| Thought it was a 50/50 call, if a penalty had been given I wouldn't have complained, no more than that though. As aways incidents look worse in slow motion, plus with the angle of the players I'm not 100% certain that Scruton could even see that the ball had been released. A massive fuss about nothing.

Start by getting Chase to keep his elbows down then! Maybe, if you are so strongly opposed to these dangerous tackles, you should post your disgust every time Chase does one of his headshots. You should contact e club and the RFL to complain about him. It might not win you many friends on the Cas boards, but at least you will be able to feel you are doing your bit to stamp it out.

| If it had been penalised I would have disagreed but accepted it, to be honest. At the end of the day, a big bloke running flat out can't pull up on a sixpence...or even a two pence piece and despite what anyone says Scruton didn't catch the head.
Maybe we either make tackling illegal or stop telling ball carriers to leave it until the tackler is 'on them' before passing the ball - that'll certainly end the problem, even if it kills the game...

Wasting your time. Honest debate is dead on RL forums. Very few people can see past their own colours. It's a shame really, we're headed down the same path as football.

Fans take up pre-determined, partisan positions shock - read all about it?

Unfortunately, as I am not Ian Millward or any of the Cas coaching staff I am pretty powerless to change the way Chase tackles. However, if you read my previous posts (or Casforum) you will see my posts about Chase's "tackling" technique, he has got away with more than he should too. I was sat about 10m directly to the side of the Hardaker tackle and I said at the time, before seeing any replays, that he would be looking at 4-5 games. I don't know if my opinions 'win friends' on the Castleford boards, many of the posters (like on here) cannot seem to see past their club colours even when cold, hard evidence slaps them in the face!
I don't need to feel like I'm doing my bit to "stamp out" these kind of tackles, that is up to the RFL (and I don't have any influence there unfortunately!).

| Just because fans on here don't agree with your assessment of the challenge doesn't mean they're necessarily one eyed supporters who 'cannot see past their clubs colours, even when cold hard evidence slaps them in the face'. Personally I think your view on the incident is nonsense but I guess we will see once the committee announce who is up for trial this week.
I rather suspect that Mr Chase might well have received a much longer ban (if the offence category allowed) if the game had been on Sky and subject to various high quality replays. This is another amongst plenty of other issues I have with having video refs at only some games in SL.
Given the effect of the daft kick off time on a Sat and being live on sky had to our crowd I rather hope they don't visit Odsal again all year to be honest. Another kick in the balls for Omar given we aren't even receiving half our Sky allocation!

To be honest, I was thinking more about the Castleford 'victim sydrome' that seems to affect so many of our supporters, and was thinking more about the Chase incident rather than Scruton's tackle with regards to Cas supporters not accepting he hit Hardaker in the head.

Now I'm not an expert on this but wasn't it the agreement when the RFL paid your players' wages last season?

They advanced money due from last year, not 2013... well certainly not 1.2M worth anyway. But best perhaps not to open that can of worms all over.
I don't particularly like the Saturday games, especially at the peculiar 16.45 kick off time. It would seem that view is shared by quite a few Cas and Bulls fans too.

They didn't pay the players wages.
