Oh aye mate, there's hundreds of us in the know here. We were all going to keep quiet, but since you've asked...

According to the Daily Mirror, the disciplinary meeting has been postponed as he is unwell; a normal procedure in any meeting/tribunal/etc. He is on sick leave at the moment: how this is affected by/effects the suspension is answered by the HR policies within the club (and national legisilation).

In summary, and from what people on here have been posting, we need to back off and hope the help is available, the player gets support, and the matter of his missing training is considered appropriately. From the same Mirror story, it seems there have been comments on some media that have been obstructive or critical and upset a person who is going through a bad patch. Insensitive or ignorant perosns I cannot tell: but now we are aware of the matter, let's await developments supporting both the club and the individual as proper supporters.

I`m all for supporting a player who needs support etc, but when someone is on sick leave, does that mean he is banned from using the clubs facilities including training. We all know he is an exceptional player and just when you need him most in the next two vital games, the club are not calling on his services.
This appears to be more than just `him missing a training session` and the club need to keep the fans more informed.
I believe he wants to return, but the club are not letting him.
If we lose to Widnes and Hull KR and I believe we will and Wakefield win, then Iv`e no doubt we will be in million pound game due to an inferior points difference.
With all the previous goings on at the club, just maybe, some stability is required with our best performing players available.
I have also heard that HH to Leigh is a done deal....anyone with any updates on that score?

Told HH signed for Leigh on Monday, along with Reni Maitua and of course Cory Paterson. I'm not sure I believe it although I have no reason to discredit the person who told me. I just cant understand how Leigh will fit all of the above, as well as Hock, Moi Moi and Higham on their salary cap. We paid a fee for Hansen too and he still has years left to go so you would think we're in line for either a transfer fee or a player exchange at least. That said, the club may just want rid of anyone they consider to be a distraction in the changing room.

deja vu, but on this occasion we are seeing fans willing to show/offer support to the player in question..

There you go - Leigh are planning on taking on the RFL & SL and not bothering with a cap next year....

It seems that MK has served his time as RL novelty CEO Jester and is handing the reins to Beaumont for next season. If anything, it keeps the lazy media stuffed full of tittle-tattle rather than searching for it in the bins outside the AJ Bell...

There we go then, explains things. Leigh favourites to sign Rangi too!

Don't worry about the cap, your Chairman obviously isn't.

Now I'm not one for jumping to conclusions and I'm not saying the individual isn't genuinely ill in some way or form, if it is genuine then I have every sympathy and wish them a speedy recovery.
If such individual is then the club has a duty of care to support the player and assist in any way they can...which I believe our chairman has stated on record the club have (if that counts for much) and Gareth Carvel is our player welfare support officer.
But the synic in my thinks is this leading down another route for justification to terminate a contract in the form of a resignation, along the lines of the club isn't providing that duty of care?
I may be out of order and way off the mark but with all the recent goings on its left a bad taste in my mouth.

With regards for players signing for another club next year both Chase and HH have a year left to run on their current contracts so if they have I'm presuming a fee has been agreed between the two clubs???

What a crowd we picked, who advised putting all these in the same team, putting these in the big brother house would be a master stroke for channel 5.
Funny how you never hear the steady players complaining the likes of Lee, the Griffins, Moz, etc they just get on with it.

Hope Sheens has a good recruitment drive once SL survival is secured and brings in solid steady football players to bring some consistency and stability to the club.
Good to also see academy lads being given fultime contracts for next year.

With Locke and Smith both suspended by the club this weekend pending an internal enquiry, Halifax may well do us a big favour!

Have Leigh RLC not paid any attention to the weekly turmoil soap opera that is Salford Red Devils?

I hope to high heaven you're not right about Chase maybe feigning his issues, I first hand experience of mental health issues with a family member and it would be a new all time low for RL if this was the case. I somehow doubt it but your point makes some sense.

Couldn't agree more about Lee, Moz, The Griffins and I'd throw in Sa'u how just appears to get on with life.

As for this weekend I shall be an honoury Halifax and Leigh (though I don't want them to progress to SL) supporter.

So the docs just tweeted that Rangi asked to leave in June and for his services to the club they said he could go on a free.
Kind of explains why he's been contacting other clubs, does that mean no one else wants him.
Very good majestic player as we are all well aware, but look how Cas have moved on as a club and become more structured.
