Quote: nottinghamtiger "No complaints I don't think, Chase went for the big hit and made contact with the head. Without his previous record, he may have escaped a ban.
My only problem is that there does seem to have been an element of 'trial by media', coaches and players in partuicular need to be prevented from discussing incidents before a verdict is reached. Not much can be done to stop journalists commenting though.
And I don't think Hardaker did himself any favours by claiming Chase had led with the elbow, to then change his mind when the RFL charge was contact made by the shoulder.
Anyway, we are without our star player for two games, but we are two points ahead of where I thought we would be!'"
Agree with this.
