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.

if i was lima i would flatten the cry baby next time, funny nothing has been said about james graham sqeezing sams balls, i seem to remember pryce getting banned for the same thing.

It is true Melbourne had some problems with player's chicken winging, however I think there's a bigger problem to address here.

IMO Wilkin broke an unwrtitten code, making an 'official complaint'. However it's the can of worms this could open as a result. As if there wasn't enough confusion within the current disciplinary system, with the misuse of 'reporting', and the introduction of 'citing' - it now seems the players have power to put competitors up infront of the beak.

It'd be useful to ask Wilkin what on earth he was thinking at the time. But I gather he's out today, helping his mam choose some new nets for the lounge. The mardy boy.

because if the player is carded and/or penalised they're more likely to deem that no further action is neccessary as he would have already been punished. He might get a match now where if the ref had dealt with it at the time he would be alright to play v Bradford.

Even the great hemmings states the game was clean in commentary.

Just watched Lima tackle and I think a warning is probably justified but a ban would be harsh

I also see the tackles over the horizontal where not picked up which I found far more dangerous during the match

He'll get the full 6 as quite simply, as Saturdays ref performance showed, the RFL can't bear to see a successfull Wigan side.
