Its not an excuse, just a simple understanding. To build up a clean record you need to have played here for a few years. Im not even saying that this is right, I dont think previous should count. It should be based purely on what the incident is.

Seems to me that RFL are more concerned with previous incidents, that what actually happened during the game.

Quite strange.

EDIT - Bondi Warrior i was not plagiarising, you just beat me too it

Adrian Morley's disiplinary record was carried over to Australia when he left Leeds.

I dont think they are as its a different governing body, would be unfair as they have different rules for some things.

Yes of course, but do it fairly. Giving Joel the ball straight after scrapping with Yeaman was stupidity and lead to him being sent off.

I feel sorry for the people who had to carry it then, must have been pretty heavy

A bit of double standards from Mr Agar too:

Hull coach Richard Agar said:

They are, I read it on a recent incident, I can't remember which one but I will try and find it

J.Tomkins has played long enough now to realise that you cant go in with a raised elbow and expect to get away with it wheather its after a brawl or not!

Which is bs you should get based on offence in question not the past other wise unfair on new kids and new over seas players

Again, i have got to disagree.

Without knowing if you have played at any level (i presume you will have). Giving Joel the ball to Joel was exactly the right decision. I would go as far as saying it won us the game.

If a teammate of mine did what Joel did, i would be patting him on the back, because he never let Yeaman away with it. Winning the fight and intimidating your opponent is a big, big part of the game.

Wigan were so pumped up after the biff, that they wiped the floor with Hull.

Many will disagree, but Joel did the right thing. You never heard (many) people lambasting Kelvin Skerrett for chinning someone.

Wigan over the last few years have lacked in dishing it out and people have taken liberties as a result. Yes it is not ideal losing players for a couple of games, but if that is the way it is going to be then so be it.

Which ive already said thats what I think to. Im just merely explaining how a player can and cant have a record. Im not going to bother next time as I forgot thats this is rlfans where you get all the know it alls and experts jumping on every little word you say if they dont agree.

This. 100%.

The only thing wrong with the way it was carried out on Sunday was Joel's poor technique let him down. He tried to run the ball into Yeaman like a prop would, (hitting him hard in the chest and then moving upwards to knock him on his ) and got it all wrong. He'll work on it and come back a better player for it.

I think many would disagree with you on that. Although I do think it consequently helped win us the game, so I would agree with you on the 2nd part.

The chuckle brothers got what they deserve, take your medicine and move on.

Who was on the Disciplinary Panel? Gary Hetherington, Tony Smith and the Huddersfield chairman? Or has Garry Schofield already walked into a new job?!!

The comment about Radford's good previous record is an absolute joke - bottom line is he was sent off last year for punching. When has Sam ever been sent off? Therefore his record must be superior to Radford's. As is Lima's....

When was the last time Sam missed a game for us?

We will have to agree to disagree then.

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?"
