Wigan prop Jeff Lima will miss the World Club Challenge later this month after being handed a two-match suspension.

The New Zealand international, who joined the Super League champions from Melbourne Storm in the close season, was found guilty of separate "chicken-wing" tackles on his debut in the Warriors' 16-16 draw with St Helens in the opening match of the season in Cardiff on Saturday.

One incident, in which undue pressure is placed on the arms of the ball-carrier, was brought to the attention of referee Richard Silverwood by St Helens forward Jon Wilkin during the game while the RFL's match review panel also charged Lima with a similar offence on Sia Soliola.

Ridiculous if he got 1 game for Wilkin tackle.

He goes under the name andywiz and tweeted this about 40 mins ago

I hope he flattens the whining flower on Good Friday.

The RFL website is so useless they haven't even got the original charges up yet.

Would it even be worth an appeal now?

The RFL bafffle me sometimes

The corruption in our game is immense. No Leeds player would get that!!

Ah, thanks.


They haven't got anything up. The disciplinary page is totally out of date. That's where I looked at first to check when I saw this thread.

Why should he get special treatment just because we are playing a WCC?

Who said he should?

Wigan's official site have confirmed it. The RFL couldn't run a bath, never mind a website

I'm in two minds, when I saw the soliola one I thought he'd get a ban. But if he got two games because of the wilkin tackle too then it's a joke imo, i don't think there was anything wrong with that. I remember at least one other player being penalised for a chicken wing, possibly in the hudds wire game, yet I've not heard anything about any other charges for a chicken wing?

If he got the two games for the challenge on soliola then it's probably a fair ruling, he knew what he was doing and should have known better. But we NEED consistency or the rfl end up looking like a joke.

hes been had for the john wilkin one, the rfl are about ase usefull as a chocolate tea pot!

I fully expect him to win his appeal..Afterall everyone else did last season.

remember the morley and Carvell incidence last year.

Harsh, very harsh IMO. A one game ban then fair enough but two! Hopefully by appealing we can gave it reduced to one. I hope Fielden's ready for Bradford.

probably because neither of Limas alleged chicken wings were actually penalised ......at least the 2nd deffo wasnt, and nobody saw anything until soft lad wilkin made an official complaint to the ref.

sends a message to players.......if you think youve been grappled or winged and the ref doesnt penalise..........complain, and they might get a ban.

dangerous precedent......imo.......will lead to puffball style whinging

What a complete joke. The RFL yet again demonstrate precisely why they are a laughing stock.

And well done Wilkin, your girly bitch tactics seem to have worked. I hope you're pleased, you're truly the epitome of a Rugby League player, you know, the tough lads who can take it and give it rather than crying to the officials every time they don't get their own way. Even half the Saints fans can't stand you.

Best thing Lima can do? Smash the living cr@p out of that lame excuse of a man on Good Friday.
