The only difference between Mason and Joels is that one was premeditated (Mason moved the ankle to line it up) and the other was a rash, heat of the moment action.



Both should have been punished imo, but Masons was more severe.

Im stunned JT hasnt got a ban. Maybe its because he is an up and coming England players so they let him off?

Watch him get himself banned for rest of the season on Friday now

Spot on.

Nah, he's not a thug, just TNMFMISL.

I'm not defending Joel's actions here as I think it was stupid and worthy of a sin-binning. However, if force of the kick doesn't matter as is being suggested, shouldn't Webb's kick out at the prone Sam Tomkin's have warrented whatever punishment's people are suggesting for Joel? There was nothing in it in my opinion but if force doesn't matter then it was a kick out at a player on the floor. Exactly the same offence as Joel's except that he didn't connect at all rather than just slightly, but some people seem to be suggesting that is irrelevant. Just a thought...

Two kick out offences two weeks on the run. He needs to be taken in hand by the Wigan club or he could become more than a penalty machine for you.

I agree. Although the actions were harmless in themselves, they were stupid penalties to give away.

So were Radford's 3 missed punches?

Well, going off Bailey's injuries, I'd suggest at least one connected.

He swang 4 times.



He missed 3.



HTH.

and that's the reason the RFL gave for not banning him
