such a blatant way you'd have to thank him.
