I suppose that's why he got his missus knocked up too, it's all a ruse to get him a visa right? 
And as for the NRL comment, I'm pretty sure Brisbane tried to take him for when his contract ran out before he signed this new one.

On the basis he has international caps, he was international class HTH. |

| Quote imwakefieldtillidie="imwakefieldtillidie"Where as the current rules are punishing the English players who could be playing in his place. You can twist this as much as you want, but the only reason you're supporting Chase playing for England is because he's a Castleford player. Let's say Vince Mellars decides to make himself available for England and as a result keeps out Joe Arundel for arguements sake, I don't believe for a minute that any of you will be coming on here saying "Well done Vince". Rangi Chase is a mercenary. If he has to no loyalty to his country, I can't see him having much for Castleford.'"
Funnily enough, I don't see any young/current English players kicking up a fuss about his selection?
If Vince Mellars was eligible, was good enough for selection (i.e. winning Man of Steel) and subsequently did well in a game in England colours I'd be the same as for Rangi.
I also didn't care when Fa'asavalu played for England. TBH, I'd love to have a few Islanders (or similar build) playing for England in the forwards. We might actually win something then. |

And we still managed to sell-out Elland Rd didn't we? Obviously, Chase's unjustified selection had fans leaving the game in droves...... |

Or the most obsessed Wakefield fans who have nothing better to do than speculate, rumour-monger and make up rubbish about anything Castleford? |

Chase was rubbish, they were all rubbish.
There is a reason Chase is in SL. SL is a second rate comp and he is a second rate player like almost all the overseas player in SL. That's not a dig at him he may well return to the NRL one day and stake his claim. He also took the field with a team full of second raters and the were all 100% British.
Only Morley who was once world class and Ellis who has managed to attain a decent standard as an NRL player can be considered exempt and in Morleys case that is in the past tense. How sad is that.
To blame Chase would be churlish in the extreme. He is not to blame for the state we find ourselves in. That lays at the feet of a weak RFL and greedy short termist clubs of which Cas and Wakey and the rest are guilty of being.
Until the Chases of this world are a rarity and not the rule we will continue as a nation to fail - and I say again that is not the fault of Chase who like the rest of his new team mates simply wasn't good enough.
Shame we had to go through the last few month to work that out when it was obvious from the start.
