Class B offence is a 1 to 2 game ban. The RFL deemed it was not with intent so can't be upgraded to a higher catagory offence without making themselves look stupid.

We would be mad not to appeal.

No complaints I don't think, Chase went for the big hit and made contact with the head. Without his previous record, he may have escaped a ban.
My only problem is that there does seem to have been an element of 'trial by media', coaches and players in partuicular need to be prevented from discussing incidents before a verdict is reached. Not much can be done to stop journalists commenting though.
And I don't think Hardaker did himself any favours by claiming Chase had led with the elbow, to then change his mind when the RFL charge was contact made by the shoulder.
Anyway, we are without our star player for two games, but we are two points ahead of where I thought we would be!

Agree with this.

[quote="El Diablo"][quote="Gronk!"]Jamie Peacock ripping someones head off.

I believe he is refering to the incident where peacock attacked the head of daz clark with a swinging arm, which for reasons known only to rfl did not make it onto the disciplinary section of the rfl website despite the fact that peacock was penalised for it.

If anyone has an explanation for this i would love to hear it but i shall not be holding my breath.

Could you please direct me to all of your posts calling for peacock to be banned for his deliberate high tackle on clark?

If not your credibility may be in question.

Re: Rangi Charged : Tue Feb 12, 2013 8:44 pm  

I see hardaker has retracted his accusation in the face of evidence, he has done it very poorly however, he has missed a chance to apologise like a man should and comes across as a petulant child who has been caught cheating by the teacher.

Re: Rangi Charged : Tue Feb 12, 2013 8:48 pm  

Hope the club appeal this, the only reason there was any contact with the head was that hardaker fell into the tackle, chase lined up a perfectly legal shoulder charge (even bending his knees to keep it as low as he could) all shoulder charges now presumably count as reckless with this ruling?
