Two Cas fans were walking through a cemetery when they happened upon a tombstone that read: "Here lies John Johnson, a good man and a Wakefield fan."
So, one of them asked the other: "When the hell did they start putting two people in one grave?"

FWIW (nothing much in any case..lol)
Chase is eligible to be picked, that's the end of that matter right there. So if the coach thinks he is good enough to be in the 17 & aside from maybe Brough as an alternative I'm happy he's playing.
He did some good stuff on Sat & some not so good stuff, I'm sure he'll be the first one to stick his hand up & say I fecked up a couple of times as did most of the players out there in any case.
With the responsibility he had when it goes awry it can often end up going really wrong, that's just the nature of things. If that kick had come off we'd have been saying it was 'sensational' as Kear would put it. It didn't, that Hall completely missed the tackle (which resulted in their winger making easy metres) compounded matters but no-one dare mention that.
However he did show glimpses of what he can do in attack. He was always going to be under the spotlight & some non Cas fans just couldn't wait to get into him no matter what. I Thought his D was a little better than previous.

If he's picked I'll be shouting for him to rip the kiwis apart.

Furthermore no-one mentions errors by Sinfield such as his failure to find his centre with a routine pass when a try was begging. And I've actually no problem with that because some of his other passes were sublime. It's just a pity people can't take a balanced view of overall performance in Chase's case because as you say he did good things particularily in attracting defenders but keeping play alive eg a great late offload to a receiver who had unfortunately switched off and fumbled but must remain nameless.

Personally I think Rangi is handicapped by his club background. Cas play in very few high intensity contests so Saturday was a massive step up for him and his game thrives on a level of involvement he was never going to get as an international rookie.

YES THEY DO - BUT NOT ON A THREAD ABOUT RANGI.

Okay but I was alluding to the media.

I haven't read much of anything in the media about the game, but if you look at the VT and other club boards, you'll see liberal sprinklings of criticism of Sinfield, Westwood and Yeaman for example, as well as Chase.

Whereas you are incapable of posting a sensible statement in the middle of all the big piles of steaming, blue, white and red-tinted twaddle.

Just let her play, its so funny watching the soap dodger make an ass of herself.

Menopausal , thats her problem

How original ........................... but then i expected no more

Welcome , go sit in the dirty corner with bren and the dodgers

pmsl ........... just for you

Errant nonsense, as well you know; I've had some genuinely interesting discussions on here in recent times, with some of your more sensible compatriots.

Banter with local rivals is one of the most enjoyable elements of supporting your club, but I have very little time for the type of idiots who take it so seriously that they can't see past it; are you one of those people?

Another bout of incontinence? I'd go get that checked if I were you, you seem to be wetting yourself a lot.

Accept Chase wasn't the stand out performer for England on Saturday but he hardly had a shocker either. Did some good things and some bad things like most players in the side, of course people tend to highlight the couple of big mistakes he made. I wonder if Darius Boyd will be dropped from the Australia side given he was personally responsible for 2 of England's tries?

Lockyer had a pretty forgettable game for Australia too but I don't suppose he'll be dropped (though might be rested given they're in the final already and the opposition being played).

This call to drop Chase just reflects the impatience of your typcial England RL fan. McNamara should stick with the side he's got - injuries permitting - or at worst bring Widdop into the halves and put Chase on the bench from which he could have a major impact.

how very nineties ........... never heard that one before

please try harder mr Gentle
