Yet has still set up more tries then anyone else in the league.

Oh no don't say Gronk (the mod) is wrong yet again. You would think he would have learnt by now but obviously not. Radio Leeds reported he said he would be mad not to be interested in going to Wigan. Deal to be announced within a month. Must feel embarrassed to be wrong more times then anyone else in the history of RL fans. oh well not to worry at least you have Peter Gentle. Oh wait

get off our forum

Yes he said that when a reporter asked him about the rumour, he also said he'd never heard it before.



Off topic, nothing to do with the thread.

take the money, make some profit, and buy a 'team' player. Rangi has not been the same player for you guy's in 2012.

Happily take £500k for Chase. And I would hope Cas hold out for that much. Will be interesting to see if anybody offers the same contract as he's on at the minute. I also think Hull would be a better fit for Chase. I don't think he'd be the main man it Wigan which he craves. At Hull he'd have a big pack to play behind and would still be the main man

You have hit the nail on the head pal

I fully expect an official announcement from the club stating Chase is going nowhere and offers aren't welcome. Whether that puts a pin in this rumour or ups the offer who knows. I can see Chase playing in a Cas shirt for at least another season.

They will but he wont he see his contract out, hes now ben rumbled.

CT will cash-in on him and they would be daft not to if the figures mentioned on here are anything to go by.

unfortunately cas saw this coming and did the smart thing by making him sign a lengthy contract (better than letting him go for free) at least make some money put it towards a new stadium etc

I think you are right - and fortunately for us - we did see it coming and many posters on here predicted this in September last year when he re-negotiated his contract and added another couple of years onto it.

We couldn't make him sign but I get your drift. I have often suggested here, and on other forums that Chase signed an extension not in the certainty that he would see it through but in the expectation that the club would reap some benefit from his eventual departure. If that is the case it could be argued that in the interests of CT he effectively condemned himself to what we all suspected would be another fruitless season. We should thank our lucky stars for Rangi Chase as a player and as a man...the club has been, and will be, far richer for having him.

If he had said he had no interest in playing for a club like Wigan he would stand accused of lying and I've no reason to believe he has been any less honest when declaring his love for our club. But no-one should expect that love to blind him to where his future and that of his family might be better served.

Hopefully if you get some good news on the Stadium issue this may either persuade him to stay or if he does go replacement with someone of quality will be easier. As you know at the moment it's hard to get decent players to clubs with clouds still hanging over them. Hopefully brighter times for both clubs.

And I agreed with you at the time.

If I were Roger, I'd have agreed to sign that contract extension knowing full well that it wouldn't be enforced, on the proviso that I got 10% of the subsequent sale price.
