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!!!
