(Heenan to Marler "Hey brother, you mad eh?")

Read an article earlier which stated even Marler's wife won't defend him.

Just think his ban would be acceptable for a first offence - but it is far from that.

Listening to the Jim Hamilton podcast this week, Andy Goode was saying that the RFU charged Marler under their own laws rather than under the World Rugby regs which have much stricter bans for low/ medium/ high-end severity.  This is why they were able to suspend four of the six weeks (due to his clean record and good behaviour...?)

Marler deserves a much longer ban . . . that was not sledging or banter it was totally offensive and contrary to every value rugby espouses. Karl Dixon could obviously hear it and should have taken action before the flare up!!

A lot of analysis on this going on - can anyone say that Marler knew that his mum had cancer and was in hospital? We know sledging exists and no doubt probably experienced it at some point in time. 

Yes, it wasn’t a nice thing to say especially once we are aware of the mother in question and her sad situation. He has been punished, he shouldn’t have said it, and is likely wishing he hadn’t. Perhaps instead let the powers that be use this situation to educate and promote better standards and set higher values for our international ’ England’ squad players to portray at all times.
Onward and Upwards C'mon Donny!

In my day if you swore at an opponent in any way it was a penalty . . Dixon obviously heard him say his mother was a f@cking betel nut and should have intervened then!!!

Pat Lam’s view which of course won’t satisfy the “hang him high” brigade:

Lam is happy the matter has been dealt with and still holds a lot of affection for Marler who has apologised several times to Heenan, privately and in public.

“It’s been handled,” Lam said. “As I said at the time, we love Joe. It was handled very well in the sense that he apologised to Jake straight away, that evening, and Jake accepted it.

“The formal process went through and he apologised again. As far as we’re concerned it’s closed and we all move forward.

“There’s still a lot of love for Joe and I think he’s shown a lot of remorse. Apologies are good but I think forgiveness is the best thing, so let’s all move on.”

It is nuts you can get punished more for saying a naughty word than for taking someone out late, injuring them and ending their career.
