3 matches (oh and £300) is ludicrously lenient, IMO of course.

Young Johnnie in (say) Hemel is feeling attracted to playing RL. His parents think it's "a rough northern game" and would sooner he stuck to tennis. They get to hear of this incident and somehow see the video clip which appears to confirm their opinion, but Johnnie persuades them it's just a one-off occurrence and the offender will be punished.

"So how long did that Chase fella get suspended for after that terrible tackle?" asks dad...

And now there's another potential successor to Tim Henman and Andy Murray.

So what's your opinion on David Howell's ban for biting last year? Or L'estrange's ban for a spear tackle over Easter? Gareth Hock's for gouging?

Of course, this is the only tackle that will put people off the game.

It's time for people to accept that it was a reckless tackle and not intentional.

3 matches for a reckless challenge, if it was deliberate the grading would have been higher, as would the ban.

It's what the RFL have classed it as, apparently.

So yes, a reckless challenge. If you saw Chase play more than a couple of times a year too you'd know he always goes for shoulder charges in that manner yet this is the first time he broke someones jaw.

Only saw the elbow today. Dirty fooker should've got 8 matches minimum. End of chat!

So he was the "unlucky one" one then?

3 Games is clearly not enough.

He always goes for shoulder charges with his elbow raised into someone's jaw? And I thought this cowardly assault was a one off.
