l'd be very suprised if we signed anyone else for 2012 tbh.

Chase is very good but O'Brien is also a real talent.

I'm happy with our 2012 line up, but Kingy leaving leaves a hole that we can't fill.

Surely Kings 'spot' (ok not ability) will be replaced by either Ratchford (centre) or Riley (wing)?

Riley (i hope not) but i highly believe will be wearing black and white with the demics next year

dont understand the people saying we should be signing a better player to replace briers, simple fact.. there is nobody better than rangi chase that we would be able to bring in. FACT! he offers that x factor in his play similar to tomkins , and all of his play has been behind a castleford pack which this season has been mostly injured. we havent really got room for him atm because it would be harsh to play myler or chase out of position but i would be ecstatic if we were to sign chase and would understand if we were to loan him back to castleford. put it one way i would not want to be playing against a wigan team with him in it.

i'd say benji marshall is better than him

so would i but we will unfortunately never see him in the P&B.

yeah i never thought i'd see alan langer or joey johns in a wire shirt either.

we have to be realistic though , and rangi chase especially under tony smiths coaching would be a great addition and hes already proven in super league i'd be more than happy with him as a replacement for briers but we probably do have to move fast to secure him.

i am being realistic, we've potentially got the money to put a decent bid in for him, we're a team on the up, in need of a stand off at some point, and we've got high level players going back to the nrl speaking very very highly of us.

No one in super league will anymore, realistically. The rising cap over there means that not only will the squads get bigger but the true superstars will be able to earn the amount of money to stop them going elsewhere, whether it be here, Aussie Rules or Union.

i'd forgotten about that,

Chase as picked up the Albert goldthorpe medal,.

Doesn't really mean that much. Cas as a club only got 71 points over the season and Chase got 40 of them. Brett Hodgson was our highest Goldthorpe scorer and he hasn't been our best player. In fact our best player isn't even in the top 10.

I like riley. Will be well disappointed if he is at widnes next year.

Be a bit miffed if we have signed chase too. Don't need him and most likely can't afford him!

We're realistically probably the only club who can afford him.
