The powers that be simply love us

They just love us sooooo much!! When it was played back there was nothing wrong at all with that tackle.

Anyone know whether a ban would rule him (or anyone pinged against Bradford next weekend) out of the WCC?

He'll probably just get a warning, or at worst he'll get a one game ban, although I think any ban is unlikely. The RFL wouldn't ban him for longer with WCC in two weeks time.

Yep - the WCC would count towards any ban.

lets hope he does not get a ban as I dont think Fielden is due back next week and Prescott was nothing short of useless, for every yard he made he gave away 20 in penalties.

Nowt wrong with the tackle on Tell-Tale Wilkin.

What was the Soliola one like?

I've only watched the game once so far and that was live on SKY. Now I didn't notice anything untoward in the Wilkin tackle, but if my memory serves me right I did notice Lima using Sia's arm as leverage to control him on the floor. I wouldn't have said it was a full blown chicken wing tackle or anything remotely near that, but he did apply pressure to the arm to control Soliola.

Only deserving of warning IMO.

I think he might get a game for the one on soliola, that was my first thought when I saw it and I don't think he could complain to be fair.

As for the wilkin one, I think the rfl should have a word with him for disrupting the game (and being a whiney little sod).

With it being his first game over here they will probably just warn him and tell him we wont put up with any more of that imo.

The Wilkin one? Seriously? Are players not allowed to tackle anymore?

F*CK THE RFL!!!

from the look of the report on sporting life it looks as though both are for grade c ' dangerous tackles' . Is a chicken wing not grade b ' putting undue pressure on the shoulder' ?

That Wilkin one was nothing, don't recall the Soliola one. Don't mind if he misses the Bradford game but we really need him for the WCC!

I wouldn't be surprised if he misses Sunday.

As someone else said, given the RFL's tendencies for daft decisions leading up to big games, I'd expect him to play in the WCC.

It was a bad one, very early in the game. Was surprised it wasn't picked up at the time.

Eek, it won't help him that nothing happened at the time.

Bradford away is going to be a tough game. We need all hands on deck. We'll definitely miss him if he's banned.

The Soliola one was worse, but these things are always 50/50 i'd hazard a guess at a warning letter, esp. as he's new to the league

Just watched it (13 mins) and didn't think it was particularly bad. He uses the arm to lever the body a little bit and then releases, nothing malicious in it at all. Soliola doesn't even react.

Wilkin is a pathetic little girl. Lima has hold of his arm but there's nothing in it.

In the last two Saints games I've watched Wilkin he's embarrassed himself. Stroppy little mard. Thinks way too much of himself.

Why though?

There vere numerous penalties over the weekend with "Chicken Wing" calls made by the referee and penalties given, how come none of them are up before the Beak?

Seeing as both incidents have been looked at the powers that be must have felt the need for a referal even though we all know he will be cleared to play in the WCC. If the boot had been on the other foot you lot would have been calling for Wilkin's head on a platter.

True, but that's what being a fan is all about

Soliola was just being Soliola, and Wilkin was being Wilkin.

Soliola would have had more than a right to complain about that tackle, it could easily have dislocated his shoulder. I think Wilkin was just throwing his toys out of the pram because the game wasn't going his way at the time.

if i was lima i would flatten the cry baby next time, funny nothing has been said about james graham sqeezing sams balls, i seem to remember pryce getting banned for the same thing.
