WIGAN'S Ben Flower has discovered his fate after his red card against Wolves on Friday night.
The Welshman has pleaded guilty to the Grade C charge of reckless striking with the elbow and has been hit with a two-match ban
Warriors prop Flower, who was also fined £300, was dismissed in the 57th minute for a late, high elbow to the jaw area of Wolves scrum-half Dec Patton.
Wolves full-back Ratchford was yellow-carded by referee Robert Hicks in the 35-28 defeat at The Halliwell Jones Stadium for a professional foul on Wigan’s Lewis Tierney and the panel have ruled this as sufficient punishment.
