Of course not. What point are you trying to make?

That Wilkin tackle was never a chicken wing tackle , You all must be blind or stupid, None of you saints fans would of said a tap if he had nt gone squealing to ref. Because you would nt of noticed because it was nt 1. I hope he appeals and gets 1 dropped .

You said Lima has admitted his guilt. Just because he hasnt appealed doesnt mean he has admitted his guilt does it?

There is also a big difference between conceding a penalty and being banned for a game!!

As long as the next player to be penalised for a chicken wing doesnt then get banned or vice versa the next player who does it without the ref noticeing gets a game ban!!
I suspect this wont happen! But hey o we are talking about the sport that can miss a player be yards offside and drop on a ball but get away with it whilst later in the same game offside be seen when no one is near offside!!

I was obviously watching a different game.

As for Wilkin - I think Lockers summed up my thoughts perfectly.

He pleaded guilty.

Perhaps his defence of not knowing how to tackle without two referees (like in the NRL) wasn't the best strategy.

Hopefully those embarrassing themselves will take the cherry and white specs off now.

Not a bad defense from Wigan that. Obviously not good enough for the RFL though. Still a very harsh punishment imo.

But it's done dusted now and we have to move on.

Lima should still be able to play in the World Club Challenge.
The precedent was set years ago which will allow this.

When we went to Brisbane in 1994 Andrew Gee was in the middle of an eight game ban from an offence in the then ARL.
The Broncos appealed the ban in that it was for League matches, the WCC wasn't a League match therefore the ban should not apply.
The appeal was won and Gee played against Wigan.

If Wigan want Lima to play in the WCC there is no reason why they couldn't appeal and it be upheld as Gee's was.
His ban would therefore cover Wigan's next match against Salford.

Oh here comes mr high and mighty again with his take your specs off BS. Leave it out it's getting old.

My judgement is based on what I saw and in no way shape or form was the Wikin incident a chicken wing tackle. The RFL can call it what ever they want but it doesn’t mean it is what they say it is.

I wouldn't be surprised if IL hadn't told him to plead guilty tbf as whilst he’s a great chairman he hardly likes to rock the boat when it comes to the RFL. Sadly this policy seems to hurt us more than it benefits us.
