We get bullied cos teams know we're too soft....Koppy, Eorl etc are hardly the type to go in and flatten someone ala Mason, Griffin, LOD etc ...we deemed players like this dispensable ...we have suffered in the forwards ever since !!

Child claimed he didn't see anything wrong,the touch judge however did and reported it to Child.So whose word will the board take I wonder,the referee will presumably have submitted his report to the tribunal.

Exactly Daz.

letting griffin go to leeds was a very bad move, at the time he was the cornerstone of our pack

showed a few of out forwards how to go forward the other day too

Haha -SO good rhinos (regular trophy winners) couldnt wait to get shut....he's not known as teapot for nothing!

I don't have any issue with the fact that we let the likes of Griffin, Mason or LOD move on - I think the time was right in all those cases - but I do have an issue with the fact we didn't replace them with players who could do a similar job and continue to show no intention of doing so.

Hauraki got two matches(downgraded to grade b) for the "tackle" on grix. He's also got two for punching in the wigan game. Let's hope chase gets a big slice too- I'm sure leigh fans would agree

7 games for the little grub.....Doesn't benefit us though, if only we had had a strong referee on the field when they committed their offences instead of one that comes across as a scared little schoolkid...

Harris
"I did not think there was too much in it."

"It was unfortunate that Brett Ferres got injured" "but for it to be a grade E offence is ridiculous."

no Harris what's ridiculous is that YOUR player has had THREE separate incidents of dubious lower leg tackling up before the disciplinary in one weekend.
What's ridiculous is that the ref didn't deem it a penalty at the time. And what's more ridiculous is that chase is out of the game for a fraction of the time our player is likely to be- because your player is a dirty nasty house. I hope it costs salford big time.

bit disappointing from the Salford camp...it wasn't hard to see exactly what Chase was doing, the fact that they are pretending it was an innocent incident is a bit crap really !!!

Chase is a grub. Real cheap shotter. Always has been.

Our pack is (most of the time) efficient, hard working, decent sized and have got some real skill about them at times (Huby, Ferres and bailey in particular). But we don't seem to have that edge that the best packs always have. Ferres at times shows a bit of devil, but it's not really his game.

Right or wrong, I would always want someone in our team 'policing' what chase did. Collar him, rag doll him, smack him, instigate hand bags, whatever. But loudly and clearly, you don't get away with that with one of mine. And on top of that the next time chase or one of their main lot takes it in you make a point of smashing him. Difficult to coach that. You need to bring that In to the club. The difficult bit is signing someone who has the ability aligned with that aggression.

spot on jools, how Harris, or anyone for that matter can defend what Rangi Chase did is ridiculous.
is he saying that's it's acceptable for players to go out and injure other players so his team gains an advantage?
he should be brought to book for those comments, appalling stuff from him!

as for our pack, yes they are efficient and maybe that's it but they don't frighten people, they don't bully people, they get on with their work quietly, with the likes of Mason, Griffin, O'Donnell we were feared, other teams knew that even if they got the upper hand they were gonna have to do it rough and tough, the pack we have now might be better footballers than Griffin and Mason but they don't have that nasty element that all packs need.

Can't argue with that.

Mason was a nasty piece of work too- that stamp on fielden was well out of order!!
