I refer you to my previous response.

It's quite entertaining over on the Vt. Gronk is making himself look an even bigger tool.

Dude, I almost had you.

I've just watched the game again; all Gronk's nonsense about the sin-binning is based around the fact that Mr Thaler shouted 'Cas Ball!" He didn't - he shouted "Play the ball" and the Fev player couldn't, because Clarke was holding on to prevent him playing it. Sin bin was the correct decision.

As for the Chase incident - it looked like an elbow to me; he should be facing a lengthy ban.

saw the game this afternoon on eurosport( well some of it as i was watching the sharks/eels game at the same time..) the first cas try was short of the line... the chase tackle/hit was dubious but not enough evidence to call it either way but it did look bad and it was either an elbow or hand into face, didnt look like a shoulder.. fev looked up for it and best team won as far as i am concerned

Couldn't really tell from the angles shown whether the impact was shoulder or elbow. The elbow is up there but was it just after impact? They'll be other angles available to the disaplinary that will show it better. Either way its a ban as it was a shot to the head, its just the length that needs to be decided.

I'm sure his triumphant sneer at the injured player then furtive glance at the ref will be taken into account.

Sporadically great player, but a horrible individual.

I think the sin-binning was extremely harsh if I'm honest.

Clark wasn't going to slow the play-the-ball down; he clearly thought he had a right to attempt to steal the ball one on one. All it needed was a bit of common sense from Thaler to state Fev ball and Clark would have got his hands off straight away. Even if he felt that Clark was slowing it down, a penalty would have sufficed. Ultimately, the man down cost us in the grand scheme of things as it meant that Fev took advantage.

Or it could just be that you weren't good enough on the day and Fev were fantastic and deserved their win!

Live with it!

Where have I ever said otherwise? Perhaps you should read other posts before jumping in [again]

Perhaps you should stop bleating about your club on here [again] and instead offered your neighbours the congratulations they deserve!

I'm sorry - you lot are the ones talking above about the said incident I replied to. Maybe, you lot should focus on Fev in that instance?

And I've already offered my congratulations, thanks.

Correct call for me - clear holding on and prevented the try that would inevitably have come from a quick ptb; professional foul all the very day.

Cas could have cause to feel aggrieved that Tommy Saxton didn't get the same treatment when he stripped the ball from a Cas player on his own line, to slow things down while the defence got set. Maybe that's justice for the first Cas try being short of the line and the Youngquest knock on that was missed?

Looked to me like a classic case of disrespecting the opposition, whereas Fev came with an excellent game plan and executed it almost flawlessly; their management of Chase was exemplary and was probably what caused him to lose his rag and attack Ropati.

Fev can feel the same with cas first try which was way short and the blatant knock on in build up to Griffins try.
