Pledges to england.

I officially give up!!!

What a load of %$^$^^&^ Matt King and Michael Monners are English too What a f....g joke

PMSL

Rangi Chase is a classy player but our international game is becoming even more laughable than it already was.

This will probably mean that either Gaskell or Lomax will be denied a chance to represent their country ahead of a kiwi.

Monas and Roby in the same team!

Now that he's english through and through does this mean he's a non quota player from now on ?

Absolute loving joke

Heighington yes ok but Chase? nah sorry HE'S A KIWI!

No brainer from Chase. He will get the chance to play against the best in the world for England RL, little chance of him appearing in the All Blacks shirt any time soon.

Don't understand all this hate though, the guy has emigratted in order to fulfill his dream of playing full time rugby league. It just so happens that he has done particularly well in this country, and has even chosen to stay for at least 4 more years, he would have been here 7 years by the time his contract is up.

Essentially, this is a guy who was born elsewhere, but has made his living in England.

He's the complete opposite to Reed and Widdop who happend to be born here but have offered nothing to super league due to them forging a career in the NRL. No uproar when they chose England.

I have more of a problem with some guy in the NRL who's Granadad had a Guiness once choosing Ireland, than someone who's career has been mainly based over here representing our country, Chase has only added to Super League in my opinion.

Good luck to him

So the England v Exiles is a game in which we find out our best 13 for the 4 nations?

Representing England should be nothing to do with where you make your living or what you have offered to Super League. The whole point of international competition is about people from one country taking on people from another. Chase isn't English and has played for New Zealand Maori and trained with the New Zealand squad. If he isn't good enough to play for New Zealand, then it's tough luck on his part.

Will he be off quota when we sign him now?

I don't see a problem with this. The Aussies have been doing it for years with South Sea Islanders, no-one has complained about that. The England Cricket team has more South Africans in it than Englishmen, and England RU are currently playing Kiwis, South Africans, and a Samoan whose brother is currently playing for Samoa. If he qualifies, play him.

four wrongs don't make a right.

There's more than four. He qualifies so it can't be wrong. Play him if he's fully committed.

It's in the rules for MP's to make ridiculous claims on their expenses. It doesn't however make it right.

I'd rather see an English player picked and if they weren't as good as Chase, so be it.
