Apart from Lima's silly antics this season, who else over the last season and a bit has actually hurt someone? If we'd sidelined half a dozen players for 2 month I'd agree, fact is that apart from Lima's incindents, the worst we can be acused of lying on in the tackle to slow the play the ball.

Will certainly be interesting come the game at the KC. I wonder if any Hull player will be unavailable that day.

Wilson has an anti Wigan agenda, you only have to hear him on GMR or follow him on Twitter to see that. The story itself is pathetic, we have agressive defence is the upshot?

The reason why RL in the Uk will never be anything but a minority sport is people like Andy Wilson, we have a champion team, who can match it with the NRL clubs, we play to large crowds in a modern stadium, we have great facilities, youth development and push the boundaries with marketing. But that is to be shot and sniped at in an effort to influence the powers that be at Red Hall and keep reminding them that sponsors like Engage and clubs like Wakefield and people like Kear are actually big time and will make the code of League relevant.

The article is a joke if it's saying our defence is aggressive, has the writer not watched a SOO game from Australia!

I've read the article, Andy Wilson needs to get a grip. There doesn't seem to be much substance to his article either. By the looks of it he is just another bitter reporter who doesn't know what he is on about, & trying to justify his wage.

You seem to be implying that Lima's "silly antics" hurt/injured someone. This is not the case.

The challenge on Soliola (think it was him) at Millenium Magic was a bad one and could have injured him. But you are correct, I don't think anyone has actually been injured by him.

Soliola didn't do or say anything about that tackle. He just got up and played the ball.

Which is a lesson to Wilkin! But doesn't make the challenge any better!

I don't suppose we can ever prove that he has an anti-Wigan agenda, despite the evidence we often see before our eyes. But whether he does or doesn't, to write an article as negative as that, based on 'evidence' so unreliable that his newspaper wouldn't let him print it, add spice with the embittered, one-eyed drivel of a micro-intellect like John Kear, and then basically present it as a form of preview to the Wigan and Saints game (a match which was always likely to prove great entertainment) is a very strange policy for someone who supposedly cares about Rugby League.

Wouldn't it be nice if someone like Wilson occassionally used his position to say: "Today you are are going to witness a magnificent spectacle of skill, athleticism and controlled aggression - two of the best sides in the country are going to rip each other to shreds in a desperate battle for two vital league points. Tune in or miss a treat."

If the response to that point is that his editor won't let him, then he should show real loyalty to RL and go and work for someone who will.

Mr Wilson doesn't sound very anti-Wigan in the Guardian today.
