| I have very mixed views.
Firstly, I think it needs to be said that the person doing most of the chasing in this scenario was Rangi Chase's agent. Through June and July he was offered to almost every SL club but all declined for various reasons. With Rangi wanting to stay in England, his options were very limited and Leigh was the best of very few options for him.
Havi said that, I really hope it works out for him. I loved watching him at Cas and his decision to move to a club run by an absolute imbecile and coached by someone completely out of their depth was a bad one, even if his bank balance says otherwise.
Unfortunately, Rangi always seems to be one of those who always thinks the grass is greener somewhere else very quickly and is perpetually looking for his next move. If he plays well, I fear it will be a short matter of time before he starts to think he wants to play at the top level again. I hope Leigh fans are clear that the man has no loyalty toward anyone.

| I'm doubting there was any "Chase for Rangi", but it's very sad to see such a talented player now in the second tier of the game in this hemisphere. People pointing the finger at Salford are clearly wrong, this has everything to do with a young man with a lot of money letting it go to his head - I'm sure the circus surrounding Salford didn't help, and I wonder if he got the support he needed (and probably would have received if he'd have stayed at Cas).
Either way, I hope he turns it around at Leigh. Nobody can doubt the guy's natural ability, if Leigh can manage him to make the most of that and keep his mind on the field, they will have got an outstanding player. It kinda reminds me of when Danny Brough was in the Championship with Cas - that seemed to get him his confidence back and now he's one of the best halves in SL. Hopefully Chase can do something similar.

| Brough signed for Cas in 2006 when we were in super league and he was 23. Rangi is 29 and has choose to drop down a league. Wouldn't say they're too familiar at all. Think brough wasn't first choice at Hull and was a young half. Rangi has always been first choice whilst in England and has probably played his best rugby. Broughs best days were ahead of him, rangi's were 4 years ago.

Great post, im glad one Cas fan knows Broughy played in the Championship for them..
As for up and coming a year earlier he had won the cup for Hull FC, there are many great comparisons above on why dropping down a division was good for Danny and can be for Rangi.

I would love to receive the benefit of your wisdom.

You could just continue to Troll the site, posting your ill informed & ill considered narratives on Leigh RL & Leigh fans in your quest to appear superior on the internet.
Now run along, there's a good boy.
Take a look at his profile & all becomes clear.
Why would anyone value the opinion of someone with a profile like that.
Now go see if you can borrow the family brain cell for the day.
While I am on, you are a supporter of which RL Club ?Â
Just out of interest."
Not a mention of Chase, no wonder the Leigh page attracts such derision, fortunately he isn't your typical Leigh fan.
You should be promoted..You deserve it Reffy..
