Castleford players Rangi Chase and Keith Mason fought each other after Rangi Chase threw a pass that was intercepted by St Helens who scored. Mason was taken off the field.

Has this ever happened before in rugby league?

It is a shocking development.

What does this say about team spirit at Castleford post Ian "Basil" Milward?

Happens all the time in the Lebanese league.

But Castleford is not in Lebanon. There are sectarian divides between Sunni Muslims, Shia Muslims, Christians and Druze in Lebanon. As of now there are no Sunni, Shia, or Druze in the Castleford team.

It has brought the game into disrepute.

Not RL, but I was playing an American Football National Semi Final last season, when one of the opposition players took a swing at his coach (While still in full kit), and was then promptly put on his backside, the coach then took it too far, by applying a chokehold then stamping on the guy's back.

The player was suspended 4 games (Out of a 10 game season) by the team, and for a further 4 games by the National governing body. The coach was in the final game of a year long playing suspension, and got a 5 year total ban by the governing body.

No, one is a rat-infested, flea-bound, war-torn hot bed of poverty, suffering, neglect and hatred.

The other is in the Middle East.

Decent crowd that.

Cas in decay? I think thats the first home game we've lost at home since April. Arguably the team spirit is the best it has been for 18 months. It was a boiling hot day, a bit of pressure on us because a win & we're back in the hunt for the top 8, it was a crucial moment in the match and tensions boiled over. Handbags. Fights happen week in week out on the field (in front of 80,000 in Origin). Maybe you can drop us a line on friday night if Sheffield beat London or next saturday if freefallling Hull beat catalan.

Who won the fight?

Seems Powell has the same reaction at Cas as he did at Fev but at least at Fev it was behind closed doors apart from the one time he offered to fight any Halifax player that would listen.

As opposed to them home games not at home?

At crucial moments in a match team mates might attack members of the opposing team but they shouldn't attack each other.

Moreover there are no fights at Origin between[i members of the same team.[/i



I will drop you a line to let you know, just in case your TV or radio isn't working.

But I don't know what it has to do with Chase vs Mason.
