I am pleased that the RFL haven't been fooled into thinking Chase went in with the elbow or forearm as I don't believe that was ever his intention.
As I've said before I believe it is only natural that the arm will raise up and I think there are various examples on the popular video sharing website of "big hits" in the NRL where you will see it is the case. Granted most of them are executed much better than this case.
Best of luck to Ropati in his recovery.
