We got our monkey off of our back by winning the Challenge cup.

St.Helen's got their monkey off of their back by winning the Grand Final and being champions.

There is also another primate included in this year and we all know who he is. !!!!

But fortunately said primate has no shiny toys to play with this year - sad hey?

Yep, he has now come out in the press in defence of Flower. How can you defend that ?

Has he called it a witch hunt on Flower yet?

And how can the RFL just sit there and say nothing?

did you really make a joke about the holocaust?

It is what is called double standards by the RFL. They will slap his wrist and he'll walk away with an 8 match ban probably. It made me laugh, that sky were advertising the up and coming boxing match that night in the interval.

The best quote by Barrow police on twitter: "When out and about tonight don't act like @WiganWarriorsRL Ben Flower or you will end up #bangedupinbarrow" - He will be reviled by all RL fans apart Wigooners as he has brought the best game into disrepute and that is all that Grand final will be remembered for now - an act of pure thuggery. Shame as St.Helen's were good winners and have played good rugby with an injured squad.

A difference between sticks and stones may break bones but alleged words don't hurt phisically

Better to be a homophobe than punch a bloke. There's the Southstander moral standard.

Just because some consider physical violence worse than some name calling doesn't make them wrong and you right. This high & mighty moral compass is a pretty arrogant position to hold.

Basically your telling everyone what their moral priorities should be!! not sure why you consider your position to be more appropriate?

Assault/GBH is still considered a very serious crime in this country far more serious than prejudice - perhaps the powers that be have it wrong too?

Depends on the context.....

Case A, the homophobia is gay man being verbally and physically targeted/bullied because of his sexuality, and the punching is one guy cracking another whilst both stood up facing each other having an argument.

Case B, the 'homophobia' is an RL player blowing a kiss to another straight player and maybe calling him a poof, and the punching one is cracking a guy who is on the floor unable to defend himself.

In Case A I'd say the homophobic issue is worst, in Case B I'd say the punching was the worst.

Who cares about worst action.

What is wrong is a troll who has an history of anti Semitic views, and a poster who only weeks ago wished that a referee would crash and die on his way home, are trying to tell others what is right or wrong.

Do you have a spreadsheet just full of bookmarks or do you literally trawl through hundreds of posts to find stuff like this? Either way... a bit sad don't you think?

It's a split second job otherwise known as a [url=https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=gotcha+southstander+rlfans+knob+jockey[uGoogle Search![/u[/url

You have quite a good memory there, I would have never been able to recollect the exact words another poster used 8 months ago.

I remembered Gotcha using the homophobic term in the immediate aftermath of Hardaker's homophobic abuse of the referee away at Warrington. A quick google search turned up that result, plus his previous use of the terminology which was directed at the coach McDermott way back in February.

Ahh I remember that post, it was in reply to you claiming something along the lines that GH would try and ensure that Wakey would go down as losing the money from the Bradford attendance would be less appealing to him and the Leeds club........how did that work out again?

His wife took on the role of dominatrix?

That quote of yours is amusing on several SL levels

do you remember the time when you used to be good at this trolling malarkey?

Is the rarity of actually being able to visit this board post a GF instead of going into annual hibernation effecting you?

You can't let anything go can you Printer?

It's more often than not a point scoring exercise when you make a post.

You like to dish it out but can't take it which is rather sad.

You can't even register any amusement in that quote of yours at all, can you?

Have you ever laughed at yourself?

Go on - you have the last word - I promise I wont reply.

The winner of the pot, kettle, black award. The man who has just recently changed his avatar to Shaun Wane in a Leeds kit.

Except he hasn't.

He actually specifically said he couldn't defend his actions.

Don't let that spoil your fun though.

Those Shaun Wane quotes in full:

[i"I'm not going to try to (defend Flower). It's a red; he's punched him in the head and deserved to go"[/i

[i"He's devastated. He's made a huge error today but we just move on, we're all in it together. I've made mistakes and he's made one today"[/i

[i"I'm really proud of the desire we showed to stick at it. We broke them time and time again and could have scored more tries. I thought we could have won the game and that was my mind-set (after the red card). It would have been a great victory for us"[/i

[i"Keeping them to 14-6 with no Micky Mac (injured hooker Michael McIlorum) and Ben was a great effort but Saints were worthy winners"[/i
