Nothing to do with him playing for Cas on my part fella. I also supported the selection of Heighington, Reed and if he wanted, Daly Cherry-Evans. Go see on the VT if you don't believe me.

I have no problem with players playing for England if they're good enough and better than what we have. If we have a dearth of players and we're selecting them for selecting sake then that's where I draw the line.

Utter tripe.

Just like the majority of Cas fans with their newfound spirit of cosmopolitan social inclusion, your largesse in respect of national identity is based on the fact that international nomad Rangi Chase, for now at least, plays for Cas. And that's a Fully style [sizeFACT[/size, delivered with Gronkesque levels of self assurance.

1. How the hell aren't you banned yet?
2. I don't care where someone was born, if they're good enough and the qualify pick them - always thought it and think the football team should do it too.



Like:

Tonie Carroll, Tony Williams, Karmichael Hunt, Akuila Uate, Michael Jennings, Petero Civoniceva, Willie Tonga, Willie Mason etc?

Sorry but he is a great player but will never be english in my eyes and many others also.Not his fault that the rfl allow this stupid rule bending and it just makes a joke outta the international team.
I would rather us lose with proper english players than with these fake ones.
Bit like Danny B,i supose Cas fans support him playing for England also eh?

1. So in your eyes anyone who wasn't born in the country can NEVER be British even if they had all the appropriate paper work and lived & worked here for most of their working life?

2. I'll support anyone good enough who qualifies to play - I'd love England to have a Chase/Dobson half back combo because that is the best combo available.

Well England Kingston Rovers would attract less than it already does if we fill it with Aussies and Kiwis who weren't good enough for their actual nation.

Bren.

You're talking tripe.

Go read my posts on the VT before commenting. If not, don't comment.

Just for Bren (and the others) because I know he wouldn't go and do some research

That was posted on 2nd Oct.

Chase announced his switch on 3rd.

Go figure - like I say, I support improving our squad regardless of nationality, as long as they haven't played for another country before or we have a dearth of players in line better than them and there's no need for them to be there.

An international nomad who has played for just one recognised full international team? Hardly nomadic is it?

First rule of being bigoted - don't let any facts get in the way of a good rant!

You know as well as I do that if the Kiwi's would have had him, he'd have played for them; as he said not long ago, it was his boyhood dream. Funny how he only started supping pints of bitter in a Union Jack waistcoat AFTER his country of origin overlooked him again, don't you think?

His selection is a joke to just about everyone outside of Cas and if he hadn't been a Cas player, it would have been a joke to most of you too; not Fully of course, who can prove his credentials by quoting his own posts on an internet message board.

Yep...didn't Chase declare for England BEFORE the Kiwi squad was announced?

Not really. It would be hypocritical of me to criticise Rangi's selection having wholeheartedly followed the England Cricket team for years and put my support behind all the guys, whether born in England or not. It also seems a touch hypocritical to support a host of players in a team called Castleford Tigers who don't have a birth or residency qualification to represent the town.

Still, you obviously know best, and speak for "just about everyone" too. What it must be to have been in communication with so many of the World's population.

There are plenty of wakefield fans slating him as a player, his nationality is another issue.

Can anyone tell me now that he's qualified through residency and now he's actually played for England does he actually need a visa to play anymore?
