It's my tried and tested method and it works.

He did a fantastic job in getting so much success from a relatively ordinary squad, but the some of the tactics he used and all of the style of play he employed to do it will leave a very bad taste in the mouth for a very long time.

I dont need to check any site to know what he did was wrong, dirty and dangerous. It was a cheap cowardly attack on a players joint. I know your biased so I expect you to deny the obvious

It was a one on one tackle, nothing wrong with. It seems the RFL agree with me, so it's easy too see where the bias is.

The RFL wouldn't know a dangerous tackle if it hit them in the face. They just get stuck on certain types of tackles - standing leg, chicken wing, etc - and everything else doesn't count, whether it destroys a career or not.

But technically it isn't the RFL who makes the decision about disciplinary anyway.

dirty fat ba----d, deff a cheating pie eater.

just wait till the weekend, the chicken wing is the prefered Leeds tackling technique. Knees in the tackle, 2 words spring to mind - 'Ryan' and 'Bailey'. Leeds make wigan look like a bunch of angels.

But dont let facts get in the way of your vitriol..

none of the wigan squad are staring down the barrell of a prison sentence to the best of my knowledge...

having seen the tackle, i thought wait a moment i remember seeing exactly the same thing in a match not long ago. so i got out my dvd and scanned the game for the same incident. it did not take me long to find it and it was horrible, absolutely horrible. the tackled player lasted about another 5 mins before he went off and did not take any further part in the game.

just to let you all know who the player was, it was ryan hoffman and which players took great delight in attempting to seriously injure him, well none other than three cleaner than clean little angels from the saintly team of st.helens.

just goes to show that saints have some dirty barstewards who go out to seriously injure there opponents.

Erm, I think you are slightly biased as well, have to say its not like you usually.

My kids are missing your contributions Pete .... your solid

Probably payback for when he took Wheeler out of the game for three months.

Like I pointed out it was after the tackle was complete, he held on to Lomax's foot which in it's self is a penalty and you can see he twists his ankle - try watching

How about Martyn Sadler editor and chief writer in League Express? Is he biaised like the whole world against wigan?
from yesterday match comments by Sadler:

[i".....the new coach whoever it is, and we assume it to be Shaun Wayne, needs to look carefully at some of wigan;s tackling techniques. Jeff Lima is particular seems to be a problem, having had his share of run in's with the RFL this season, and I imagine he will do so again after dangerously twisting Lomax's leg in a tackle in the 65th minute. That made me cringe to see it and it is just not acceptable......" [/i

But the review panel looked at it, and there was no case to answer. "Player makes hold on opponent’s leg and maintains hold through the momentum of the tackle however then releases grip" www.therfl.co.uk/disciplinary/item?3270

Rogues will just ignore this because it doesn't fit in with his one eyed biased version of events.

No comment on Sadler then rougues?

Yes Sadler was wrong as the review panel clearly show. They are independent and unbiased unlike most RL fans (of all clubs)

Sadler was wrong to have faith in a review panel that clearly is not independent or unbiased! Coley's head tackle on Makinson went unpunished too but that was as clear a dangerous tackle around the head as will ever be seen. Presumably if he had decapitated Makinson he might have got a ban.

You've been a dirty lot under Maguire and I'm glad he's gone. I hope he's a total failure in the NRL.

maybe unbiased (Although I'm not 100% sure on that) but most certainly incompetent. Its clear to see for anyone with eyes that Lima is twisting his bl00dy ankle.

Dont forget Wello almost getting decapitated on his own line and then just to rub it in Bentham gave a drop out.

Wigans tactics over the last couple of years have been despicable , personally I hope he falls flat on his face at Souths

How many players have actually been injured by any of our tackling techniques/Special moves? If our players really wanted to snap other players arms legs etc like some of you claim then surely they would just do it? Its not hard when a guy is on the floor is it?

If they did it more openly you'd have more than Cokehead psycho Steptoe banned for the year. Snide dirty cheap and cowardly tactics like knee's in and 'accidental' twisting of joints is more your former coach's style

Apart from the saints players mentioned on here you mean, just from one game?



What about when coley came in late when solomona was being held up and nearly snapped his knee. Solomona was out for several weeks and Smith had some very bad things to say about about the "tackle" e.g. it is only a matter of time where it will end a player's career.
Its just plain nastiness from a team coached by a plain nasty person.

After one match with you, three players had dead legs and one had two dead legs! Knees in at the tackle. Dirty play.

From Saturday's game, Jamie Foster has had to have a scan (according to his Twitter) and I read somewhere that Wilkin might be having one (although not confirmed by him or the club). Lomax was limping at one point thanks to Lima (he started off well with a two match ban).

It's not just us either - a recent example: Catalans lost two players in the first half of their play off game against you. I'm sure Wire lost a couple of players in their league game against you?
