That said I don't doubt he was targeted, I would hope criminal charges are brought against those who targeted him as their appears to be plenty of witness's. I suspect Powell won't put up with him any longer. Let down the club who have supported him and his team mates who he recently praised for helping him.

londonbronco Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 A virtuoso now overshadowed by his off-field antics, unfortunately, will never get the on-field credit he deserved. Hope someone can give him the help he needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't in the clubhouse so can't vouch for the veracity of what I heard happened, but the story goes that he was being grossly over familiar with a woman, who's husband naturally took exception to his wondering hands. The altercation then went outside and Rangi was removed from the premises. I did see Rangi as I was entering the stadium and he looked to be in a right state. Darryl Powell is a mate of the chairman's, wouldn't be at all surprised if he was present. The bloke clearly needs urgent help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny79 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Everyone says he needs help well first you have to help yourself,,I know a lot about mental health issues and he is certainly not helping his self. look at Paul wood speaks about his issues but you never hear him having fights and drunken brawls. the bloke just likes getting wasted and if I didn't know who he was I'd of had him down as a snack head the way he looked last night..as for been "targeted" he makes himself a target..

Agree on this point. I think Rangi has access to help. I would expect professional help which I assume the club or RFL have/would facilitate, alongside support from a close group of grounded team mates (JSL has introduced him to his church group as an example of this help). Talking of church the parable of the flood springs to mind in Rangi's case http://blog.eternalvigilance.me/2012/01/the-parable-of-the-flood/. He needs to start taking the help and help himself!

I'm sure you find yourself funny in your own little way Now then, it's a race between Sandie....and Fairburn....and the little man is in........yeees he's in. I, just like those Castleford supporters felt that the ball should have gone to David Plange but he put the bit betwen his teeth...and it was a try Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.

Robin Evans Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I can see how the club might target him for a short term contract.... a tilt at the 8s..... he wouldn't be my choice in a million years and I suspect his reception at Fev would be at best tepid to hostile and as demonstrated on Thursday.. .. quite possibly threatening. There are no doubts as to his past abilities though I believe his best is a long time past and his value to a settled squad more negative than positive.

Although when it says he made his debut in 2009 and he has only played 142 games for the club, I guess this explains why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
