It'd be more convincing as a big hit gone wrong if he hadn't stood over him, glared at him and had a word at him about how big a man he obviously now is. Even Youngquest looked disgusted.

Prove it.

In fact, you prove exactly what his intentions/motives/thought processes were at that point.

Thought not.

Oh come off it, he turned around, looked at the tackle whilst jogging slowly towards his own line. I would think that he was making sure the tackle was completed.

As for Rangi's face, from what I see of him he always looks serious like that.

The prove is on the video, he goes in with his arm and raises his elbow!

It was an attempted shoulder charge that was poorly executed and ended up raising his elbow. It wasn't an intentional elbow, but it was a reckless one, and it was definitely an elbow involved.

I think Grade C is an awful decision, but it can change between now and Wednesday. Grade C is either the highest possible for a reckless shoulder or the lowest possible for a reckless elbow. It wasn't a shoulder, and if that's the lowest possible for an elbow then I'd hate to see the highest!

In other words, no, you can't prove he "went to injure" another player. You're assuming that based on the nature of his tackle, which was reckless, stupid and high - as are a lot of challenges in Super League.

Raising an elbow doesn't make it intentional to injure a player. It could have been (and probably was) just extremely reckless.

Of course he went in to injure him - that's why players do 'shoulder charges'.

Tangi has job working within the club working in the community department - going to schools and training the kids etc as well as doing various media appearances on behalf of the club etc

Although limited in some capacity im sure there are some things Tangi will be able to do regarding his community job and continue to make various media appearnces once the initial effects of his operation are overcome

No doubt the club will look after him and have his best interests at heart, but i would think he will still be earning while recovering

He is though really going to be missing out on the matchday payouts and a big payday and playing appearance for the wigan game which is the most unfortuneate thing on the monetary side of things

....That could be the most ridiculous comment since Chase should be banned for life.

A shoulder charge is intended to intimidate and force an error, not injure players.

It's rare you'll see a player go out to intentionally injure a fellow professional, you get it from time to time (biting, gouging, punching etc) but on the most part, these guys play hard because that's what they're paid to do, and they expect the opposition to play hard too.

You do realise he'll have insurance, right?
