Record ban for Wigan’s Flower
WIGAN prop Ben Flower was handed the longest ban in Super League history yesterday following his Grand Final dismissal for punching St Helens’ Lance Hohaia.
The 26-year-old will serve a six-month suspension until 14 April, which includes 10 Super League matches as well as the World Club Series clash with Brisbane Broncos.
Hohaia accepted a one-game suspension for a forearm strike preceding the flashpoint, which saw Wales international Flower punch the New Zealander to the ground before landing a second blow.
