If Fielden is back anytime soon(I have read rumours he's out for a good while though) and Lima does pick up a ban i'd struggle to find a spot in the side for him when he's back. I'm not saying he's not a good player but the side can't afford for him to keep picking up bans for the same thing and he can't afford to keep picking up bans because our props are playing very well.

Until he learns his lesson we can afford to not play him because we have plenty of quality options especially if Fielden doesn't require another op.

A spell in the u20's should sort it.

And a 'chat' with Wane...

I was speaking with Lima before the WCC and got talking about his ban. He didn't even know what a chicken wing tackle was!

Coming from the Storm, yeah I'm sure he has no idea. It's not like it was ever spoken about there.

I know, worrying right?!

On redvee.net there is a thread "Chicken wing" started on 12th february, go to page 6 item 110 and watch the Melbourne Storm in action. Maybe someone far more intelligent than me can put this vid onto this site please.

Didn't he get penalised at the time, therefore, punishment has been given for the incident?

He did but that surely doesn't rule out further action?

He's obviously not been pinned in this case which seems strange unless they've looked at the incident and decided the ref got it wrong.

Either way Lima needs to watch what he's doing. He's going to be under the microscope after Cardiff and he'll need to be squeeky clean in that area.

Generally speaking if the ref saw the incident at the time and didn't think it worthy of even a sin bin the RFL are unlikely to then go on to hand out a ban. The difference between this and Cardiff is that the ref didn't view and deal with the Cardiff incident at the time.

Didn't see it myself, I'm just thankful he's not up before the beak.

As I said there was one from Westwood on Saturday that was picked up but has not been brought before the disciplinary.

Stuart Howarth has been cautioned for putting undue pressure on Bradford Bulls forward Brynn Hargreaves.

This is what I don't understand were seeing players placing undue pressure on joints week after week, yet so far Lima has been the only one to be banned for it. It lack of consistency from RFL, or were they taking Lima's past history in the NRL into account when looking at his case? I'm going to go with discrimination against Wigan, I like to think everyone's against us.

Lima in the clear then.

I wonder if Ben Cross (Leeds) will get off

He shouldnt, it was very very late.

He'll get banned, they'll appeal, it'll be overturned.

We all know how it works with Leeds!

Let's keep our eye on that one.

I'm keeping an eye, my teeth, a lung and 2 toes on it

It was a shocker and I cant believe the ref, or linesman, didnt see it and take action at the time.

Leeds player banned - can they appeal?

[urlhttp://www.therhinos.co.uk/news/16160.php[/url

Leeds will appeal and the RFL will pay them £500 for troubling them.

Commenting on the hearing, McDermott, "We would like to thank the panel for a fair hearing and, whilst we are disappointed to lose Ben for this Friday's game, we accept their decision."

Doesn't sound like they will be appealing it. I know others will have their opinions, but I think that "challenge" was worse than what Lima did. A late high shot could do far more damage than undue pressure on a joint. Should they get the same punishment?(I'm going by the fact Lima got a game each for two challenges).
