We did get rid, he was under contract with us. We had the choice to say "rangi if you want to go to Salford, you have to wait until your contract runs out.... Sorry old cock but you signed a deal to stay so your staying" end of.

No we say give us a couple of hundred grand and tickle our belly mr. Koukash we have Luke Dorn coming

I signed a contract when I started my job as well, I'm fairly sure they can't tell me I have to stay...

Aside from mentioning Jacob Miller, you haven't said who would be better and available/affordable for us

We have only won 6 games this season with Rangi in the side. Maybe with Tansey/Dorn/Ellis/Sneyd in the team (in whichever combination) we might just play as a 'team' rather than a one man band.

I highly doubt we can afford stig

Don't talk like a wet fart, if we say Rangi stays he stays end of.... I'm pretty sure McDonald's contracts are easier to get out of than SL contracts He can't play for Salford in SL unless we say so.... Impossible. We hold his registration.

So your saying Luke Dorn is the best available half in world RL for 2014 ??? Rangi was on £200k a year (we are led to believe ) so we sell him and replace him with Luke Dorn .... And that's the best we can come up with ??? It's a joke and tbh has left me questioning why I spend the money I do on Cas Tigers

I had a quick browse of the Zero Tackle website and the half backs available (off contract) in the NRL.

Its seems a straight choice between young, un-tried players (which Ryan Stig is one) and the experienced over 30 type (like Nathan Fien, Craig Gower)etc.

Its a pity Peter Wallace is still under contract at the Broncos in 2014, think he'd do well over here.

Just read a few tweets & it says Rangi is staying at Cas & something to be announced at 1pm tomorrow, ?????????????

Saw that too. This whole situation just needs resolving now. The whole will he/won't he circus isn't doing anyone any good.

You'll all be let down when nothing is announced. Why do you think Salford have moved their player announcement until the last game of the season, it's so Chase can continue the rest of the season without any mither.

The Rangi U-turn rumour defies logic for all sorts of reasons.

That said, surely it'd be better for all concerned just to put the whole thing to bed once and for all.

Or the thug has turned you down and it gives the venerable DR time to beg someone else to join.

I wouldn't get any hopes up Frank. He's be announced as a Salford player on 6th September - that I am sure of. I'll be glad when its over TBH. The whole Salford media attention grabbing circus is getting a bit tedious now and its disruping a lot of clubs this season when there is still something to play for.

To be fair to Koukash, he says on the official website that announcements of signed/signing players is delayed at the wishes of their current Clubs. I'm just as fed-up as everyone else with this prolonged saga, but it seems that Salford are not the ones to blame.

The only thing I find distasteful about it is how Salford have targetted players already under contract. Other than that I don't blame them for anything. Salford have struck gold by landing MK as benefactor.

Apparently last night Dave Mathews CEO, DR Koukash, Brian Noble and Rangi Chase went down to Leeds to sign 2 players. One of them mentioned was Tim Smith the other I do not know.
