Did it result in injury B2K ?

What did "Leeds" actually say?

Hardaker has now changed is mind. It wasn't an elbow according to his tweet.

Yes, legal or not Hardaker was unable to play the rest of the game

I agree Hardakers tweet was foolish, I've also read that McDermott wanted another look at it.



I wasn't at the press conference and just wanted to know what Leeds had claimed regarding the other things Disco mentioned?

Great Post

I can confirm without a shadow of a doubt that the ref put the incident on report before he saw Hardakers tweet.

Wrong, I think you'll find the majority (and certainly myself) defending Sam Moa for a worse challenge last season.







Again, that is wrong - he has been charged with a "reckless shoulder charge" - now, I ask you this - how is Con Mika given NFA "making a legitimate attempt at a tackle" for his flying headbutt whilst Chase is charged for a reckless challenge where his feet are set and the attacking player has lost balance and falls into the challenge?



It isn't an anti-Cas thing, it's a consistency thing.







The RFL disciplinary system is FAR from robust and the rules are worded in a way in which they can be left open to interpretation



As for your comments about prejudicial hearings - there were 2 red cards this weekend, Rangi Chase getting taken out off the ball, a flying headbutt and Jamie Peacock ripping someones head off. Which tackle got the most attention? The one that the opposition & Sky kicked up a stink about, one that was deemed legal by the officials and that is the only one outside of the red cards that have been called up to face a ban, again, despite being deemed legal by the officials and no clear video of the incident.







He might not be soft but he's a typical Whino. Who like Luke Burgess with the team bus window incident, got proven wrong.

It's all noise Gronk.



Ask yourself this question - Cas and Wakey play each other; Justin Poore takes Chase out with a full-blooded hit, that *may* have involved contact with the head and leaves him dazed and confused on the floor. The referee is unsure what happened, so puts the incident on report to be looked at later.



Do you (and your fellow pitchfork wielders) say, "fair enough - it was a big hit," or do you expect Poore to be called to account for that tackle, so the disciplinary committee can have a look at it and hear his side of the story?



Calm down dear - this is about player welfare, not persecuting poor little innocent Rangi.

It wasn't put on report, the only signal Tim Roby gave was scrum, Castleford head & feed. Roby was also stood no more than 3 yards away from the incident and had a clear view of it, so are the committee questioning the ability of one of their full time officials?







If there's a worse challenge in the same week let off for a "legitimate" attempt at a tackle then it would be daft, just as this is now.



Does Chase also fall face first into the challenge due to breaking a previous tackle attempt?





If it's all about player welfare then:

Why is Con Mika not charged nor asked to "explain himself" - penalty given during the game

Why is Jamie Peacock not charged nor asked to "explain himself" - penalty given during the game

Why is Justin Poore not charged or even cited for standing on Withers head - no penalty given during the game and rightly so



But if it's all about "player welfare" then all those cases would have been called up.



Now stop trolling, as per usual.

So being the fair judge of a situation that you are Bren, what would you describe Hardacker's "he got me with his elbow" 2 days later "erm shoulder" Tweet? A lack of class? football esque drama to get the opposition in trouble?

Gets dropped by rangi.... He hit me with his elbow



Oh wait it's wasn't



Cowardly, soft, vindictive and an insult to a game normally played by men !!!
