No fan of Joel but i do believe he was justified in his actions absolute laughable 2 games didn't benny westwood receive 4-5 games for the same offence

I sometimes wonder why we do not appeal against what sometimes appear to be a rather harsh bans.

Didn't Lineham get 8 for a Squirrel grip and squeaky clean makinson got 5 last season? What a joke! Clear Wigan bias there, has to be. Disciplinary panel is a loving disgrace, no wonder the sport isn't growing, being run by these morons in the RFL.

The world is mad.
I butt somebody, 2 games.
I hit someone in the back, who was obstructing, 3 games.
I call someone polynesian ... 8 games.
I hit someone who has just butted my brother ????
I am not sure we have things in perspective.
(and I am the voice of reason on this forum).

I'll have a word with Cull the next time I see him in Morrisons that he needs to cut out the Wigan bias

Nothing for Escare surprises me.

I don't think it was malicious but with what we know re brain injuries, such incidents should be dealt with more harshly.

If you follow the disciplinary "logic"

Joel should be getting top end of his charge in terms of games.

He missed the end of last year and the start of this year on a ban.

His record is worse than linehams

Some have in the past suggested Cullen for our CEO, at the moment it seems a disciplinary department is even too taxing.

At this rate I can see players getting seriously hurt.

Why are we all surprised with Wigan and there mates at the disciplinary...it's gone on for years...

To be fair it was a headbutt worthy of a Premiership footballer, like the rest of his performance in that match it lacked commitment. The panel probably took that into account.

It was a head butt. He should have received a much bigger ban.
