Great news

Thanks for you edit, I was about to take offence!

In fact, you will see I updated my post before you posted your reply anyway (you must have been typing as I was doing so.) I was distracted by a cat jumping on the keyboard, and lost my train of thought since I had every intention of making that point as I was typing. My missus would say its more a case of increasing senior moments...

Having now watched it on replay several times, I can see no problem with the contact. Both players were fully committed to travelling in a collision path. The pass was made too late for either player to pull out.

Nottstiger did you get my PM

Appreciated anyway, I mainly use RL Fans to post on other boards (I have Casforum for Cas-related stuff). Living out of the RL heartlands it is one of the few means I have to discuss the game, and it's surprising how may others assume that you are posting on their board as a "troll" or such like. Definately not the case on here, where although I have held a different viewpoint to most I do feel like it has been a debate rather than a slanging match!

Not yet seen any formal confirmation that he was found guilty of making contact with O'Brien's head or of a high tackle - 'reckless' doesn't necessarily mean 'high' - so will wait to see the formal adjudication on the RFL site first. Have only seen that 'The panel deemed the initial contact to have been legal', and that the charge was downgraded from a Grade B to a Grade A offence (lowest level).

Well actually to be fair, you originally claimed that the Scruton tackle was as bad if not worse than the incident involving chase and 'wondered how many games he would get'.

But anyway the correct decision has been made in the end, although I bet Scruton wished he had got a yellow than than the £300 hit to his pocket!

Aaahh, wasn't on sportinglife when I looked. Know I'm five hours behind but didn't think it applied t' t'interweb too! . Thanks.

I hadn't noticed it until you said, but have now replied.

Really, when did I say that?

On the original MoM thread.

From the Castleford MOM thread


Nick Fozzard's certainly spitting his dummy out on Twitter. Another nitwit who seems to think that a single still image tells the full story - just as he did with one he found of Rangi Chase's challenge on Hardaker (which he seemed to think proved Chase was innocent of any wrongdoing, strangely enough).

Especially as you don't have a cat...

This was my comment on the Chase "tackle", you must be confusing me with another poster.
