Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I whakawhiwhia a Ben Flower ki te honore ki te arahi i te waiata wikitoria a Wigan i muri i tana awhina i a raatau ki te wikitoria 30-20 ki a Warrington i tana hokinga mai i te aukati e ono marama. Kāore te kaitākaro 27 tau o Wales i uru ki roto i ngā kaitākaro kaute, engari he nui tana mahi ki te whakamīharo i te kaiako a Shaun Wane i tana putanga tuatahi mai i tana tukunga atu i te tukinga whakamutunga o te Warriors ki a St Helens i te Oketopa o te tau kua hipa. 'I whakaaro ahau he ahua nui ia, kaore ia i mahi i tetahi mea mo nga marama e ono,' ka mea a Wane. 'He iti te āwangawanga ki a ia engari i whakaaro ahau he tino pai tana whakatangi - i whiua e ia etahi tangata - a i arahi ia i te waiata i roto i te ruma whakakakahu. Ko Wigan Warriors kei mua i a Ben Flower e whawhai ana ki a Micky Higham o Warrington (maui) me Roy Asotasi. He pai te hoki mai o ia. Kua whakahaweatia ia e te pāpāho engari he tangata tino pai ia.' Ko te hokinga mai o Flower i kaha ki te hanga ki te Super League derby i te wa e panui ana te haurua o te wa e hoki mai ana a Sam Tomkins ki te karapu mo te kirimana e wha tau, he po hei maumahara mo Wane. 'He mea nui nga mea katoa,' ka mea a Wane. 'He mea whakamiharo te whakahoki mai i ēnei kaitākaro. He tino whakapehapeha tātou. He mahi nui tēnei mō tātau, e whakaatu ana i te mahi tika a tātau i ētahi mea.' I runga i te mara, ko te winger Dom Manfredi te mea nui me tana tuarua o nga whakamatautau i roto i nga ra e rima i te mea e toru nga wa i haere mai ai nga Warriors mai i muri ki te wikitoria i te wikitoria tuawha i roto i nga whakataetae e rima ki te whakapakari i te tuatoru o nga waahi i te teepu. Ko Ryan Hampshire, ko Anthony Gelling me Liam Farrell hoki i pa ki te whenua i te wa i eke ai te pokapū Chris Bridge e rua nga whakamatautau mo nga manuhiri, i arahi 10-0 i muri i nga meneti 10. Ka uaua a Flower ki te whakahaere i te pōro i te wā e whakatakoto ana a Ben Currie i a ia ki te whutupaoro. 'He iti noa te tick me te tuku i etahi wa, he mea pouri, engari i whakaaro ahau he pai ta maatau whakaeke,' i kii a Wane. I whakawhiwhia e mātou ki a rātau ētahi whakamātautau me ngā pōhēhē kotahi-ki-tetahi, engari he wikitōria i ngā utu katoa mō mātou, ā, i riro i a mātou te wikitōria. Ko te whakataetae kei te piki ake i ngā taumata pūkenga, ā, ka pai ake tātou. Ka whakatakotohia e mātau he whakaaturanga tino oti i roto i te wā tata nei.' Ko te hinganga ka waiho a Warrington...
I whakawhiwhia e Wigan he wikitoria 30-20 ki a Warrington i te po o te Rāhoroi. Ko Ben Flower tana putanga tuatahi mō Wigan i roto i ngā marama e ono. I whakakorea a Flower i muri i tana kāri whero i te Whakamutunga Nui o te tau whakamutunga. I tukuna atu te kaiwhaiwhai o Wales mo te whakaeke ki a Lance Hohaia. Kei te hoki ano a Sam Tomkins ki Wigan i runga i te wha-hokohoko i te wa e whai ake nei.
