[iOn Slater, Brown said
Nathan Brown had his number back when he was at St George. Wigan have always been hard to like but this lot are up there in the s***house stakes.

Carmonts was not reckless. Someone had already made the initial contact (Farrell I believe) which made Hauraki's head drop slightly from the force of the tackle which is why Carmonts tackle hit high. Wasn't intentional or reckless at all.

No you've justified why it wasn't intentional - it hit the face and was therefore reckless.

Can you read everyones minds or just Wigan players?

sorry thats wrong. carmonts not a dirty player but he got it all wrong

That's just my opinion, which I am perfectly entitled to. I don't see why your just saying this to me, how can you lot tell it's reckless.

In reply to a previous post, I would assume the RFL's definition of reckless, is the same as this; "heedless of danger or consequences; careless". Now we can't tell what Carmont was thinking but I would assume he wasn't acting recklessly.

If you are in any doubt about Lima's intentions and if you are in any doubt as to whether that is the way MaGuire coaches his teams just watch WIgan's warm ups. They were practising the thing on each other.

Yeah, Wigans tackling technique has been two up top and one round the legs ever since Maguire came. Watch an NRL game, its standard fair.

To be fair lock and leg tackles are the way to slow the ptb and are coached in many teams, the issue is more about how it's approached as the ball carrier is more vulnerable.

Not just fine, it's highly commendable.

Carmont's was a flat hand across the player's face.
Nothing will be done.

Lima was binned as he was judged to have tackled the standing leg of Clarkson. Which is foul and dangerous play in the new rule.
When you look at the replay Clarkson was not on a standing leg.
"Standing" of course means stationary.
Clarkson was running at the two Wigan tacklers with his legs pumping pushing them back. At the point of impact Clarkson's leg was off the ground as he was still running.
At no time in the incident was Clarkson stationary and on a standing leg.
Lima tackled a man running with the ball.
It was a very legitimate tackle.

so what if it was his open hand?
he was high
he was reckless/careless call it what you will
he broke his opponents nose.

he deserves a ban

Won't get one!

The bottom line is, the next team to play Wigan will benefit from any punishments - we had ten minutes less of Lima. Imagine if he had been sent off how we would have benefitted.

The Carmont incident should have been picked up by the chuckle brother....
