Looking at the Hull game, is there any one that hast been cited ???

what does grade B carry?

however having watched it again it wasnt his standing leg and it started on the thigh.

Refer to Tribunal Law: 15.1 (i) Detail: Defending player, in effecting a tackle, forcefully makes contact with the leg of an attacking player who has been held in the tackle, in a way that involves an unacceptable risk of injury to that player Grade: B

Referee hadn't shouted held yet!!!!

he wasn't held and he was still moving forward! Lima started on the thigh and then the other two defenders made it look worse!

1 - 2 games.

Agree he wasn't held as the referee hasn't called held.
Reason why? Because Clarkson was still moving forward making ground.
An absolute stitch up if ever there was one!

Is anyone surprised, this is the RFL we are talking about..................

I don't think they mean held as tackle complete, but held by two players.

Regardless of whether he gets a ban or not for this incident Lima's tackling style needs to be looked at by the coaching team. A player that does at least one clumsy/malicious tackle (depending on your viewpoint) in almost every game he plays in is going to end up spending half of the season serving bans so is of reduced usefulness. Added to that the increased likelihood of being sin binned or sent off for the challenges impacting on the team during matches. There is also the possibility that somebody will get a bad injury from such tackles which surely noone wants to see. IMO his tackling style is a big problem with Lima and must be cleaned up.

Very odd.

Odd how all the, presumably neutral, media men reporting the Wire game described the injury to Dureau as being caused by a late hit from Carvell. They must have been mistaken.

Strange also that Ian Henderson from Catalans is deemed to have committed the same offence as Lima is charged with but gets away with a caution.

Still, I dare say the RFL know what they are doing.

Well I would not be surprised to see him given 3 matches then he misses the stains clash




well they have a big game coming up and we all know that means no bans for them regardless of how bad the incident was.

2 Games it is then

So let's get this right. He'll receive a two match ban, totally unjustifiably, and return just in time to to face Saints and biggest whiniest bitch of them all Wilkin.
