Wow. Disgraceful, fully deserved red.

That's an absolute disgrace.
I love a bit of biff, but that was terrible. Punching him on the floor like that was an absolute disgrace.
I'm actually angry after seeing that, and I'm neither a Saints or Wigan fan.

Should be banned for a very long time that was a disgraceful act of thuggery and has no place on a sports Field!

and Clarke the Wigan apologist as ever

Sums up wigan to a t. Disgusting.

That was shear thuggery. No defense could be submitted for that.

I expect he is now looking at a very lengthy ban, but more importantly he could have cost Wigan the Grand Final. He certainly has done them no favours. He'll owe his collegues a massive aplogy after this game, win or lose.

Another thug in a team of thugs. Hope Sts stuff 'em.

Arrest him

Can't ever remember anything as disgraceful as that on a rugby pitch.

Could have killed him, and that's not an exaggeration.

But this is what I've come to expect from Wane's win at all costs Wigan side

Putting aside how dirty it was. It was also one of the most brain dead things I've seen on a rugby field. 2 minutes in and he's probably cost his team the grand final.

Also I hope Hohaia is okay. A broken eye socket or something wouldn't be a surprise.

Wow! Wane really fired them up. If Wigan end up losing then shame. If they do Flower doesn't deserve his medal

Flower's actions sums up wigan really. Thugish.

I hope Wigan get an embarrassing thrashing after this.
Imagine the praise if they was to win. No praise should be given surrounding that attack.

Season long ban IMO

But he has put saints only playmaker out of the game early, wane did say he will do whatever it takes to win!

Wigan just carrying on from last week, no doubt bellend Wane will be crying afterwards

Team of thugs and cheats coached by the same

Wigan fans have their ready made excuse if they get beat.
Flower deserves his contract terminating for that.

Not an exaggeration at all. Hohaia was out before he hit ground. If you did that in street you would be expecting to spend time at her majesty's pleasure! Worst thing I've seen on a rugby field.

The first punch was reasonable enough as part of the biff of the game - the second punch when Hohaia was unconscious on the ground is just the action of a cowardly thug who should not be allowed to get way with that. If Wigan have any morals they will sack him.

It's a poor showing at a show-piece event for the sport to have such a cowardly act on display.

Cowardly act, no excuses. On par with what happened to Brian o'driscoll for the lions.

Dirty pie s. And when did o'loughlin get an exemption from the high tackle rule?

Wigan scum. Always.

Problem is now ref will probably be too lenient on Wigan now

Glad Lance is ok,

I didn't want two tragedies in two sports I love (other being Formula1) in the space of two weeks.

I'm still shocked, it took my breath away
