Come again?

You're not a regular on the VT, are you?

In all seriousness, if he keeps his head screwed on, and those swinging arms away, what a formidable set of halves Cas will have.

The faux-Frenchman is the only poster on my 'ignore' list - I assume he still insists on using formal given names!

How does he keep getting these contracts and when will clubs learn?

I could understand a deal to the end of the year, but what has he done in the last few years to earn a long deal like that?

Two years isn't a long deal.
He wants to come back to Cas and won't be earning anywhere near the money he was on previously.

Sometimes you just get something that works. Tim Smith at Wakey. Rangi at Cas unfortunately.

It is, if you need to get rid, and although it won't be as much as before he will still command a high salary.

The ball was in Cas court, so no need to offer him that length of deal.

Cas just don't want to be in the same situation as this year where they lost Roberts and Dorn and have had to rely on players out of position because Hampshire is a complete waste of a squad spot.

Chase & Roberts can both play FB or in the halves so it's just a bit more depth. Would trust either of them more than Greg Eden at FB, too.

It might be an initial deal until the end of the season with options to extend, or Cas might have put certain clauses in the contract. Not as black and white as "here you go, there's a two year contract with the same salary as before".

I'd hope they have a few clauses in there.

They should be trying to pursuade Dorn to stay another year, what a great player.

I almost forgot about Chase's existence to be honest haha

Nevertheless, if he brings all the talent we know he has then cas have got themselves a great player.

When he was 'English' he was called Roger by his team mates

Powelly has tried persuading dorn to stay. He wants to retire and walk away whilst he still can and go back to Oz with his family. In the last 18 months he had a bad facial injury and a 3 month hammy injury. I see logic in him calling it a day.

That's fair enough, what s great player he has been.

Chase deal announced, looks a better deal for Cas than the one rumoured, gives the club a get out clause and Chase an incentive.
