I wonder how many matches Chase would have received for his assault if his victim had been Sam Tomkins.

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.

This is the tackle which is the subject of this thread, so that's why we're discussing it here.

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

I am unpersuaded of that, sorry.

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.

About 95% of all the animals on earth have no backbone, or spine. They are called invertebrates and range from snails to big, wobbly jellyfish and the RFL disciplinary committee.

For some reason I am now imagining Eddie Hemmings as General Melchett versus the Flanders Pigeon Murderer!

I reckon it'd be Clarke who'd be the one going down.

I'm not sure how anybody can even try and defend Chase for this and claim there to be no intent.

The look he gives after the hit say's it all to me and he should be looking at 8-10 games at the very least.

Never mind that, what do you reckon if it'd been the other way round and Ropati had put that hit on Chase?
