Lima ruled out of World Club Challenge

Wigan prop Jeff Lima will miss the World Club Challenge match against St George Illawarra Dragons after he was suspended for two matches.

The former Melbourne forward appeared in front of the RFL Disciplinary Committee today charged with two offences of making dangerous contact with opponents during the Warriors match with St Helens at Millennium Magic.

Lima was found gulity on both counts and handed a one match ban for each offence and fined £300. He was also issued with a formal warning that a repeat offence would result in a considerable period of suspension.

As well as the showdown with St George on Sunday, February 27, Lima will also miss this weekend’s Super League match at Bradford.
