Thought it was a shoulder charge during the game so just been back to look at it. It does look like an elbow and he could be in a lot of trouble

Not how I heard it fella. You're losing your star for a long time matey!

It was certainly high. If it is his shoulder then 2 game ban. Elbow then 4-5 game ban. Horrific head shot and how the lines man missed it is beyond me. Hopefully Ropati will be OK but didn't look good.

Linesman waved play on, that's how bad it was

You are an embarrasment to the game of RL and your club.


It was a terrible foul. Elbow straight into Ropati's face. Minimum of 5 games and IMHO should be longer.

I was a neutral in terms of who i wanted to win but after seeing what Chase did i was cheering all the way for Fev.

Oh it's an elbow now!

That's shoulder, forearm and elbow all being used....he must have positioned himself at a weird angle for that

I guess the Sky commentators are a disgrace too for calling it a great hit are they?

The Sky commentators got it wrong. That's not an unprecedented occurrence.

No penalty was given and there wasn't a proper replay of the incident for the commentary team to look at. Had there been, I'm sure their view would have changed.

Not the worst thing that's ever happened on a Rugby field, but would have been a red card if spotted and a definite ban.

Absolute sulk from Chase, nothing game off for him all day so went for the cheap shot. Hope he's no where near the England set up, if he cant beat a championship defence what chance does he have against Australia and New Zealand?

6 months for me, worst challenge I've ever seen and that includes Hopoate's infamous ear bleed challenge.

Grow up and worry about Wakefield instead of Cas.
