I didn't notice him doing it but saw the ref signal a Chicken Wing tackle straight away and another ban would seem probable.

I still hold the same view now as I did at the time and thats if Lima has been stupid enough to do it again he deserves another ban(and probably longer then the last one) and he'd have to work very hard to get back in the side once he's available . If he has done it again the guy must be a moron and somebody needs to have a word in his ear.

It looked pretty blatant from where we were, and that's the exact sentiments we uttered when he did it.

If found guilty, he'll be missing the next 2 or 3 I think.

If Fielden is back anytime soon(I have read rumours he's out for a good while though) and Lima does pick up a ban i'd struggle to find a spot in the side for him when he's back. I'm not saying he's not a good player but the side can't afford for him to keep picking up bans for the same thing and he can't afford to keep picking up bans because our props are playing very well.

Until he learns his lesson we can afford to not play him because we have plenty of quality options especially if Fielden doesn't require another op.

A spell in the u20's should sort it.

And a 'chat' with Wane...

I was speaking with Lima before the WCC and got talking about his ban. He didn't even know what a chicken wing tackle was!

Coming from the Storm, yeah I'm sure he has no idea. It's not like it was ever spoken about there.

I know, worrying right?!

On redvee.net there is a thread "Chicken wing" started on 12th february, go to page 6 item 110 and watch the Melbourne Storm in action. Maybe someone far more intelligent than me can put this vid onto this site please.

Didn't he get penalised at the time, therefore, punishment has been given for the incident?

He did but that surely doesn't rule out further action?

He's obviously not been pinned in this case which seems strange unless they've looked at the incident and decided the ref got it wrong.

Either way Lima needs to watch what he's doing. He's going to be under the microscope after Cardiff and he'll need to be squeeky clean in that area.

Generally speaking if the ref saw the incident at the time and didn't think it worthy of even a sin bin the RFL are unlikely to then go on to hand out a ban. The difference between this and Cardiff is that the ref didn't view and deal with the Cardiff incident at the time.

Didn't see it myself, I'm just thankful he's not up before the beak.
