Lima can't be blamed for his actions, it was Jon Wilkin's fault.

Not a Warrington Troll, just enlightening you... Carvel, hit him on the chest, not head, slightly late but was commited to the tackle and was impossible to pull out of the tackle!

Morley was positioned to tackle an upright player... they player droped his height at the last min. The contact point was Morelys shoulder, not any where near his forearm!

Hope this explains.. need any more help let me know.

Correct - 10 mins in was perfect example

Right heres one point that needs to be made.

The player he tackled supposedly had a bandaged knee. Therefore this knee was obviously already weak.

If lima's tackle was so dangerous and presenting such a risk of injury (as they said about Clarkson a player with a completely uninjured knee) then why didnt' he injure the player? Probably because this new rule is a cop out to stop us tackling with 3 players in the way that we were so successful last year and its not actually as dangerous as they make out and no more dangerous than most tackles you see week in week out.

His original one wasnt bad either against Saints as proven by the fact that the player he did it to got up to play the ball and would have until Wilkin went and moaned. Its a pathetic witchhunt with no real basis in reality.

I haven't played RL since copping a "tackle" identical to Lima's on Clarkson the other week. It's completely unnecessary, even more so when it's after the hooter (slthough I haven't seen the one from the weekend so I've no idea if it was bad or not).

If you want to complete the tackle - fine. But don't do it by running in and shoulder charging around the knee area of a player who is held up by other tacklers and can't see you. Grab the leg instead, it's very easy and nobody gets injured.

Looks like it's just Bailey and Brown in the bad lads parking spaces tomorrow.

Caution.

Might as well save his petrol money.

Well if that true how on earth did Keef Senior get away with running in and punching?

The only reason O'Donnell isn't there is because he didn't get a punch off. You can see the fight on the SL website and it's ages before he appears. He must have run 30 yards to get involved but still didn't hit anyone.

<Conspiracy theory>He wasn't wearing a Wigan shirt.</Conspiracy theory>

You mean for the same thing Sam got a one match ban for?

That's the one, push the team names and the year into a well know video sharing site and it will show the SLTV highlights (with no buffering) Skip to 2min 15.

Just watched it then. What Senior did was exactly the same as Sam, but Sam didnt throw any punches when he ran over. I think the reason Senior isnt up against the disciplinary is because the referee lost complete control and it was 13v13 so it's difficult to pick out just a few people. Whereas with Sam, he was the only one to run over to stop Joel and Yeaman.

Rubbish I know, as its the same situation. It does make you think if the RFL do really watch every game in detail and analyses each incident, because IMO they clearly dont.

The only reason I can think Brown is there, is because he didn't hit Bailey hard enough.
