There are few worse things in modern society than trial by social media. It's the current equivalent of pitch forks and burning torches. I'm not defending Joel here. If he's out if line he should be adequately dealt with. From the bar owner's comments it appears he already has. If it turns out more needs to be done, so be it. However, there's a right and a wrong way to go about that. Trial by social media is most definitely the wrong way. I would like to think any rationally minded person would agree. Sadly, it seems not to be the case.

From the video in question, it seemed the girls were going to contact the police with the matter. Could this constitute perverting the course of justice? Joel did appear to assault the young lady and she has been paid to keep it quiet...'"
The police were called.'"
Why not just state what you know about the incident instead of dropping the odd cryptic comment in here and there?

| Some of the comments on here make me laugh. Not because they are inaccurate, on the contrary I agree, the drunken behaviour of both brothers is shocking. I laugh because some people seem genuinely shocked. It's clear posters on here are totally sheltered and in the dark about how most of the lads are.
This video is the norm for how they behave, not just Joel and Sam, but most of the lads. There's still a 'don't you know who I am' or 'I can do what I like cos I play for Wigan' mentality at the club. Mix this will some drink, and possibly some devils dandruff and you get what you see.
This behaviour is all so common. You call for them to be sacked or suspended? Then you'd be asking for most of the team to go.
Do you think Waney or IL will see this as shocking? No. They'll be more annoyed that they were caught on camera, forcing them to react. As a previous poster said, this has already been, or they've at least tried to sweep it under the carpet.
Just like Zak was the one who got caught (when a high percentage of lads are on the beak socially) Joel and Sam are no different, they just got caught. Their guard was down to being so smashed. Sam woke up when he realised the camera was on (he'd have been just as bad as Joel otherwise) Joel was just too smashed.
Wake up people!

All the information is in this thread. I do think this has been blown out of proportion, though can agree they both come across like complete balloons

| Quote: Cherry_Warrior "But they might not have seen the video though. They may have heard about it. If the girl had sent the video to the club and they REALLY wanted to sweep it under the carpet they would have paid her to delete it im sure. That's what i would do and pretty sure the club would have thought of that if they knew and wanted to hide it. If nobody had seen the video then this put's a completely different spin on it. Although Albert Kelly reprimand for his shocking abuse of the girl in McDonald's got him a new contract! so you never know. Also, people from the club read these boards, they will see the reaction of the fans and what we think and will know how we want it dealt with. Phil Clarke admitted on the podcast that he reads them. Hello Phil
LOL,
Are you really suggesting that, purely down to his McDonalds adventure, Kelly got a new contract? Muppet!

| let this be a harsh wake up call for all the clean cut wigan fans who lambasted the wigan move for ZH saying they didn't want him at our club because he isn't a role model. half the bloody games players act like this all the time and the sooner everyone realises it the better.

| Presumably if there is a Pubwatch in Wigan they will both have been banned from all licensed premises.

Yes, and discussion to be made about Joel's long-term future at the club, hopefully, this means after the investigation they will get shut of him.

Think that is spot on from the club. It sounds like they hadn’t seen the video when the bar owner contacted the club but like everyone they are disgusted at the actual evidence.
At 29/31 years of age it seems they both still have a lot of growing up to do, especially Joel who seems to have a very high opinion of himself despite him being a failed RU convert and average back-rower in SL.

Just saw Joel in WH Smiths buying an English to French translation book, and a 'how to speak French asap' tape.

| Well done to the club. Shocking it’s too of the senior players, guys with wives and kids.
On second watch Sam didn’t do too much wrong fine is probably about right and he’ll be gone at the end of the year anyway.
Joel however was horrendous and I hope he will never represent the club again. Shouldn’t get the honour of playing in that shirt.

Wake up people!'" and this is in general with most other clubs as well too,
surly your not condoning what as happened as it sounds like it.
the reaction from the club might seem severe with fines and few games absence but at least our directors had the balls to sack Smith, Locke and Owen for drink related incidents
