Nah. To be honest, i liked the "get our boy out and walk away" aproach that we've picked up over the last couple of weeks. I think it will work in our favour to keep our cool and not get sucked into this lot. I actually see Hoff & Lima in getting this crap out of the way alot so far... and long may it continue!

Yeah man I agree it was more tongue in cheek than anything else. Saw Finch marching Sam (I think) away when he was whinging at the ref right in front of me too I think its pretty obvious they were well drilled discipline wise at Melbourne despite Lima's moments of madness.

How Robert Hicks could pass judgement on this tackle when he was on the other side of the pitch is beyond me!
He came across when the fisticuffs started, yet when I watched the game when I got back, it was him who told Silverwood that it was below the knee!!

OMFG !!!!!!!!! What are we even discusing here!!!!! It beggers believe :eusa17: Its a god dam FULL CONTACT sport!!!!! What is the first thing we teach kids???? Tackle round the LEGS!!!! So it finally sinks in, then they go and watch there favorite team on tv, and see 1 of there team sent off for tackling round the knee!!!!!!!! I for one love the game because it is FULL CONTACT. If you dont want too risk your leg being snapped, find the f*!@in floor!!!!! Simples. The tackle is complete when the ball playing arm hits the deck for me. None of this, the referee shouting "Held"" crap!!! Its a mans game, people get hurt!!

Lima, it seems cannot win.
People were all over him for not being an "Enforcer" and now he's being pilloried becasue he's a "thug".
Last night's sin binning was a disgrace.
Lima was third man in on a player that was still moving.
If Leeds want to play soccer, they can go to Elland road.

He was the third man in, he aimed low but with his shoulder, not his arms. I reckon if a Leeds player had done that to any of ours we'd have been baying for blood. It was at best reckless, at worst intending to cause injury.

Yes it is a contact sport, people get hurt and it's a hard enough game without a defenceless player held up getting an extra dig.

Surely all players are aware of the rules of where they can and cannot hit in a tackle, and putting undue pressure into the legs like Lima did is not allowed, he must know this.
People go on about "tit for tat" hits re-Cross etc, but should we be concerned about what other teams players do, or get disciplined for or should we be more worried about what our players are doing.
Lima doing what he done is a liability to Wigan Warriors RLFC, and this must stop.

Absolutely nothing his first impct was with the top of the leg and he slid down. The Leeds players made a mountain out of a mole hill and bought the sin bin.
