No I haven't. RC has been telling people he's going himself. The deal is done.

If that is the case then I hope we invest his salary into three more players that we desperately need.

Hope you are right - is there 3 players still available though on the market? Most have been sorted by now.

Isn't Basil in Australia at the minute looking for potential new signings? Hopefully we can uncover another "diamond in the rough" as we did with Rangi.

Talking to St George Illawara,his old club ??

If Rangi was to leave we would need a good player to replace him spreading his salary across 3 players would get us more of what we have had previous ie 3 below average SL players. We should use as much of his salary as in possible to get the best player available, although it would be much more likely we would end up with Seymour from Hull.

I'm sure RC reported salary could be used to pay the wages of 3 good SL standard players.

Ferris has stated that even if Chase leaves there will be no further additions to the squad. All monies received through transfer and saving on salary will be simply be absorbed into the clubs poor financial situation.

it's fair enough really. we are being asked to stump up our brass cause the club is struggling, it wouldn't be prudent to get a large income from the release of a player and spend it all on the 2013 season.

the long term stability of the club is far more important thanfinishing 9th rather than 13th in 2013

Is there only me that would be extremely disappointed if Rangi left?
When on his game he changes the whole direction of the team. Yes he is on a big wage and it could be better used elsewhere but if (more likely when) he goes, who is going to be our playmaker and our creator? we have nobody else now that Danny has gone and Ellis cannot do this on his own

Most likely a 14th position for us next season

It seems to be that Rangi holds all the cards if is transfer falls through he still has a backup plan 3 more lucrative years at Cas
