Well done to Rangi Chase.

Well done to Rangi. I was keeping my fingers crossed that Tomkins would stay behind him as I think Rangi deserves credit for the way in which he has led Cas throughout the season plus created some great play. That pass to the right while running to the left against KR at the weekend was absolutely brilliant.

Well done to Rangi. Thoroughly deserved.

He also features in the SL dream team for 2011.

Man of Steel next??

May be we should just change the name of this thread to the Rangi Chase Awards thread....

Unfortunately this time in second place but still highly ranked!!..... rlLinkyrl

Quick question for the regulars who see him week in week out.

Would you say hes consistantly a great player?
From what ive seen he tends to drift in and out of games rather then been a constent threat at every chance; and seems to disappear when it gets tough or you fall behind in a game (this may be due to the fact he is a marked man and gets to much pressure on him when you are on the back foot)

Just wonder what your thoughts are as you see him week in week out..

IMO It's very rare to see him 'disappear' in a game, If the pack are on top you really do notice him because he has the time and space to mesmerise the opposition and it shows really well on the TV.
Although when the pack aren't on top it's either, he's still trying and on occasion along with others too much and hence things don't come off, or we tend to play too much one man rugby so he doesn't tend to get the ball as much.

I think the start of the season showed Rangi in the former during the time when we had our pack was at full strength, once the pack was decimated we weren't on top as much so he didn't have the time or ball as much.

well done rangi .glad you won this special medal.

Well done Rangi

The few times I've seen Cas this season he's struck me as a showboater who looks flash when his teams on top but, when his teams struggling, becomes anonymous. On the other hand, Danny Orr, although not flash, contributes much more to the team.

The highlighted phrase says it all, really. Come back when you know something.

Or when you know how to highlight something properly! Tip - it should make it stand out. I've probably forgotten more than you'll ever know, and still know more than you!

Or maybe not.

Why not just buy a better monitor/graphics card? Those old black-and-white portable TVs just don't cut the mustard these days.
