So from that one could assume it's a visa issue? That probably explains why it's taken so long then, if there is a case to answer. These things always take ages to sort out, as our problem with Weller Hauraki proved earlier this year.

Just been browsing on *witter...saw the hauraki comment so went onto his page, he also confirmed rangi aint back untill next thursday...

step up goldy!!!!

not sure what the heck is going on but ive just been told from someone who works opposite the club that rangi definatley got on the bus with the rest of the team to go to doncaster after lunch.

i reckon the club are loving this and it may well be taking the heat off the players and helping them relax in what otherwise must be a very intense week.

i guess we arnt going to know until sunday but we have gone from he`s in court wednesday then thursday those days come and pass and now its next week,he was flying out on monday,tuesday then wed night now today somebody must be p1ssing themselves at the club ive even heared from a player he hasnt got a visa to get back and thats the problem.

the onlything we havent had so far is an appeal from harry gration on look north appealing for his safe return to the club,if this is an elaberate joke we have fooled everyone including the national press.

Why dont you just ask DellHell am sure he will know!

As have one or two Cas fans who have publicly criticised the club on various internet forums...#

So you really think after the CC quarter final win Rangi Chase has out of the blue told his 'best mate' that he has a court case to answer and Weller has believed him?
I think not.

I personally believe that Rangi will play on Sunday and don't believe a word of these stories

I would have hoped that our club will have anticipated much the same in their preparations for the game?

Unless your give away post regarding them falling for it hook, line & sinker hasn't alerted B Mac to this sudden situation and had them re-thinking their game plans?

Personally speaking if Rangi doesn't play then i will not only be very surprised but also very disappointed at his absence as he is a truly gifted player, possibly this seasons most influential player thus far, and i for one hope that he plays

Asked the Weller himself " rangi wouldnt lie to me" was the response....So Weller is saying Rangi won't be back until next Thursday...you decide.

I see, so he didn't actually give you a straight answer, then!

Without him you're arrogant. With him you're still arrogant. Your only hope is fading fast.

Its obvious after seeing Hauraki twitter page that Chase won't be playing, they're best mates he must know.

TBH I don't know if my best mate's doing a Sunday shift this weekend.

But you'd know if he was going for a court appearance at the other side of the world.
