Quote: mr. chairman "Why would Rowly want him he had the best two half backs in the division '"
Agreed best two halfbacks in the division, the division we want to win promotion from. Ridy is excellent but is getting on & might not have the pace for SL & Ryan didn't perform particularly well in the Super 8s and has now stabbed the club in the back. Rangi is a proven quality halfback who's played at the highest levels in the game.
Quote: mr. chairman "any way fowls was told to play chase at warrington when he didn't want to .'"
It was a preseason friendly with unlimited interchanges & an infinite bench, why wouldn't he want to play Rangi? Normally does as most coaches do & play every fit player available. Would think any coach would want to see how his new half back gets on so as to work out how to fit him in the team.
Quote: mr. chairman " Chase messed up at Salford and created problems in the dressing rooms '"
So did Hock and Patterson, did Rowley not want them either? Certainly seemed to want Hock & has gotten the best out of him. Paul has a history of taking players who messed up at other clubs & getting the best out of them. Fax & Fev fans said Barlow be nothing but trouble & Rowly got him playing excellently. Why the sudden suggested change in attitude from Paul?
Quote: mr. chairman " he as issues that will take a long time to fix and personally I hope he gets better the club have helped him with these on a ongoing basis , he is in the right place at the moment '"
Agreed there but I very much doubt he's the only player with those issues, just in Rangi's case his issues have been made public.
Quote: mr. chairman "don't think paul would have said publicly that he didn't want him but derek did want him and got him and wanted him to play every game '"
Don't think for one second Derek would try to interfere with the coaching side, he's always said that was down to Paul, always said "I leave that side to Paul as at the end of the day its his job on the line & so it's only fair to let him live or die by his own sword." or words to that effect. See no reason he'd have a sudden change of philosophy. Star signing or not (& we've had a few star signings Derek wanted & got, did he insist Fui played every game or Hock or Higham?).
Quote: mr. chairman " sorry but the truth sometimes hurts '"
The truth also usually has some evidence to back it up.
Quote: mr. chairman " and the club will continue to be hurt until he goes sorry I'm saying what I feel I think it's called an opinion so no need to have a go at me '"
Fair enough, not having a go just disagreeing with you. Think he's an excellent player who's been playing very well up to now.
Quote: mr. chairman "He is a quality rugby player at times but great rugby players don't always have the right temperment I'm afraid rangi is one of them'"
They don't but a lot of the time temperament is down to the situation, look at Hock & all the other players we've got from Salford.
Sorry but I've seen a few rumours suggesting Paul's resignation was something to do with Rangi & I just don't buy it, don't think it makes any sense. It's no secret some people have a problem with Derek & it's no secret some people don't like Rangi. Think people have pulled a hypothesis from thin air to have a go at two people they don't like which just doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
