No he didnt! He only blows his whistle once the leeds players run in! He then obviously gets a word in his ear and then pretends to get ocnfirmation off his linesman who also hadnt flagged for the incident and only came on the pitch due to the players running in!!

If Carmonts was accidental how will he be "getting away with it!!"
But it was prob as accidental as a Senior boot in the head!!

I would have loved Cross to have got hold of Sam! Would have been good to see him pick on a full back!

You couldn't make this stuff up!!

Are there no opticians in Leeds??

What about the dirty tactics of Bailey??

Only Jeff Lima knows what his intent was. In my opinion (and its only an opinion !) he went in with the shoulder to cause injury. If he was trying to stop a leg drive, why didn't he use his arms to wrap up the legs ?

Its ironic the pies are bleating about opponents unfairly targetting little Sam (forgetting of course that Sean Long and Rob Burrow have had many years of this attention) whilst condoning Lima's attempt to injure a young Leeds player.

If this is a legitimate tackling technique, I assume there will no whining from the clog wearing pie munchers when they have players sidelined for 9 months needing knee reconstructions.

Its a shame Nathan Brown didn't follow through with his threat to send Keith Mason after opposition play makers

One can only assume that, had he fallen the right way, Lima would have succeeded in his aim of hospitalising him.

Grade B charge from the RFL.

In the warm up your players were working on two defenders holding the ball carrier with a third player attacking the legs.

In the game Clarkson was held by two defenders, Lima attacked the leg, below the knee with his shoulder.

It's cheap and there's no need for it in the game. The player's reaction tells you all you need to know. Kylie (who is one of the most placid hard men in the game) went straight after Lima the next time he looked likely to get the ball (he was used as a dummy).

I'm with Nathan Brown. You may not get penalised by the RFL, you may. It may be borderline legal, it may not. But the players themselves will deal with it. You have some big hard players and some skillful backs. I don't mind niggle, I don't mind intimidation but I've no time for what Maguire coaches his teams to do. I hope the rest of the league takes Nathan Brown's advice to heart when they play you. It looked to me like we did on Friday as we were all in on a couple of occasions.

So your telling me Silverwood had blown for the penalty before Leeds ran in??



But Clarkson wasnt held!! He was still moving forward!

It's still cheap and I hope every team reacts to it the way our lads did.

Sinfield definately won the Jon Wilkin award! He better be careful with his broom handles in next couple of weeks

Lima charged

hes clearly an opportunist cheap shot merchant

No action taken against Carmont at all.
I wonder how Hauraki's nose is, must be ok since it clearly wasn't hit by Carmont.
Play-acting faker!!

Same as Joels head!

Mass paranoid dummy spit on the Wigooners Board over this.



Its all a conspiracy by the RFL! Apparently.

Feck knows what they are putting in the pies these days.

Deary me.

It's fantastic! Are they all on skunk or summat?

They're seriously paranoid aren't they - they make redvee look sane!

True. If you put your average Pie alongside a Cas supporter, it would be the Cas guy who sounded sophisticated and intelligent! Honest!



No week should be ended without a visit to their Board. It's fantastic the e some of them seriously believe, and you get a fair bit of leeway from the mods as well when you offer some constructive criticism

.....although I wonder how long that'll last.

I see John Kear has called for a minimum 6 match ban for Lima. Kear was unhappy at Wigan's ehouse tactics following a game against them last year.

Wigan are getting a league wide reputation as a bunch of cheap, dirty cowards and their players will soon enough reap what their coach has sewn as RL is a hard but honest game and the players will sort this out if the RFL don't.

I have stated on many occassions. Wigan doing well (in terms of winning trophies and titles) constitutes a big step backwards for the game.

They remain the side I like least in the league by a long way.

Agree with your post.

Can Lima get a 6 match ban under the grade of offence he's been charged with?

Add to Kear, Nathane Brown and Mick Potter you have knowledgable coaches that are making strong accusations about Wigan's tactics. You'd have thought that the RFL would have investigated these allegations. Prefer the RFL to sort it out than the players.

Interesting the Pies reaction when FC played them at their own game.

FC didn't play us at our own game at all.
