Quote ="KingRoss11"Were you born with very little brain cells or are you just flat out thick? Gildart has broken 3 vertabraes in his back? And you think just because we have some dirty players, Ferres should get away with it? And no I didn't defend the flower incident before you say, I think he was lucky not to be sacked but imo nearly breaking someone's back is worse than punching someone undefenceless?, an 8 game ban he should get at least. And if a Wigan player did that they'd deserve the same'"
Ferres' tackle was poor. Very poor and has lead to a serious injury. But it was a poor tackle nonetheless. You could argue that it was "intentional" and you can also argue that it was "unfortunate" due to the added weight of Delaney and what looked to be Gildart pushing back. Which you pick is most likely down to which player is wearing your teams jersey.
Flower's attack ended a career (no doubt that Ferres could also have done that). One punch can be all it takes to kill somebody. I'd rather have Fatty Ferres sat on me than Biffy Ben thwacking me round the head.
