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.

Sorry but Chase has not been worth his wage and transfer fee, the odd fancy Dan pass or shimmy isn't good enough.

I agree, it's been a pleasure to say I've seen some of his finest moments of magic whilst in the Salford shirt, but it's time to get rid.
Him and Hauraki are probably the last 2 loose cannons to go, then bringing in the academy players plus the few signings should at least steady the ship.
Not expecting miracles next season just sound stability and progress.

I thought Hauraki was staying?

I was unsure of him coming, if Paterson is going and there's no wonder NRL player coming I'd keep him at #13.

Hauraki said today he will still be at Salford next year. Be about 8 weeks til he's over his injury though

Yeh I wasn't meaning he was going, more inferring they are the last two "loose cannons" left in the squad.
Although I do like Huaraki and what he brings to the side but again he's very unpredictable and can miss a large proportion of games through suspensions.

I think he’s been worth it. Disappointed that we haven’t seen more of him, and how it’s ended, but he goes in the Shaw, Baker class of phenomenal memories that will last a lifetime.

Did chase count on overseas quota?

He was a non-fed trained player, and because he comes from a Kolpak country didn't count on the overseas quota.

So he would free-up a non-fed trained spot.

Whilst he has been entertaining the number of missed games and his attitude mean I'm unconcerned about him leaving. I'm sure we can find a player with a better attitude and that may impact on how the squad perform. I do worry about chase long term though, he seems a little fragile mentally.

I quite agree.
Talk about him being a Salford recent great are ludicrous.
Dan Holdsworth contributed more overall

Some people are self-destructive. Looking at the hard times he endured growing-up, finding RL fame quite young, moving across the globe and all the things we don't know about seem to contribute to his baggage. A lot of very talented people in any number of areas, be it regular jobs, sports people, or academics can be very difficult people. It seems to go with the label that these people get of being 'special' or unique in their fields. I think it requires a special breed of manager or boss to juggle these type of people into viable roles in their organisations.

I don't wish anything bad on the fella, and hope he finds some security for himself and family, and I'll be thankful that I saw him play for us but wont be shedding any tears when he officially goes.

Personally not really bothered about any of them they can almost all go as far as I'm concerned, whilst chase was sometimes brilliant he was also a liability and part of this superstar team that landed us second bottom of the league, unable to even get four home games and getting destroyed by the might of Bradford with Sheffield and Halifax also managing cricket type scores against there superior opposition.

On the plus side for Chase going by past Salford players and coaches they usually "Get Well" after they have been paid off and relieved of there Salford duties.

Watching a few games on YouTube from this season it's a shame he wants to leave especially when you see him patting the badge on his chest when he scored. We clearly did miss him during his harsh 7 match ban which caused us to miss out on the play offs. To be going Leigh though is a big step down for him.
