Quote ="Big Steve"This witch hunt against Lima should really stop now.
As for our fans who were slagging him off for the tackle at HKR where he was put on report you really need to take a look at yourselves - there was nothing wrong with the tackle - Lima was holding the player round the thighs when all the HKR players piled in - he didn't even go in aggressively.
Until the ref shouts held or the tackle is complete then a) that player can still offload, b) they are still eligible to be tackled.
Since when did tackling round the thighs become outlawed? Do we want our players to stand around and admire a player offloading out of a 2 man tackle?
I can't believe Lima gets so much attention when there was a late tackle on Tommy where he was clearly hit late, and very hard after a kick (which set up a try). those arehe sort of tackles which can end a career and put the player out of the reat of the game - but what takes up all the headlines?
It's a pathetic witch hunt and us taking focus away from the real problems in the game - the head high shots, elbows and late hits on kickers.'"
A tackle which Tommy made sure he let the player responsible know he wasnt too happy about when walking to give George a pat on the back.
