He also then landed on Prescott's head, which must have hurt more than the spear!

On the Joel subject, we have been crying out for an enforcer for ages and with Joel we have one in the making and he reminds me a bit of a young Morley, it will take a few daft penalties and a few more years under his belt but he will get there in the end, Joel is in this years dream team, made his England debut and people are calling for him to be dropped because of a brain fart.

He just needs MM and SW to sort his discipline out but not rub it out completely, look at Wayne Rooney for instance, he needs that bit of temper and aggression for him to play at his best and I think Joel and Sam are the same.

BOLLOCKS!!! He's one dirty cocky, arrogant little ! to kick a man while he's down?? house who does it week in week out!

Lets see him do it to the aussies...... you'll find him awol!!!

He's niggly not dirty, arrogant? you can't realyl get that from a rugby match.
he's a brilliant player who yes needs to cut the stupid things out, but he's definately not a sh*thousel if you think that then you clearly don't watch him much.

Bleedin' marvelous,we have to put up with all the blinkered idiots who blindly support their particular team of angels, comes to Wigan and they are asking for one of their own to be banned, crazy.What's this need to feel apologetic to other teams? Are you really Wigan supporters?

where are you from land of the thick giants.

Less of the beef eh?

Danny McGuire hit him in the face with an elbow then when getting up tried to slap Joel in the face, Joel kicked out which he shouldn't have done and was penalised for it.

I bet you when Joel plays against the Aussies for England you will be chanting his name.

It is the wrong time of the year to drop Joel now, we definitely need him if we are to get to O T . Sorry if this has been mentioned as I have not read all the threads , but I think Madge should fine him for every stupid penalty he gives. If he does not cut out all his childish behaviour he is going to get into serious trouble. It can cost us the game also. Sam also has the same tendences although not quite as bad as Joel, but between them they are giving themselves and the club a bad name .Grow up boys, you have no need to act as you do.

Tell that to Richie Myler.

Stop trying to dig back up the Myler incident that even bloody Richie didn't have a problem with.

It beggars belief that you think a blatent kick is only worthy of a sin binning......

Kicking in the junior game carries a hefty ban no questions asked. Should be the same in the Pro Game if you ask me.

Who?

The ONLY reason prescott did not land on his head was because he was able to move his head towards his chest

Buderus fully drove him head first into the ground it was very very close to being very dangerious

Lol i love the witch hunts on here after a loss.

Half our team would be on the scrap heap by now if some of the people on here were running the show. Lets just thank our lucky stars that Madge has a little bit more of a cool head.

Oh btw for anyone doubting Joel this season just look at the link below;

Joel's talent and place in the squad will not be under question by either Madge or Wane.

Spot on.

I can't believe i've read people questioning his place in he side. Our pack wouldn't be anywhere near as effective or aggressive without Joel in there. He plays the game on the edge in everything he does and thats why he makes some errors and gives away some pens but he brings more then enough to the party.

One of the first names on the sheet for me.
