I didnt think he could go down any further in my estimation, but he surpassed himself today.

The whingeing little girl.

Im not going to comment on his accusation, due to it being very subjective, let the beak sort that one out

The ref had no decision but to put it on report as he had not seen anything.
He obviously had seen the tackle but thought it was fair, its not like it was an off the ball incident or behind his back.

This is not the kind of thing I want to see in RL. I want to keep RL a mans game and save playground antics like this and simulation for football.

Maybe a hefty penalty for the official compaliner is the accused is vindicated?

Who do you support?

isnt that exactly what the "on report" function is for?

things that the ref and touch judge havent seen. At the end of the day, we dont want any more Melbourne style chicken wings coming into our game than there already is.

To be honest I think wilkin made a fool of himself crying to the ref but it didn't shock me he did tho. I can't ever recall seeing a player go to the ref to make a complaint like he did.

He was more focused on watching himself on the big screen all night.

totally agree with you there.

just for the record, I support Wigan, not that its relevant, had it been on of our squad doing this I would be saying the same, not on your forum though.

I thought the "on report" function was for things the ref wasnt sure of, or things brought to his attention by the linesmen, that he didnt see. Not as a vehicle for telling tales

This isn't a dig at Saints but;

If Lima is found innocent then imo Wilkin should be punished heavily!

No place in our game for moaning about fellow players on the pitch. If you have a problem then you should sort it out there and then with some biff not by crying to the ref.

What’s next if we go down this road? Are we going to see Wilkin holding up imaginary cards like they do in football trying to influence the ref to send players off?

If Lima is found guilty of a chicken wing then he needs to be banned but the way Wilkin has gone about it is wrong. He knew the ref hadn’t seen it and that it would go on report so why not mention it quietly after the game?

Wilkin wouldn't make the allegation if he didn't feel he did it. Lima got away with a very serious chicken wing early in the game as well.

Wilkin was like a school boy telling his teacher tales!

It's just not done in rugby league!

He made a fool of himself.

I think if Wilkin had his time again he wouldn't complain about it, from what I saw of it he couldn't see what Lima was doing anyway. There's a bit of pressure on his arm but it's never a chicken wing in a million years, there was one earlier in the game from Lima though.

If the ref didn't see it then it needs to be cited after the game and Lima should get banned as it’s a cheap tactic.

BUT i’ll say it again that we don’t want to go down the route with players trying to get others sent off. We will start to see players flashing imaginary cards around and it’s the start of all that BS we see every week in football.

That goes for incidents for every club including Wigan as we just don’t want to see it.

Totally agree, it's no shock that wilkin could kick start this sort off thing.

But, he isn't the one who as started it! As I said on another post we have seen numerous players, in the past go to the ref and accuse someone of biting them and the game stopped to put it on report! So, it's nothing new.

Like we both agreed on the other post, biting is a little different.

Wilkin should have spoke to the ref after the game. He didn't do that and made himself look like a silly little school boy or football player.

We don't want this sort of thing like in football!

If the touch judges and refs kept their eyes open then players wouldn't have to report things to them! Yes it's a mans game but that doesn't mean it should be a dirty game.
