'I'm devastated' - Flower

Wigan prop Ben Flower has spoken of his 'devastation' after becoming the first player to be sent off in a Super League Grand Final.
The 27-year-old Welsh international is halfway through a six-month banimposed for punching stand-off Lance Hohaia during the opening minutes of the Warriors' 14-6 defeat by St Helens in last October's title decider at Old Trafford.
Speaking for the first time since the incident, Flower told Sky Sports News: "I think about it every day and if I could take it back, I would, every day of the week.
Flower added: "The game was so intense and I've just thrown a punch. I've got no recollection of throwing the second. I don't know why I threw it. I don't know why I couldn't hold myself back."
