Chase has been releasedb y west wales but sounds like he's going to Rochdale. Wales want a transfer fee and can't see us paying one. York have taken Ellis from Leigh and someone else ( name escapes me) from Featherstone so cant see them needing anymore halves. Usual ITK suspect is saying its a SL player we're in for so suspect Keyes or Mclleland are most likely targets.

The trouble with 'season long loans' is that the 'season long' bit rather depends on the actual deal. Often that means that, even with the best of initial intentions, after the first month the player will be available for re-call.

I do agree about Lilley. IF it were to be Chase they would not be the ideal match for my money. I guess we just have to depend on JK, he's forgotten more than I'll ever know.

I like has the ability to still do plenty of running as well as kicking if we brought a player like Chase in. The problem we had against Fev is that Lilley was having to do everything. There was an attacking set where Pickersgill didn't even touch the ball and then his attacking threat was also missing from FB.

Anyway it doesn't look like Chase is coming.

Apparently Hudds want Olly Russell loaned out somewhere for a few weeks but are waiting on injuries to Cogger and how Sezer is after not training, could be getting him.

problem is a short term loan doesnt really help us. you cant get any consistency changing your halves every few weeks. Whoever we get needs so be either a season long loan =, with no recall option, or a actual signing IMO. Apparently we have someone lined up and will be announced early this week.

agree with all of the above and said before about the downfall of short term loans ... such a pivotal position we need a signing or a season long loan end of. Broughy has bossed it and we wont see him again for 3 months (which could be never this season or at the business end)

Chase played for Cas PDRL yesterday and was a total bellend. Smashing folk off ball. Lets not touch this tool with a ty 10 foot barge pole.

On his day, Chase is unplayable. Those days were nearly a decade ago. He also comes with far too much baggage. No thanks.

It's a definite no to Chase from me too. Hopefully we'll be announcing somebody else very soon.

Chase signed for Rochdale.

I dont believe he was ever really an option.

I saw the video footage of the incident you’re talking about. He shoulder charged a lad with Down syndrome leaving him on the floor injured. Scumbag.

Don’t ever hear much these days on injury updates what the hell has happened to Matty Dawson

Its one of my pet peeves with the back office.
It wouldnt take much to publish an article every couple of weeks titled 'Casualty Ward'. Post a bit of an update how the injuries are looking, updates on how the rehab is going with the lads who have long term injuries etc.

Havnt heard a single thing about Nzongu since his injury and very little (if anything) on MDJ.

Levy's out for several months I think. Agree it would be good to get some updates.
