Hmm..........

Like I said, it's only natural that fans want to protect their own players. Doesn't make my opinion on the matter any less valid.

Rangi does tend to try and put on the "big hit" with his shoulder quite often but in this scenario I still think that he goes to meet Ropati who tried sidestepping and unfortunately Chase catches him high and the arm follows through which I think is only natural. Normally the collision would prevent the arm moving forward.

In otherwords you have been digging so much that you have finally reached China and have left yourself with nowhere to go so you would rather this thread 'vanished' instead of you admiting what a charlie you made of yourself.

Well there's more than enough in this thread to make a case for him.

Unless of course you can prove that everyone in here saying it's a premeditated attack and he meant to strike Ropati's head is in fact true, which I wish you luck with because unless you're Rangi Chase you can't prove it can you.

Aww.
Duddums.

No, during a quiet period at work we actually discussed this and we came to a 15 to 3 consensus this thread contains enough material to successfully sue the website/individual posters.

The 3 who disagreed came to the conclusion neither party would be able to make a case strong enough to win.

So you don't think it at all strange that the ONLY folks who think it was a 'tackle' are Cas fans?
Surely some fans elsewhere would come by this conclusion if it was in anyway in doubt.
So far none have.
Strange that eh!!

So I assume if we sent off our case to CTRLFC for Rangi Chase to look at and he agrees there is a claim to be made, you will personally take up the defence?

Look at the 2nd gif posted by Dumdum, first contact from that angle appears to be a head clash. Why his arm comes up after it, well that is his terrible technique when he shoulder charges, as many people have said - he does it EVERY WEEK and 99% of the time, it's a legal hit.

It's reckless and an unfortunate accident.

I'd suggest this thread be closed because all the people claiming it to be a premeditated attack, calling for him to be charged and saying he should be sued could get this website in a lot of trouble.

There is not a head clash, that's clear to see.

I think it's one of the worst elbows I've ever seen. Easily on a par with Cassidy on Morley.

Feel free to mention me in court.
