He was a very famous Clown.

But they don't have anyone on the same money as Chase either (apart from Tomkins but as he plays for Wigan some of his wage is not counted!).
I'm not saying it won't happen, but that there are lots of issues and barriers to be overcome.

That famous I've never heard of him.

On the subject at hand I'd suspect deep down the Cas board want to make the most they can from a very valuable asset while they are able. They can keep hom on the books for a further two years and watch him walk into most NRL teams scott free and they make nothing. I seriously think there is lots of sable rattling for the benefit of the fans (quite rightly I might add) when the Cas board knows that the Doc will go in with another offer and then another until it gets too much for them to say no too.

i still also say that I'd think there is offers of players + cash that would help both teams out.

This ^^^

Put your banker hat back on and look at this:

If you know that the person with the overdraft has an asset that is making money and is making it easier for them to meet their obligations then surely you'll want that club to retain that asset as long as possible to generate as much as possible.

The figure of £60k (if true) is scandalous and I'd tell Koukash to stick it and come back when he's willing to multiply it at least another 4 times minimum. We sold Westerman for £175k and Chase is a much more significant player.

Cas know that Salford claim to have the dosh so they can keep holding out. If the good Doc wants to go elsewhere then ta-ra. However, if he really wants Rangi it's time to put up and shut up. He went for Dobson first so I wonder if he may try his look on someone else first like Tim Smith or Danny Brough.

We have absolutely no reason to sell and our commercial staff are doing a grand job now to raise our income and we're on the way to making ourselves self-sufficient. People saying £100k are having delusions of grandeur. That would be peanuts for a player of his calibre and there's no reason Cas would sell.

Can anyone point a link to this 60k offer? Reading back a few pages suggests the figure was just made up by a Salford poster as a bit of a windup.

I think Cas fans think they have a more valuable asset than they actually have. I think he will end up going for about 150k, I don't see how he can be valued at anywhere from 250k to 350k,we are not talking about Benji Marshall.Granted he can be exceptional in games,he can also pass to the linesman in games as well,not to mention his tendency for the odd shoulder into opposing players head.

I think the Dr is in a very good position at the moment,put a low ish offer in to test the water

Perhaps you should do your own research and realise that we do not owe money to outside companies. HMRC payments are up to date. The money that we owe is to our owner, Jack Fulton, who has loaned us money.

We pay our bills when they come. We don't spend it on things like players we can't afford. We have no need to sell the ground.

Fully - So Mr Fulton is not a creditor then? Has he transferred his loan into a gift? If so then Cas are solvent. If not then Cas are insolvent. Mr Fulton is no longer a young man so I would be surprised if the club hasnt made provisions as his family may just not be so philanthropic.

Dont talk about paying their bills. They will come out in a rash . Maybe the doc should concentrate on paying Salfords debts before buying any mpre players. Cue the " its a new company" scoundrels mantra

It's a new company

If the transfer happens I think Cas fans will owe the good doctor a huge debt of gratitude. Had Chase gone to St George a few months ago they would have received pittance for him and not had him for the remainder of this year. It's a win win for them.

I've heard Hull have agreed a fee with cas for chase. Maybe the holdsworth to Salford rumours have some substance
