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.

Does no one see the irony that the whole Wigan board is having a baby fit ... for your perspective that Wilkin was being a baby?

No irony needed from anyone to know that, as usual, you're talking complete and utter crapola.

Good point. Perhaps you'd like to now list 'the whole Wigan board' and cross-reference each name with the post wherein they're having one of these fits.

Unless, of course, you're talking shyt (again).

So again I ask the question "Why?".

A chicken Wing that is deemed worthy of a 1 game ban is the same chicken wing if it is picked up and a penalty given on the day?

Or are we saying that an incident where any penalty (Say a Head High Tackle) is given on the day shouldn't be dealt with as severely if it's missed on the day?

Good. If Lima is guilty of a chicken wing tackle then he's a coward. If he can't beat a man by a straightforward hard hit then he shouldn't be playing until he can. Meanwhile, I hope Wilkin's willingness to face up to O'Loughlin's childish reaction opens the door to other players acting on behalf of the safety of their team mates.

Besides, there's nothing new about players reporting other players. Leon Pryce was told off for grabbing balls, if you remember. That was reported by another player. There have been other instances too.

The problem is the one that had anything in it wasnt the one that Wilkins moaning was actually about theres nothing in the one he started whining about but the fact he whined will probably now mean he gets a ban as they will think he has done 2 when in actual fact it was just 1
