Lima (Cautioned free to play)

[gpartin]

carries on like this he'll av his own spot at red hall.
He needs to keep his discapline,he has realise we play slightly different over here.

Feka did Exactly the same in every game he played in and nobody ever questioned his discipline.

Wigan / Melbourne / Madge reinvented tackling technique with IMO no intent whatsoever other than making the most effective tackle in terms of dominating the ball carrier / slowing the next POTB down.

Modern defence is all about locking the ball up first as you stop the ball carrier, the second man goes in and that leaves room for the 3rd man to go into the legs. It is only a reverse of old fashioned tackling technique. NOBODY has shown any evidence of a player being hurt by this legs last technique. In their own mind they have invented it and decided it is to be outlawed, the RFL / Cummings never have the guts to say so publically.

Wigan do what they have been coached to do. Cummings is coaching his referees that it is wrong. How else can you explain a lower rank referee penalising Logan Tomkins at Orrell for doing the exact same low tackle.

Players are looking at officials and scratching their heads asking why, don't be stupid etc but it is clear the RFL / Cummings have issued another stupid edict. Questions have to be raised re Sharpe because he must have encouraged this decision / backed it.

Which is more important stopping players going low or attacking the head. Interestingly how often do you see match officials / judiciary panels making excuses for high tackle, bounced/started at the chest etc but when a player goes low they are fluxomed YET even if it goes wrong there is no intent, no proof it harmed the player.

So we have Lima now treated like he is a sex offender in a family street and if he so much as smiles the wrong way the RFL/players are taking advantage and have become vigilantes. Lima is in an incredibly difficult position. Well done Cummings / RFL.

lima did nothing wrong this time hes just being singled out now atleast hes been cleared this time as has o'donnel i hope bailey gets 2 matches talentless thug

Bailey should get sine die for another cowardly act of pure thuggery. Not content with punching Brown while he was down, he started hitting him whilst he was held by another player!

[Woodentop07]

What you will find now is that everytime Lima is third man in a tackle (round the legs), opposition players will come running in to draw attention to it!
The situation will become farcical!!

The most frustrating thing is the lack of consistency from the RFL. Keith Senior, running and punching (not the for the first time either!) no case to answer. Sam Tomkins, same charge.......one game ban!!!

The NRL coaches are bringing techniques/tactics that will make our game better and make the national team stronger yet the RFL seem determined for us to go backwards!!

Kitti you seem to forget Bailey plays for Leeds,so nothing will happen to him.

He will need Lee Bailey and Johnny Cochran to get him off this one. Or even Bob Massingberd!

Incidentally I thought Lima had a decent game v KR (Feka had a decent one too for Salford) and I think if temperatures remain at current levels such a fit mobile prop is going to come into his own.

I was talking to some Leeds fans I know yesterday and they said they weren't going to go to another game this year as the team just want to fight all the time instead of play rugby. As to Bailey they want rid he's just a thug in a shirt there words not mine!
