Vintage stupidity from Joel.

Snatched a partial defeat from the jaws of comprehensive victory.

I wouldnt mind the uproar if they actually had a scrap. Ive seen better headbuts in a premier league football game and as for Joel 'braindead' Tomkins, he couldnt punch his way out of a wet paper bag (no, i wouldnt say that to his face)

it wasnt exactly on a par with Farrell & Sculthorpe was it

Haha yeah can you imagine if we had a Farrell and Sculthorpe fight now!!!

That ban seems farcical to me, particularly given Zak's disciplinary record. You can't headbutt another player for no reason (other than sour grapes at getting battered). I was expecting a 6-7 game ban. No fan of Joel Tomkins but difficult to understand him getting a longer ban for retaliation on behalf of his brother.

The quote Lee Radford came out with regarding Liam Watts' head-butt springs to mind...

"It was a pathetic attempt at a head-butt first and foremost and it was a crazy time to do it and crazy to anything like that in any game as well."

2 games is enough. If he'd stood in front of him and butted him square in the face then he'd deserve much more but it was only slightly worse than what goes on in tackles when the tackler pushes his head in the face of the person he'd tackled.

I can't recall him having a bad disciplinary record on the pitch?

Liam Watts only got 3 games for a clear 1-on-1 headbutt. Westwood 4 games. Both have worse disciplinary record than Hardaker.

4 games for Tomkins

Definitely soured that 48-0 humiliation.... how the Catalans will live with themselves, I’ve no idea.

Maybe by replacing Wigan in 2nd place?
