Dont come on here talking Rugby union rar rar boys

, face facts RL is a tuff game players brake things, chase smashed one of your players in my view was fair shot, get over it! there ain't gunner be any criminal or civil action taken!!

"Brake things"

It doesn't matter whether you think it was fair or not. Others will decide guilt, not you or I.

You can't possibly know whether there will be any civil action. Have you spoken with Tangi yesterday or this morning??

Daft post.

Whether you approve of the court action or not, you'd have to admit that "Tangi vs Rangi" has a nice ring to it.

Would Ropati be insured if RL was his main income? Or would the club carry some sort of liability insurance for this? Accident in the workplace and all that.

I would have though 'all-cover' insurances were conditions of his visa?? Could be wrong though. I know when I looked to take up a nursing post in Canada many moons ago, I would have had to have all bases covered with Insurance for the duration of my visa.

Was that just for your liability though? Plus presumably you would have needed health insurance on account of the lack of NHS?

As stated, I needed all bases covered - an all circumstance policy(ies)!
Health, liability, inability to work, illness, etc! They simply would not consider granting temp/perm visas unless I had these in place first. I would have thought Tangi may well have such cover given his occupation puts him at risk of injury - costly too, but even most costly if you are not covered.

The RFL are doing their best to ruin this game , with superleague being a private members club etc . Bringing civil action into the fray will finish the game as a contest.

Whatever you think of Chases tackle , how many more mistimed or otherwise tackles do we see week in week out, none done with the intention severely injure the player. Will every tackler be hauled before the courts.

Do we really want this game to go tig and pass (or mostly kick) like union.

Time to let the authorities deal with it and stop using it to score brownie points, especially if its nowt to do with your team ........................................... capiche polecats ? Its a cas , fev thing so off you go back to your bucket collections

Agreed


Like it or not, it's here and has been for a long time.


No, just the one's judged to have committed an act worthy of action through the criminal or civil court.
Do I advocate this?? Well on balance, generally no. Because you then get the 'claim' culture spreading through the whole game - at a cost the game can ill afford.
However, there are so few such claims. Only the really severe one's will result in action. Was Chase's action that severe - again, my opinion means nowt. I won't be making that judgement.
If Tangi feels there is a claim and a need to persue his losses, he may well take such action, he may not. I'll bet he takes advice though - and by advice I mean pro advice not what some bloke from Rovrum or Cas thinks!!

C'mon, like knowing the full facts matters on RLFans.

To be honest (at the risk of interfering in a "cas, fev thing" - I'm not a "polecat" though) I wouldn't generally advocate legal proceedings outside the game's disciplinary, but you can't close the door on it altogether. There have to be limits to what you accept as "part of the game" and you can't just do whatever you want and be immune to prosecution because you did it on a rugby field.

I would personally feel that Chase's tackle remains within the confines of things the game should deal with. I may, of course, feel differently if it was my jaw and my income that was affected.
