Just seen some stuff on SadBook about people thinking Rangi can use one of his bans on the week off the CC in the 20's, my interpretation is he can't because he isn't age elligible.

So the week off doesn't help.

I actually think that rule needs looking at and clearing up, becuase if a 19yr old player committed the offense, then could take one of his bans in the 20's, but based purely on age seemingly you can't???

Anyway, back to work.

he can't count an under 20s game. as an overage player, he could only count it if the offence occured while he was playing for the under 20s

Yeah, agree - point taken.

But seemingly if he was 19, he could count the 20's game regardless of where it occrued??? Becuase he is age elligible.

I think Cas and Mr Chase should count themselves very lucky indeed.

If you read the verdict, the tribunal considered moving outside the tariff for the charge, such was the severity of the incident.

Makes you wonder whether the charge should have been further up the scale.

Anyway, back to business. I think the lack of Rangi Chase will be good for you. You looked very one dimensional and predictable on Saturday and seemed to rely on him far too much. When we were successful in closing him down, you had no plan b.

This hiatus gives your players a chance to show what they can do.

We had a plan b but the players didn't think to use it and played like a bunch of headless chickens.

If you saw us regularly you would understand the absurdity of that viewpoint.

Re 'that challenge' have Fev fans been saving up their righteous indignation in the event that one day something might happen in a derby which might yield a bit of the moral highground lost after the Slatter/Johnson incident referred to in the "worst tackle" thread.

BTW I personally feel the 3 game ban is lenient even though it seems the offence was deemed to have been committed recklessly rather than with an intent to cause the injury it did. IMO spear tackles, whatever the outcome, are worse because someone lifting the opponent above the horizontal from between the legs must surely know the potential damage could be far greater than say a broken jaw.

I watch you every time you're on Sky, I do think you over rely on Chase, I also think you're very weak on the right hand side, but hey, if we all thought the same, that'd be pretty boring wouldn't it.

I think most Fev fans are too young to remember the Slatter/Johnson incident. FWIW, it was far worse than the "Chase Elbow". Be under no doubt, I find foul play of any kind, by anybody abhorrent.

I assume you are referring to the almost spear tackle by Briggs. Live, I thought it was bad and that Briggs was lucky to get off with just a penalty. Having watched it back on Sky+ though, you can clearly see that upon realising that your man had gone beyond the horizontal, they put him back down safely and no harm was done.

I'm not sure that's going to be possible. I might be wrong but I think chase got a 3 match ban. Wake up numb nuts.

My bad.

Will you be enjoying watching Fev play Wigan now your bunch of losers have been dumped out of the Cup ?

Blimey, I thought your earlier post made you look a fool and this just confirms it. You haven't got a clue have you but having said that what would we expect from a Whino.
Most Cas fans haven't got a problem with Fev, they won the game fair and square and we will wish them the best of luck against the cheating pies.

Didn't make myself clear....the absurdity was the view that lacking Chase would be good for Cas. We dont just over-rely on Chase. Such is the dearth of attacking skill in our squad that we are totally dependant upon him to the extent that many (myself included) doubt our ability to score enough points to win any SL game without him.

As regards the Briggs incident I didn't actually classify it as a spear tackle because there was no downward force and to be honest the way our guy was lifted suggested to me that there was never an intention to apply any. So just a case of lifting beyond the horizontal and penalty sufficient.

BTW nice of you to take time out from slagging off Cas fans on the Wigan board to enlighten us.
