This so-called Disciplinary Panel are revealed as a bunch of Politically-Correct ninnies!
How they reached the decision on JP is entirely disregarding human nature.
It is quite normql to hit someone back when attacked (especially in such a snaky, cowardly way). That's how we won the war - after all, isn't it?
The nation celebrated the 70th anniversity of D-Day on the very same day - What appalling irony! Was this not a supreme act of retaliation against the Nazis?
We would even now be under Germany's oppressive yolk if the decisions had been taken by the "Disciplinary Panel"

Then for Hardaker to be facing a possible 8-match (!!!) ban for one out-of-place word, which only skilled lip-readers could guess at anway is nothing short of the "lunacy of the Committee"!
Whatever happened to Common Sense???

My generation was brought up on sayings such as -
"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me"
Anyone else remember those dear now-departed days?
We are forced to assume that this "Panel" simply cannot understand how, in the heat of battle, angry words slip out without thought.
They quite obviously have never been in the heat of a Rugby League match...

HOLY FROTHING DRIVEL BATMAN!

Egg-sactly. Should never cop a ban for such a poultry offence.

I don't know who the disciplinary committee consist of. I seem to remember several weeks ago the Hull KR management saying the committee was not fit for purpose .
Pehraps that remark may be subject to disciplinary proceedings , bearing in mind they seem prepared to throw the book at Hardaker.

Does he play for Wigan?

This I like.
