He should auction off his MoS award for Ropati's benefit. He should never have won the award in the first place so this would do something to right that wrong and make some restitution to Ropati for the injury he suffered. |

Agreed. Love your user name - I'm guessing you aren't a fan of the MoS awards process either!
I think though that last year was an even bigger disgrace than the Barrett/Roby debacle. When they robbed Trent at least they had the decency to overlook him in favour of a player who was also world class, even if not up to Trent's standard that season. When they picked Chase over Tomkins on the other hand...   |

To me that makes it worse. That means that the players, who should know a good player when they see one better than anyone else, clearly dont know enough. Either that or they are a very jealous bunch. |

Just shows the fickleness of some players who voted for him. It's alot easier to stand out when playing for Castlford (no offence to their club) than if he played for Wigan or Wire etc |

| Quote Callum_Featherstone="Callum_Featherstone"There are three mandatory insurance policies in place covering Public Liability, Personal Accident and Death by Natural Causes.
However it is recommended that players and clubs consider whether additional cover is appropriate for their own personal circumstances.
I'm just not sure, and after looking into this matter, I'm slightly concerned how safe semi professional players are. This incident doesn't happen week in week out, the game has cracked down on dangerous tackles, like chicken wing.
Tangi may have some sort of claim in place. The fans are concerned that if he doesn't have evidence of earnings through playing rugby league for Featherstone his visa may be brought into question :-/
Thank you for your well wishes'"
I would be seeking the services of a 'no win no fee' injury at work type lawyer to seek compensation from Cas, as it was one of their employees that caused his workplace injury.
It would be good exposure for these type of parasites and may get him an out of court settlement. |

2007 "the system is a disgrace, the players should pick man of steel"

anyway, back on topic - is there any recourse for Ropati to sue Chase, especially as his actions have led to a direct loss of earnings for Ropati. |

The MoS judging is an embarrassment to the sport. This sort of incompetence/petty jealousy is very unhelpful to RL's image and its attempts to be taken seriously as a significant sport in this country. |

I'm sure the club will seek legal advise on the matter. Can't think of any previous incidents, where a player has seeked compensation, against the individual who caused it. Hopefully it won't come to that. It's a contact sport, we want tackles to be legal of course, but we'd hate our players to refrain from big hits, to avoid the risk of potential court action.
