My thoughts exactly. Wigan certainly seem to know what to say in these things. Wonder if they went with the 'heat of the moment' thing

Ha don't get me started on this. The handling of Tet was nothing short of a disgrace.
Been far worse things done since...... 'most given 1-2 matches. How a' slightly mistimed tackle, can be twice as bad as head butting someone is beyond me.....!

God we arent still going on about Tetevano's ban surely? The club accepted the ban without appealing.

Re: Hardaker : Tue Jun 01, 2021 6:58 am  

Not particularly linking it to the Tetevano ban but it does seem a very hard to explain judgement. Much as I dislike Joel Tomkins he will potentially get a ban double the size of hardakers for an instinctive reaction to an unprovoked headbutt on his brother!
Not sure the ban would be the same if the incident happened the other way round.
I know that there are supposed to be scales for things but the circumstances and running order of incidents should be considered. JP would have got a huge ban nowadays for his reaction to Willie Mason knocking Fielden out!

I HAD TO CHECK MY DIARY, I THOUGHT IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE 1ST APRIL NOT 1ST JUNE.
ZAK MUST HAVE BEEN DEALT WITH IN A LENIENT MANNER DUE TO HIS EXEMPLARY GOOD BEHAVIOUR IN THE PAST!!
MANY NEUTRAL FANS DISLIKE THE TOMKINS BROTHERS INTENSELY BUT FOR JOEL TO RECEIVE A LONGER BAN THAN ZAK IS A JOKE

ONE FINAL THOUGHT, NO ONE WAS MORE OF A GENTLEMAN ON THE FIELD OF PLAY THAN KRIS RADLINSKI AND ONE CANNOT HELP WONDERING WHY HE PERSISTS IN BEING EMPLOYED BY A CLUB WHO SEEM TO BE A BREADING GROUND FOR THUGGISH BEHAVIOUR E.G. TOMKINS BROS, McALLORUM, FLOWER

Absolutely outrageous. The game is a joke. 2 match ban for a deliberate head butt!!! Wow. Though Leeds didn’t appeal Tetevanos ban Agar publicly criticised the length of the ban. He must he seething. The game over here is so tin pot amateur at times it’s laughable

Re: Hardaker : Tue Jun 01, 2021 8:05 am  

I like Hardaker, met him numerous times through a mutual friend, and he’s been a top lad. Question is, how the hell did he only get 2 games for violent conduct?

Re: Hardaker : Tue Jun 01, 2021 8:53 am  

I actually think 2 games is about right, he barely made any contact.

Yeah it probably is, but I think we are taking issue that Tet got 4 matches for far less, with no malicious intent....!
