He definitely needs to change his tackling technique otherwise he will be spending the majority of the season on the sidelines. First game back from suspension and he does that!

He is certanly not the first and i doubt he will be the last player that Wigan have signed from down under and who has caused some controversey with his style of play.

Im pretty sure i remember Ian Millward commenting on Craig Smith when he played for Wigan due to his running style and i think it was a Saints player who was injured because of it.

Just hope Lima and Wigan can sort it out soon.

It basically finished John Stankevitch's career.

Si-Thi Si-Thi got some stick when he signed as well.

John Wilkin will probably be indirectly on the Disciplinary Panel, Lima needs to sort himself out before he finishes someones career.

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.

As I said there was one from Westwood on Saturday that was picked up but has not been brought before the disciplinary.

Stuart Howarth has been cautioned for putting undue pressure on Bradford Bulls forward Brynn Hargreaves.

This is what I don't understand were seeing players placing undue pressure on joints week after week, yet so far Lima has been the only one to be banned for it. It lack of consistency from RFL, or were they taking Lima's past history in the NRL into account when looking at his case? I'm going to go with discrimination against Wigan, I like to think everyone's against us.

Lima in the clear then.

I wonder if Ben Cross (Leeds) will get off

He shouldnt, it was very very late.

He'll get banned, they'll appeal, it'll be overturned.

We all know how it works with Leeds!
