Even more than the 'from a violent background but now role-model-tastic, international philanthropist and tireless community campaigner' Rangi Chase?

Shurely shome mishtake?

3 games!!

Disgusting outcome but not entirely surprising, the RFL are a joke, no other sporting governing body could possibly get it so wrong so many times

Chase shud be banned for the same amount of time it takes tangi to recover and on half pay the other half paid to tangi by way of compensation that was a tackle designed to take tangi out chase is an absolute disgrace as player and as man i never rated him. I think danny orr is a better player

Let's not get hysterical, although saying that one CT fan on the other CT forum made a comparison of injustice between Rangi & Nelson Mandela.

I wouldn't worry too much , all that running sideways n fancy footwork n now yer see the ball now yer don't is very predictable,plus 3 week on the lash at xscape will work in your favour.

Be gentle with him.

Getting a bit big for your boots you fev fans!!!



TBF to chase, he wasn't last seasons MoS for nothing, he's a bloody good player, who thankfully didn't play well against you. I agree he does too much fancy lateral, skipping nonsense, but he is/was capable of beating SL teams almost on his own last year.

Good luck in the next round, same again please!!!

He wasn't allowed to play well that's the difference


Oh and we have always been too big for our boots.

We won't beat Wigan but we wont roll over either,will be great to see Wigan at por
Again.

I'm sure you'll give it a go, and enjoy the day!!!!

Chase is a great player but has a very nasty streak to which he has no reputation on.

Against us in the dying minutes despite them clearly winning easily he had a right go at Fox in a disproportionate way. Looked like it hurt Fox.

No need for stuff like that.

Can anyone remember what happened to Robbie Mears? I think he tried to sue a player after getting his head knocked off.

According to wikipedia - Mears was awarded damages after a law suit against Sonny Nickle.

According to Wiki he sued Sonny Nickle and was awarded damages
Nickle got 9 games though.

The difference with Chase incident is that it was a snap judgement. I've no doubt he intended it but it wasn't as obvious as Les Boyd or Adrian Morley where they charged down field and smashed into someone.
Because Chase was in the corner with a short run up it was harder to judge the severity but for me, he intended it, and he did not miss so should be severely dealt with.
3 matches is not appropriate in my opinion but as the judiciary have guidelines to follow I can see why he got it.

Just looking at the disciplinary guidelines I think the ruling was too light.

Grade C-E Strikes with elbow – tackling – reckless
Grade D-F Strikes with elbow – tackling – intentional

Grade - Normal suspension range
C - 2-3
D - 3-5
E - 4-8
F - 8+

So they ruled for a 3 match suspension that either it was the lowest grade of reckless tackle but the highest suspension in that range or that it was intentional but the lowest possible suspension.

Either way, I'd have given more.
The rules do allow for a clean record to be taken into considerationbut equally they say an injury to a player because of the incident should also be taken into consideration.

I think it was adjudged to have been the forearm and not the elbow that hit Ropati (although it looked like the elbow followed through...) and so was grade C.

And they obviously didn't take the severity of the injury or Chase's stance after the incident (suggesting intent IMO) into account.

Let's hope someone repays him in a reckless way of course that way peter gentles best mate can be made to look even more stupid than he already does! If that's possible.

Link?

What's a grade A-B offence?

Thanks for that Snowie, I always assumed Grade A was the worst!

Fev did a good job on rag chase thats why he spit the dummy out and did what he did. I.M.O

Yes, I read that the other night and it explains several reasons as to why the punishment was as it was. S

Where does it explain the evidence that can be submitted? I must have missed that bit. As far as I know, the only evidence that can be submitted in support is video footage from the club (otherwise, players could rightfully claim they were being discriminated against by more detailed coverage in televised games). The video footage from the club is unlikely to reveal what has clearly been shown to be the case in other footage, namely a case of deliberate foul play. The result is the RFL is made to look stupid (again) and the defendent gets off lightly.

Chase is a lucky man. His victim is much less fortunate. Chase doesn't deserve the support he's received from certain quarters over this. People should save it for someone more worthy.

Where did I say evidence can be submitted?
