Well punching, swinging an arm into the face of an opponent, leading with an elbow could easily be classified as intentional strikes. I think it would be tough however to say whether the use of a shoulder was intentional unless it was being dropped on a grounded opponent perhaps.

Also this bit


[sizePotential for serious injury[/size

Since when is a broken jaw only potentially serious rather than serious

Bit of a contrary judgement really - they talked about the aggravating factors, stated that it was within their gift to go beyond the guidelines, made reference to his recent record, then went for the pathetic cop-out of 3 games and £300.

Let that be a lesson to you Mr Chase!

Cue Millward annd Chase high-fiving each other on the steps of Red Hall before going for a celebratory Nandos.

Although there are numerous categories, at the end of the day, the disciplinary have decided the challenge was reckless rather than intentional.

The overwhelming consensus, on here at least, was that it was intentional.

But what do we know, we’re just plebs, not knowledgeable disciplinary panellists, or maybe the panel was made up of Cas fans .

According to the rota, the panel was made up of :
P Charlesworth W George R Bridge

I assume when they said the had considered going outwith guidelines - that is code for a split decision in the panel ?

Not sure whether this has already been posted. Can't be bothered looking through 40+ pages.

that is aweful!

just watched it back for the 1st time and it is clearly intentional and Chase should be banned for as long as Tangi is out for.

Discrasful!!!!

The way I see it Cas were getting beat by lower league local rivals Fev and things weren't going Chase's way and he lost control. He is a petulant so and so when things don't go his way and seems to me that his frustrations got the better of him.

Cant belive that Boots and all didnt do a feature on this ....

I can, the video evidence is fairly conclusive on here and it clearly highlights that the RFL are a joke, would do no good for the sport to show that footage on TV and then say Chase received only 3 matches!!

Shocking, clearly took some serious impact..

Hope he recovers quickly

Agreed, that would be stupid trying to deport an Englishman to England. Although it may be possible to deport a Knob to Knobland - what's your legal take on that?

I would just like to say i have spoken with tangi and he has told me that rangi has not been in touch to apologise although tangi as said he doesnt really want to talk to him at the minute. Cant blame him really but it just shows what type of person chase is to not have even tried to apologise.

Heard people saying he hasn't spoken to him and also heard that Chase has phoned him up and spoke "at length" with him...so I'll wait for something more official.

Although if it does turn out that they have spoken, will that also "show what type of person" Chase is?

As i said this is straight from tangi and he also posted it on his facebook when asked by a fan if chase had been in touch. If thats not good enough for you then i apologise
