I guess it is a fear of not wanting the 2011 Man of steel to receive a ban.

Where you'll notice, just by way of contrast, that the decision to view Con Mika's unusual tackle technique, that left Kyle Amor out cold before he'd hit the ground, as accidental and worthy of no further action, has received nothing more than a passing mention; no hysterics, no calls for a hanging and certainly no suggestion that it's all part of an RFL conspiracy against the club.

There seems to be a deeply ingrained victim mentality surrounding the Castleford club - it does you no favours.

As you've asked I'll clairfy: Hardaker's "foolish" [url=http://www1.skysports.com/rugby-league/news/12196/8492726/Super-League-Zak-Hardaker-felt-Rangi-Chase-caught-him-with-an-elbowtweet[/url covers two of the points I mentioned (elbow, raised arms). In his post match statement, McDermott covers the rest with carefully worded but strong suggestions about the tackle, including; "[url=http://www1.skysports.com/rugby-league/news/12211/8491021/Leeds-have-injury-concerns-ahead-of-World-Club-ChallengeI'm not saying it is [head contact with Rangi Chase - I'll have to look at it - [ibut he knocked the kid out clean[/i[/url."

If there hadn't been any evidence to prove his allegation wrong, I have to wonder if Hardaker would have ever bothered to withdraw his disingenuous tweet or if Leeds fans would now be calling their own player foolish?

ATEOTD Leeds fans, you can come on here and try to blur the picture with your fuzzy logic but the bottom line is your player and your coach have said things they shouldn't have said, claiming clear untruths as truths. I, and I'm sure all reasonable people, find it inconceivable that they could possibly do so while being utterly unaware of the potential consequences their accusations could have for one of our star players.

Maybe you could tweet Zak Hardaker and see if he wants to meet up in a motorway service station to sort it out?

He might explain to you that we all say things in the heat of the moment when we feel wronged and it isn’t part of some pre-planned wide ranging conspiracy.

Indeed we do. Nice use of fuzzy logic....

Incidentally, how's the marathon training coming along? Have you bought your "full Cas regalia" yet?

It also got no coverage from SKY or any ware els for that mater, O,Conner and his cronies have done nothing but bang on about the tackle, with no mention about his clubs disciplinary. Widnes got a man sent off for a bad swinging arm, the super frogs got a man sent of for a late elbow all swept under the carpet.

The Rangi tackle never had a elbow near the mans head but he saw one, a man stops breathing after a tackle but it's not worth air time, but he sees something what was not their, and forgets about some Realy bad tackles.

If Poore had been put on report for the damage he did to the KR lad, your fans would be doing their nut.

Super frogs? Nice.

2 more years to go. Probably need to get a wriggle on with a fair few aspects if you were to be confident.

Well what would you call the people over their, they dont have any love for the English

French people?

I would call them French. I hardly think a xenophobic term is appropriate for a forum is it really?

Yeah, we still fall short on facilities and competing against strong opposition. Oh no wait... just facilities.



I'd get a wiggle on with that training if I were you mate. You can't just rock up to a marathon you know.

My sincerest apologies if i have offended you

"No charge"

"Player use shoulder charge however no contact made with head of opponent"

The RFL have finally made a correct decison!!

Wrong incident. Look further down disciplary charges

Super League ‏@SuperLeague
Rangi Chase guilty of Grade B illegal shoulder charge on Zak Hardaker. The Cas player suspended for 2 games and fined £300

Load of crap.

What was illegal abour it?

It was on a poor Leeds player

I wonder how much of a case we put.
Finding a person guilty when theres nothing there to be guilty for.

Travesty and a disgrace.
No wonder we are the laughing stock of sport.

People don't know why nobody wants to sponsor an RFL run competition



An independent investigation into those clowns would be interesting.

Craig Huby ‏@CH10Testimonial
What a joke!

Doesn't please me to say it, but I called this 2 or 3 games and I doubt we will appeal. I can't see what the grounds for appeal are. Precedent is not a defense sadly, it is sport not court.

There was head contact, regardless of how that came about and as such there should be a hearing.

Having had previous tackling technique questions shall we say, then there was unlikely to be a "no action".

I am a Cas Fan, from Cas, the player protection agenda is dearest to RL hearts at the moment, it has nothing to do with anti-cas or hearing prejudiced I am afraid. It was unlucky regarding the contact point, previous record is considered and it had to be dealt with on video becuase there was not action in the game. If he had been sanctioned in the game, then an extra penalty is not necesary.

Good gets what he deserves. Contact made with the head of an opponent.

=#FF4000Edited. Please dont make statements that could land this site in legal difficulty. Friendly warning

So did Con Mika & Jamie Peacock...did they get banned?



Even the RFL didn't deem it intentional, stop being a clown.

Should of got 6 matches

You lot should take your blinkers off
