After reading all the comments I have decided to rename the thread slightly. I have dropped "Cas in decay?" and replaced it with "Cas crisis?" "Decay" may have been the wrong word to choose so I apologise for that.

However I think when two team mates get involved in a physical altercation then there might be some kind of crisis at the club.

The other example I had cited from the Sydney Roosters a few years ago, when Craig Fitzgibbon (later a stalwart at Hull FC) got into an abusive swearing confrontation with Brett Finch (later a stalwart at Wigan) was symptomatic of a crisis at that NRL club.

This incident at Cas was far worse because some Cas players rushed in to separate Rangi Chase and Keith Mason.

Note that I still put this as a question, not as an assertion. People were and are free to answer the question in any way they want. But I think that the incident was too serious to be ignored, the way the BBC ignored it.

Wrong again. LMS of Saints broke it up.

But some Cas players did rush in.

No they didn't, they were behind their own try line after the interception had been scored.
I know you are a joke character but even for you this is a bit ridiculous, I have seen bigger dust-ups at my daughter's brownie group.

This thread lost all credibility from the first post but the wild assertions since then made by Jean are even more amusing.

Chase did not throw the interception.
There was no fighting, no violence or punches thrown.
No Castleford players rushed in.
Only one Saints player was involved in keeping both apart as words were exchanged.

It was merely frustration. These are the facts Jean. Now go post something constructive and please, please, for the sanity of all humanity, stop boring us with made up tosh you DID NOT SEE.

Is this jean guy having a giraffe or what?

No its just a wind up. He does it all the time. We shouldn't bite.

Seen it happen at least 5 or 6 times when I played amateur. League and Union - once saw a Union prop and hooker kick the living **** out of each other because the hooker didn't like the way the prop was binding to him!

Jon Clarke gave Eamon O'Carrol a shove last night and called him a useless fat lover, after a short pass bounced off his chest near the Wakefield line.

Are Widnes in decay?!

Correct.

I''m surpised Jean hasn't commented on the mass rioting that took place on the terraces of belle vue last night, with shots fired and at least 4 grenades dispatched in scenes akin to a war zone.

Rugby league in crisis? Does marshall law need to be implemented at games?

Jean is currently in the barn sharpening his nal of Pitch folks ready for the French Invasion of SL.

To be honest i think the lad has just been on the cheese a bit to often and he is having bad dreams.

I am not surprised give the shocking condition of the stadium at Belle Vue.

However there were no players from the same team exchanging blows or simply confronting each other head to head. So that suggests that the ground is the problem, and some Widnes fans, but not the club.
