Well done Rangi.

Confirms what we all know, he is a star - but for the purposes of other forum users and clubs and would be rumour mongers:.

He's e, wouldn't pay him in washers, sonner he clears off the better.........

I am so pleased he has won the medal as he has been such an exciting player over the season. He has held the Cas side together and deserves some kind of recognition for his efforts.

I cant believe that one Warrington fan on there forum said that they would want someone of a better class than Chase to replace Briers, my word, some people obviously dont realise the true talents of the man.

Well done to Rangi Chase.

Well done to Rangi. I was keeping my fingers crossed that Tomkins would stay behind him as I think Rangi deserves credit for the way in which he has led Cas throughout the season plus created some great play. That pass to the right while running to the left against KR at the weekend was absolutely brilliant.

Well done to Rangi. Thoroughly deserved.

He also features in the SL dream team for 2011.

Man of Steel next??

May be we should just change the name of this thread to the Rangi Chase Awards thread....

Unfortunately this time in second place but still highly ranked!!..... rlLinkyrl

Quick question for the regulars who see him week in week out.

Would you say hes consistantly a great player?
From what ive seen he tends to drift in and out of games rather then been a constent threat at every chance; and seems to disappear when it gets tough or you fall behind in a game (this may be due to the fact he is a marked man and gets to much pressure on him when you are on the back foot)

Just wonder what your thoughts are as you see him week in week out..

IMO It's very rare to see him 'disappear' in a game, If the pack are on top you really do notice him because he has the time and space to mesmerise the opposition and it shows really well on the TV.
Although when the pack aren't on top it's either, he's still trying and on occasion along with others too much and hence things don't come off, or we tend to play too much one man rugby so he doesn't tend to get the ball as much.

I think the start of the season showed Rangi in the former during the time when we had our pack was at full strength, once the pack was decimated we weren't on top as much so he didn't have the time or ball as much.

well done rangi .glad you won this special medal.

Well done Rangi
