Featherstone v Halifax : Thu May 11, 2017 9:36 pm  

Just been watching tonights game.

Although neither a super league side, thought it was a very good game, and the result in doubt to the closing stages..

A very good advert for the championship, and dare I say it, more entertaining than some Super League games

I thought it was ... as often happens when you get two evenly matched teams... a good entertaining game.

A very long way from the pinnacle of the sport but entertaining nonetheless!!

It was ok but neither team impressed me with the ball, everything was all a bit slow and there was a lack of dummy runners or anything likely to confuse a SL defence. I think I am right in saying all the trys either came from a missed tackle or a bad defensive read.

Just heard that Randy Chase plus one other got ejected from this game. Anybody know why?

Rumour has it that he had a few too many and ended up in a bit of a scuffle with some Fev Fans. Lets be honest he is not exactly Mr Popular in those parts so not sure why he would go there in the first place.

Maybe someone remembered what he did to Roapti, last time he was there.

He allegedly got a bit tipsy and started a fight with a Fev fan, he's supposed to have come away from the fight second best, and both of them were removed. I feel for the lad, I've struggled with mental health problems for nearly a decade and at times have turned to 'self-medicating'. It never ends well

It seems he still has his demons. As a Cas fan I hope we can hopefully support him. Id drop him from the squad, get him some professional help and then see how his mind is after that. I don't think we will keep him on at the end of the season and to dump him now may affect him even more. Sad state of affairs really as he is a class player when he is on his game.

Too much time and money on his hands, what would he be like if he had a proper job.

I had a well paid "proper job", it didn't stop my head going to a bad place and drinking myself into oblivion. The reality is that if he's as bad as some reports, he needs to get into proper treatment and rehabilitation to stand a chance of ever being able to do a "proper job"
