Before Castleford signed Rangi Chase from St,George, had you ever heard of him?, he was a total unknown, on the fringes of the NRL, not getting into the first team, then Cas took the punt & signed this unknown lad, who has played the best part of his carrier for Cas.
At Cas he has learnt his trade & turned into one of the hottest properties in our game, who knows Cas might invest in a new unknown youngster who does the job for us, only time will tell, but if Noble wants Chase to play to a structured game plan, he wont be getting the same player who's Maverick style makes him the great player he is.

I agree.

As a Salford fan, I've got to have faith that Noble knows what he's doing by going for him.

Come on, he was hardly 'Neville Nobody' when you guys signed him. He may have had baggage but people were aware of his talent. He already had 30-odd NRL games under his belt.

Fair play to Cas for having the foresight to pick him up but let's not mythologise too much.

let's find a happy medium then, he was a fringe player and St George wouldn't have sold him to cas if they were aware of his talent.

Noble for me isn't a superb coach - he certainly isn't getting much out of your players at the moment (though that may be for a number of other reasons)

it'll be interesting

Wayne Bennett couldn't get anything out if most of the players we have now! The fact is that the team Salford have now bar about 5 players is made up if either last years fringe players or last years academy, like they say you can't polish a turd, but put a solid silver jug in front of Noble and ill thing he'll shine it up quite well.

Robbie Burrow would be a good signing for you lot.
And can cover SH and Hooker.

That can be said of many players for instance we signed a forth choice Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs half back called Daniel Holdsworth little was known of him and the Dogs fans wern't bothered when Salford came calling. Look at him now on his way to Wembley with Hull FC with Wiggy and Baldy waxing lyrical about him constantly as though he was the Messiah. Not to mention Joel Moon who then coach Matt Parish brought with him.

I was just pointing out to one of your fellow fans. the butcher posted you cant get like for like! as I said he was a fringe player, who was going to be released by his former club & only Cas going in for him, if he was showing so much ability, why didn't anyone over hear go for him, rather than Cas having a punt on him, if he is signing for your lot I hope he does well, but not when he plays against us on them occasions I hope he has a stinker.

Looks like we are getting Marc Sneyd prabably for a season long loan as part of the Chase deal:- www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/ru ... -1-5941200 Bad bit of business here IMO. Sneyd doesn't want to leave Salford apparently so there is only one winner with this deal. When will we ever learn ?

This ^^^^

We have really had our pants pulled down with this deal and it really has got me feeling like what's the point and am seriously considering not renewing my season ticket and just going to a few games through the season (which never felt like before !!!!). Selling our best player for a pittance plus a player who doesn't want to be here on loan isn't the best way to sell season tickets and get people excited over the club..... Disgrace

How do you know what the deal is? Press operate on speculating

What I've heard asnt come from the press.
Its come from an explayer who as spoken to a coach (not noble) at Salford.

Rumour on the Salford board that the Sneyd deal has nothing to do with the Chase one. Maybe there's a hint of truth somewhere among all the various forms of the same rumour?
