Exactly this. The fact he stands there proud of himself after what he's done says all that needs to be said about his intentions.

There are lots of variables here.

I'm not sure how the burden of proof falls in disciplinary.

The first decision will be what he is charged with -

Forearm is more lenient ; reckless is more lenientintentional high tackles, kicking a prone opponent, an assault on an opponent from behind, gouging.
− Unprovoked violent assaults punished severely & period suspensions considered.
Retaliation - wasn't an act of retaliation
Injury caused - If the Misconduct has caused injury to an opponent, this may result in a higher penalty than if no injury had occurred.
− Panels may consider the length of time an injured opponent is likely to be out of the game when passing sentence.
Incident not part of play
Other aggravating factors

It is all about intent.If the panel proves intent (or if Chase fails to prove recklessness) then we are into 3 or 4 month bans rather than 3 or 4 matches...

They will take length of injury into account as well.

Do we know if Chase has actually been cited? The RFL Disciplinary page only lists players up to 9 April. Am I right in thinking hearings take place on a Tuesday?

Think the citings etc normally appear monday afternoon/evening.

Gronk appears to have gone missing since dum dum put the other view on...

He's busy on Photoshop.

Dunno about that. Apart from his petulant little outbursts when things weren't going his way, he looked very good against Hull. His main problem is that he's surrounded by crap.

Looks like Mick Cassidy all over again!!

watch this space...

In this one you can see the TJ running back (just his green sock) so he will have had a similar view to the other GIF. Obviously paying as much attention as they usually do. Also, if there was no intent, why the hell does he flick out his elbow in the final moment whilst it's making contact with the head?

As a Cas fan, on the at the game and later on TV it didn't look that bad. More of a firm shoulder to shoulder collision, however the above slow-mo doesn't make good viewing at all.

Grade C 2-3 matches.

Here's his record. Haven't gone through it.
