Now you don't need to be worrying about that cocka.... we'll be just fine.

Last week makes it all the sweeter!!!

I can fully understand why the NRL have banned the shoulder charge - if badly executed, a misplaced shoulder could make contact with a players head and, with all the extra blood they’ve had pumped into them their heads could explode.

My understanding is that the players all have to sit a mandatory cognitive test during pre-season which gives a baseline score. After a concussion the player involved has to re-sit the test and will only be cleared to play once their result is comparable to their baseline mark.

So it's not a specific number of games as such. It depends on the recovery of the player involved.

I dont think the fans will all agree that he hit him high, when i watched the game again and re-assessed the tackle whether we like it or not over hear, we see what we wanted to see, at the time for me it was a good hit, a week later watching the DVD when the glasses come off, he co-pt the chin......


good luck tonight

If Rangi Chase (or any other pro RL player) hit me on the chin with either elbow or shoulder I don't reckon I'd know what had hit me either!

He's a liability.

Technically awful etc.

Say what you will about cross but he makes a cracking labourer on the building sites

Looks like you were bang on AP. The power of the Leeds Prevails.

Common sense prevails.

Was Rangi the last professional RL player to perform the now out dated shoulder charge tackle and thus get banned in the process for it?

How will Castleford and England now go about the task of teaching Rangi to tackle legitimately?

You can guarantee somebody will forget the ban in the heat of the moment. SBW got sinbinned for a shoulder charge whilst playing for the All Blacks just last year, in a sport where it hasn't been allowed the whole time he was playing.

I remember complaining about SBW's 'hit' on Bai in 2005 (and mostly getting shouted down). Maybe the RFL has finally reacted to my postings from back then?
