Cas will be fine without chase. We have ben johnson to step in when he goes whos been training and learning from chase the last 2 years.cas have won matches without chase in the team when he was banned. Hes a good player but life will go on without him and the money raised will be gladly received.stillreckon our gates next year will be better than the new salford superstar team.

Not if your rock bottom of the table getting 40/50+ put on you every week like us this year.

errr didnt you notice how we went last season and still topped your crowds at your shiny new library

Now try 30 years of that come back and boast about your support being good.

Not relevant to the fascinating "He's signing", "No he isn't", "Yes he is and our club's bigger than your club", "No he isn't and no it isn't" that this forum's been full of recently, but it would appear that Rangi Chase had an on-field punch-up with team mate Keith Mason in their defeat to Saints today.

Mason apparently threw the first punch?

Wouldn't surprise me, absolute tool.

Are you asking me or telling me? If you're asking me, then I don't know, but it seems likely since it appears Mason was substituted immediately after.

Perhaps things aren't all smiley and happy at the Jungle. I'm sure someone from Castleford will soon be along to tell us all about it, because they seem to like being on here.

A few defeats at the start of this season and you were only scraping 3000. Nothing really to shout about.

There is a poster on the Casforum who suggests Cas haven't accepted a deal for Chase, They are connected to the club - The offer is there though.

I spoke to Daryl Powell yesterday, And while I was talking to him, Someone asked about Chase leaving his response was, "Look, I honestly don't know whats gonna happen" - Its up to Chase.

What I will say, Is Rangi Chase as like every other game since Daryl took over, Showed no signs of wanting to leave the club yesterday, Reacted everytime the fans shouted his name and tried to encourage them as well. He loves it at Cas.... but money talks, We know his agent is trying to pursuade him to take the money on offer.

As for the bust up, It was more a case of Handbags, Embarassing to see, Mason seemed to have a go at Chase for not feeding him (He gave it to Tansey who threw an intercept ball) - And Chase wasn't happy that he didn't run the right line for it. Powell played it down to me, Saying he hadn't really spoke to Mason, But he did drag him straight off the field, And he didn't come back on.

We have no game for 2 weeks, I would guess if no deal is announced by then. Rangi will be staying at Cas, but the talk with our fans, Is they expect him to leave this week.

No disrespect intended, but you have made it clear that you havent got a clue what's going on but then state you do know his agent is trying to persuade him (like he needs persuading). How?

It's well known that Chase will probably become one of, if not the highest paid player in Super League should he join Salford, a salary that would compliment his status as probably the second best player in the competition behind Sam Tomkins. In comparison to Castelford, we are also highly ambitious due to our wealthy owner and I think that in addition to the salary increase that is what appeals to Rangi. A player of his ability should be taking part in the play-offs year on year and reaching semi finals and finals of major competitions on an annual basis, there is much more chance of that happening with Salford over the next 4/5 years than at Castleford.

He is already in the top 3 earners in the league, Its not like he is on a pittence, He is on about 180k a year, Thats plenty.

A stumbling block is his wife, She doesn't want to move, And it was said she has told him he has to commute if he wants to move - Not sure if this is accurate. It could be a ploy to eek a bit more money out of Cas. All I know is what I see, Anyone who saw Rangi over the last about 10 weeks (When we went to Leeds away, And he was supposedly signing for St George all week - My mate a Rhino's fan said "He certainly doesn't act like he wants to leave Cas, He seems to love you lot"icon_wink.gif - Thats still the impression we get.

And, I wouldn't kid yourselves about reaching finals, You are a long way off that yet.

As I say, We will see what happens, We think the deal will go through, But what has been said is Cas haven't agreed the terms, More likely we have allowed you to speak to him/ His agent. And then we will leave the decision up to you, He won't be leaving on the cheap. Thats for sure.

Seems to me there are far too many 'experts' knowing far too much about peoples private lives.

rlAnd Making It Publicrl

Wot I wanna know is - What does he think of coaches Hay and Donlan and do I blame them for the increase in forward passes - Those given by Alibert and those screamed for by the cloned Bradford fans yesterday ?

On top of all that - he doesn't drive. So unless he either moves to the Manchester area (highly unlikely) he will be getting a lift. His cousin Weller might play chauffeur maybe ?

And? Castleford is only 45/50 mins away Salford can give him a driver who'll pick him up and drop him off.
