That's what worries me, if there is a court case and it is at the end of the week. We need to have a fully fit Rangi Chase firing on all cylinders next Sunday.

There is no way to tell until it happens though, if it was an early week appearance I imagine the Tigers would want him out there and rested already.

I suppose in the end if he don't turn up what are they going to do? Start extradition proceedings?

Does Sydney not have lists of court hearings?

I've not seen any evidence to support The Sun's article yet other than forum postings. So at the moment, in my belief, I'm in the 'I'll believe it when I see it/hear it' camp

Can't see it on Google, but then they may not publish them. Or only publish high profile ones.

Shenton accepted less money at St Helens than Cas offered him to stay - decided to go to a side that were competing to win trophies and had a brand spanking new stadium on the horizon. As a Saints player no-one bats an eyelid if he's selected for the national side whereas whilst at Cas he knew he'd have to prove himself that extra bit more to get selected.

Whilstever we continue to play out of the dilapidated old ground we'll never generate the income to compete at the top table, which is the REAL reason why we need to get the new ground built and not simply to 'tick a box' for the purpose of the franchises. The same applies to Wakefield....

Although we didn't technically sell him, Michael Platt went for a fee to Bradford if I remember rightly. Didn't we insert a clause in his contract?

Apart from Dee Hell's normal psspoor trolling, this whole thread is based on an article in the Sun, sister paper of the News of the World, wtf?

Something to do with him being under a certain age meant that we could get a transfer fee. It was only about £10k though wasn't it?

wnf is correct. The £10k figure was set by tribunal as the Bulls disputed the need for a fee, believing relegation to have rendered his contract to be invalid. A smart move from RW that one.

Players like Rangi Chase are made for the big occasion (Danny Brough in the NL1 grand final anyone?) so if he is denied the chance to do what he does best against the biggest club in Yorkshire in Castleford Tigers biggest chance in a decade at the CC final then there is no justice.
Still no news from the club website which makes me think there are a few mind games going on here or at least I hope thats all it is!
IMO Chase will start against Leeds.
