The Welshman became the first player in the history of the Grand Final to be sent off, after twice punching St Helens stand-off Lance Hohaia. Referee Phil Bentham was left with little option by 26-year-old Flower, who knocked Hohaia to the ground, before striking his defenceless opponent with a right hook to the face as he lay on the floor. Hohaia was helped from the field in a daze, while Flower's act of brutality left his teammates to play for 77 minutes with only 12 men.
