I really thought Joel would have used is noggin and ran in and waited for yeaman to give the penalty away (which no doubt would have happened)

Ominously I think it was the last game of the 2009 season when we got battered away at Huddersfield

Radford has got previous good character, anyone that batters Ryan Bailey deserves a reward not a punishment, the RFL probably said
"We'll let this Wigan incident go, but now we're even ok?"

It was poor decision making, joel should not have took the drive.

and punching someone.

its a mystery !!

Correct.



Was an accident waiting to happen. Should have been used as a dummy runner in that set you can gurantee he would have been taken out. But wether Blikers Ganson would have seen it would be another issue.

Oh yeh I definitely know where you are coming from and I think the aggression Joel was playing with for most of the 2nd half was a large part in us winning the game. Just we had a penalty under 20 metres out, 4 points behind on the scoreboard and less than 15 minutes on the clock. I felt this called for a little more composure rather than give the ball to Joel to try and effectively get revenge on Yeaman. As you say the fight seemed to lift the team and the crowd and the momentum seemed to have swung our way. We ended up getting over and winning the game anyway so thankfully it doesn't really matter, Im sure Tuson will come in for the next two and do a great job.

There was loads going on though, Fitzgibbon, Manu, Briscoe were at it too.

mistaken identity?.............jim mills used that one every time he got sent off..

yes but he ran into the fracas with the sole intention of punching someone.....

what do you expect the RFL to do?

Exactly, nobody would have a complaint or a reason to complain if all players guilty of the same offence got the same punishment. It was even in the same game for fook sake.
