The one on Wilkin was worse for me because he was already tackled with two other goons on him.His only intention was to work the joint.
The one on Soliola was similar to the one that effectively finished Cayless's career.

Just watched them again, The Soliola one looks worse to me and I've changed to a 1 game ban!!
Strange how Wilkin is coming out of this as the bad guy though, When done to full effect you can finish someones career like this and he has every right to point this out to the ref, Chicken Wings are worse than biting and spitting and they are both commonly reported by players

Lima pleaded [url=http://www.superleaguefans.com/rugby-league/2011/02/15/magic-weekend-disciplinary-action.htmlguilty[/url to the offences.

All except Steve Snitch?

So you would rather people got away with dirty play then?

Just shoot the messenger, why don't you, instead of condemning the guilty one.

Ah. I didn't see Steve Snitch mentioned in the Sky report. Oh well. He got a one match ban, which is almost two matches.

Good start for clean Wigan - one game played, one 2 match ban earned.

Dirty Saints still without a single ban since the start of the 2010 season.

Then again, is anyone surprised that Ex-Melbourne coach + Ex-Melbourne players = sh*thouse tactics in the tackle? It's hardly ground breaking is it.

Let's just hope it does put an end to this type of tackle, from all players!

Spot on.

Oh God! he's cutting and pasteing as we speak.

I'm sure whoever you're talking about is cutting and pasting, as they have a modicum of intelligence.

Ooh, you've got him there.

Interesting comment picked up on the Goons board:

He is surprised at the speed of the rucks? Playing for Wigan??

Salary cap cheating Melbourne guy goes to salary cap cheating Wigoon. A match made in hell. We must defeat the evil empire, any one of us. Come on [iThe S[/i and come on everybody else except Wigoon.

They are the disease, we are the cure.

Nah,I was talking about you.

Like a Fish in a barrel.

Admittedly a very large fish in a very small barrel.

Interesting that they say he's been brought up on the 2 referee system and that was a factor that led to his poor technique. I thought they'd only had two refs for the last couple of seasons?

How did he cope for the other 5 or 6 years he's played first grade?

I thought that! "he's been brought up on that" just no he hasnt!

I know. It was a pathetic defence.

wasn't the two ref system brought in to stop melbourne's housing in the ruck?

Therefore what he's saying is, i've been playing with two refs watching me, now i'm back to one i thought i could get away with it?

Maybe he needs a ref in his ear saying 'Let go of his arm Jeff' at every tackle otherwise he forgets?
