What an absolute load of ballcocks,Rangi's been charged for PUNCHING in a RL match Shock horror!!! Why don't the RFL just go the whole hog and change the rules to Touch and pass and do away with any aggression in the game

If every player got charged for punching then fair enough but they dont and its a joke Chase is up for it.
Surely evidence is shown with players punching and no action taken?This sets the rfl on dodgy ground but we all know its the rfl here !!

All the sports websites seem to be making a bit of a big deal about him being charged

Wow what a shock that is. Suits the RFL's agenda down to the ground does this one they want to give the Crusaders every chance of getting a win in front of the cameras before decision day on the 26th.

I notice no Leeds players are on that list either.

Ever since the fixture was switched then re-timed for TV I've had a feeling that this is a game we may have to work twice as hard as normal to have any chance of winning. I wonder if further suspicion around Crusaders suspending 7 players to effectively gift HKR 2 points, but rest half the team, will be diffused by their continued absence this weekend????

I was actually suprised at the time that the penalty decision wasn't reversed in favour of Bradford due to Chase's punching. However, the fact that it wasn't should (in a fair world) suggest that in the eyes of the officials present it was nothing but a show of frustration.

Hopefully just a fine and a slap on the wrist!

Yes it would be harsh if Rangi copped a ban for Saturday given his previous record. However if he is i would hope the management would use it as motivation to the squad to go out and prove to the rest of the r.l world & media we aren't a one man team that many think we are!
