How did he cope for the other 5 or 6 years he's played first grade?

I know. It was a pathetic defence.

wasn't the two ref system brought in to stop melbourne's shithousing in the ruck?

Therefore what he's saying is, i've been playing with two refs watching me, now i'm back to one i thought i could get away with it?

Maybe he needs a ref in his ear saying 'Let go of his arm Jeff' at every tackle otherwise he forgets?

There were at least three similar tackles in tonight's Cas v Huddersfield game. Let's see if they get picked up.

As I said on the Wigan board, all we (players, coaches and supporters) want is consistency.

Agreed, Luke O'Donnell in particular seemed to be a prolific offender.

What we want is different from you, we want consistent fair play.

I must have missed one but the two I saw were slightly different in that in one instance the player was held whilst srtanding and in the other one the second tackler had let go. The lima thing was different in that wilkin was held on the ground with nowhere to move his torso i.e. he couldn't just twist away from the lima KFC effort. I believe thats why the punishment on lima may seem harsh (or not harsh enough depending on your standpoint).
