I think your being overly harsh because it's a Wigan player. Both didnt look that bad and IMO should of carried a warning

The one on Wilkin was worse for me because he was already tackled with two other goons on him.His only intention was to work the joint.
The one on Soliola was similar to the one that effectively finished Cayless's career.

Just watched them again, The Soliola one looks worse to me and I've changed to a 1 game ban!!
Strange how Wilkin is coming out of this as the bad guy though, When done to full effect you can finish someones career like this and he has every right to point this out to the ref, Chicken Wings are worse than biting and spitting and they are both commonly reported by players

Lima pleaded guilty to the offences.

Everybody got two match bans from the weekend's disciplinary.

All except Steve Snitch?

You thought the tackle on Wilkin was worthy of a 1 game ban?
Even if it was it would never of been reviewed if Wilkin hadn't complained to Silverwood.
A very football way of doing things and no place for it in Rugby IMO

So you would rather people got away with dirty play then?

Just shoot the messenger, why don't you, instead of condemning the guilty one.

Ah. I didn't see Steve Snitch mentioned in the Sky report. Oh well. He got a one match ban, which is almost two matches.

Well, the precedent's set, let's hope for some consistency in dealing with similar incidents for the rest of the season. Y'know, like they did with Senior's kicking out in the tackle last year. Oh, wait...

Good start for clean Wigan - one game played, one 2 match ban earned.

Dirty Saints still without a single ban since the start of the 2010 season.

Then again, is anyone surprised that Ex-Melbourne coach + Ex-Melbourne players = sh*thouse tactics in the tackle? It's hardly ground breaking is it.

Re: lima charged : Wed Feb 16, 2011 9:21 am  

Let's just hope it does put an end to this type of tackle, from all players!
