It was a poor decision and I can understand his frustration, but he should really keep it to himself as he's not doing anyone any favours. He should really have learned his lesson from previous cases.

He should be knocking on Big Nige's door and telling him. I don't disagree with Hudge (wash my mouth out) but agree it would better done away from the public eye. perhaps with the support of other chairmen/owners.

First things first, i disagree with the RFL's decision and you as a club have been hard done by. It's clear Boudezba slipped. But Hudgells comments about Powell are ridiculous. Powell says;

“It’s really disappointing the type of tackles that can do that to people are still in the game. There’s a job needs to be done in terms of dealing with that, but that is no consolation to Shenny or to us.”

It's not a comment on Rovers, it's not a comment about the player, it's a comment on the state of the game today, so to say its "appalling" and Powell intended to 'inflame and prejudice this matter' and went "out of his way to publicly influence the suspension of a player at a rival club" is ludicrous.

I know Hudgell has previous but thats a Shaun Wane level meltdown.

To be fair in his post match interview on sky powell said there was no place in the game for tackles like that. He was fuming and stating he'd lost a player and it needed stamping out. He was very clearly blaming boudebza for intentionally coming in as 3rd man. I normally like powell but he was bang out of order with his comments.

I don't think that was what he said after the game though. That's probably what he said the following day after watching the video and Calming down.

So you think the 3rd man in going low DOESN'T need stamping out of the game? Or do you actually agree with Powell there?

Do you also believe Boudebza needed to perform the leg whip which caused the injury despite him joining the tackle was enough to complete the job before applying the undue pressure?

“That was a bad tackle – that’s got to be out of the game”

Is what Powell said about the tackle, everything after that was that Shenton needs sending for scans.

Campo having a pop now, the RFL are either going to have to hand a sh^t load of fines out, or bury their heads in the sand.

Well said Neil! Especially about Mr Powell. I shall boycott the return match.

I'm also going to boycott Castleford away and call on ALL of the Rovers fans to do the same. We can call the boycott off only once Powell has apologized to little John. I suggest the boycott should be continued into next season without an apology.

Hello Cyclops is back.

Boudebza didn't apply any undue pressure neither was initial contact below the knee.

Powell had a hissy fit after the game

You only have one eye.

These are the facts please deal with them in an emotionally mature manner

What's the point? I thought the rfl was the enemy here, why financially punish another club? Besides, I follow Rovers all over so I'd also be cutting my nose off by not attending one of the most accessible away fixtures in the calendar.

Re: Opener versus Cas Tigers : Thu Feb 11, 2016 7:20 pm  

I'm up for getting some buckets at the Wakefield game to start a collection for Hudgel's fine.
If we get enough to cover it we can get Powell a dummy with the left overs.
