As I've already said, it was ill-judged and a symptom of the modern era; the instantanous nature of modern communications, together with its availability to the hard of thinking, means that this kind of thing happens all the time - this forum being a pefect example.

Regardless of the outcome of the disciplinary case, his club should be spoken to and asked to reinforce their social media policy and put him on notice to his future conduct. To suggest that it was part of a premeditated stitch-up job on Hardaker's part is something of a stretch.

I have to say that the over-reaction of some of you big girls blouses is cringeworthy; I'm sure that Chase loves that you love him so much, but he'd be embarassed to read some of the tripe on here.

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

It's to be hoped he dose not read the Waky forum

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.

In his post match statement, McDermott covers the rest with carefully worded but strong suggestions about the tackle, including; "I'm not saying it is [head contact] with Rangi Chase - I'll have to look at it - but he knocked the kid out clean." 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.
