Is it me or has rugby league suddenly lost it's credibility as a hard man's sport?
A 10 match ban for what was basically a red mist reaction to a forearm smash in the face?
The other lad has been banned for just the one match for his part in this.
For a sport that prides itself on "not being a poof's game like football", is this rugby league admitting it's now a woofter's game?
Quote:Wigan prop Ben Flower has been given a six-month ban after twice punching St Helens' Lance Hohaia during Saturday's Grand Final.
Flower, 26, punched Hohaia to the ground then landed a second blow while the New Zealander lay prone.
