from the look of the report on sporting life it looks as though both are for grade c ' dangerous tackles' . Is a chicken wing not grade b ' putting undue pressure on the shoulder' ?

That Wilkin one was nothing, don't recall the Soliola one. Don't mind if he misses the Bradford game but we really need him for the WCC!

I wouldn't be surprised if he misses Sunday.

As someone else said, given the RFL's tendencies for daft decisions leading up to big games, I'd expect him to play in the WCC.

It was a bad one, very early in the game. Was surprised it wasn't picked up at the time.

Eek, it won't help him that nothing happened at the time.

Bradford away is going to be a tough game. We need all hands on deck. We'll definitely miss him if he's banned.

The Soliola one was worse, but these things are always 50/50 i'd hazard a guess at a warning letter, esp. as he's new to the league

Just watched it (13 mins) and didn't think it was particularly bad. He uses the arm to lever the body a little bit and then releases, nothing malicious in it at all. Soliola doesn't even react.

Wilkin is a pathetic little girl. Lima has hold of his arm but there's nothing in it.

In the last two Saints games I've watched Wilkin he's embarrassed himself. Stroppy little mard. Thinks way too much of himself.

Why though?

There vere numerous penalties over the weekend with "Chicken Wing" calls made by the referee and penalties given, how come none of them are up before the Beak?

Seeing as both incidents have been looked at the powers that be must have felt the need for a referal even though we all know he will be cleared to play in the WCC. If the boot had been on the other foot you lot would have been calling for Wilkin's head on a platter.

True, but that's what being a fan is all about

Soliola was just being Soliola, and Wilkin was being Wilkin.

Soliola would have had more than a right to complain about that tackle, it could easily have dislocated his shoulder. I think Wilkin was just throwing his toys out of the pram because the game wasn't going his way at the time.
