We just need to let it go........

Agree fully! does no good for the club, Town and game! - as they say "He who laughs last, laughs Longest" - watch out that is not egg on the face with any disapproval pushing Wigan on even more to win! Just play the game and everyone available give it their Best, nothing more you can ask for.

Agree but I have long since realised that, where parochialism exists, common sense is an unwelcome visitor....

The cognoscenti of LP will be baying for blood on Friday as usual. Quite sad really.

IMO, the smart move from a Wigan perspective would be to have him in the starting 13 but give him strict instructions not to touch the ball for the first couple of sets, let the game get going and take the heat out of it.
If he takes the first ball up he's going to get smashed and that'll just lift the Saints crowd especially if they force an error which is very likely.

PS, can't wait for this, should be a cracker !

Indeed. Would have been interesting to see the first tackle if we still has Soliola.

Just ignore him.

I'll guarantee Sky will be droning on about it.

Yes, they will ignore the game and go on about Flower instead.

What is this nonsense about him 'gifting' us the game? Have you all fallen for Wane's ridiculous claim that Flower was worth a 30 point turnaround, because obviously teams NEVER get a result when they go a man down (unless they are playing Wigan, in which case going a man down galvanises them and actually improves their performance).

On a similar note, the "Ben Flowe f-ed it up" song is entirely cringeworthy.

Not saying we wouldn't have won without that happening as I believe we could. Having your opposition to 12 men on the field for the entire game is a bit of a 'gifted' advantage though

how about a collective turn of the back if he comes off the bench.

Surely best just to give him the attention we give to all other bang-average players. His antics might have elevated him to god like status in the eyes of Wigan fans but we don't need to follow suit.

It wouldn't have needed to be a 30 point turnaround though, just 9. I don't think we'd have won that match had he not been sent off. Still, one of the great Grand Finals though





Fully agree. We should be singing about Saints, not Wigan. It's embarrassing at times.

We'd have won the Grand Final whether he'd stayed on or not. The Grand Final was over as a contest the moment Mose/Sia smashed the Goon player fifteen yards backwards on the first tackle. Our pack would have marmelised their's, whether Flower had been there or not. It was in the stars.

It did seem like it was written in the Stars didn't it ?

I don't think we would have won if flower hadnt been sent off. It's not that he's a good player but the fact the goons was a man down for 72 mins and still looked better then us in attack.

Flower messed up and we won so I'll take that. I won't be cheering or booing Flower as he's a nothing plsyer that become infamous over one of the worst incidents I've seen on a rugby league pitch.

What he did in the final was appalling, but that doesn't put him in the same league of scum as Hock or Newton. He's just a very average player who had a major brain fart and will suffer for ever as a result. The others were vermin on and off the pitch who the game would be better off without

The bloke deserves a standing ovation.

Grand Final is confined to history, it's going to hot out there tomorrow for your big forwards, but what a game in prospect.....can't wait.

Possibly, but they had to get the ball wide at every opportunity because they got absolutely minced down the middle. Did Crosby even get into double figures for meters made? Plus we had turner, Flanagan and wellens directing our attack!! Haha

I couldn't care less about flower. What's done is done.

He's not good enough to warrant booing.



It would be like the Wiganers ganging up on Chris Morley or Simon Booth or Chris Dean.

We should be cheering loudly every time Flower gets the ball.

This ^^.
It would wind the goons up even more.
Good luck Saints.

Flower's stats are appalling. At the rate Wane's going I'm certain one of his front line props will finish a match with ZERO carries.

Flower is working his way to ZERO, the little petal only 4 carries for 32 metres this week I believe.
