Ok, let's re-word it again to cover the 'signing' of pre-contract contracts The RFL probably have a problem registering a player with two clubs (don't mention dual reg).

Rangi signed for Leigh weeks ago as I previously mentioned (I think it was the day of the Bradford game, when he was a p*ssed up guest of Beaumonts), he just hasn't been registered to the RFL as a Leigh player as they're not allowing this happen at the moment. Until Derek can either get an increase in the cap, or come up with another way of fitting him under the cap (it isn't difficult) then he wont be registered nor announced.

Is that the reason why Barlow was offered to Salford?

Right, here's my twopenneth

Chase only cares about number 1, always has always will.

I reckon he has an agreement that he will join Leigh if it can be made possible.

I also think if something else comes along meanwhile then he will go back on his "agreement" and be off like a shot.

Money talks in most people's world and I suspect most certainly does in Chases world.

This is why I'd prefer him not to become a Leigh player however, he would still get my distant support if he did come to Leigh until the point came where I could say "told you so"

All this is of course my opinion based on what I know of Chase whilst he has played in this country.

By the way I find it hard to forgive someone who recklessly aims to hurt his fellow players (Tangi Ropatis jaw, Brett Ferries ligaments to name just Two cowardly acts)

Oh and before anyone else says I still haven't forgiven Gareth Hock for some of his previous dismonemeours........ but he is getting there with his actions to date playing For Leigh.

Rangi no doubt has had a chequered past,I would think every player at some point is money motivated because it's such a short career for them I don't blame Rangi one bit for wanting to get as much as he can for himself and his family.Personally I can't see him coming to Leigh for this to happen we would have to unload around 3 or 4 players and it's easier said than done as nearly all our players are under contract and would want compensation to leave.
Whatever folk think of Rangi , Hock or anyone else for that matter once a player dons a Leigh shirt then I support him,Gareth Hock for me has been a good signing ,I personally can't wait for his book to be released .

If Chase is not playing for Leigh,your club has reaped the rewards in season ticket sales from the people who bought them thinking he was.Yes Chase can play for Leigh in your next game if its a friendly.Leigh could sign Chase then send him out on loan,he could then return for the play offs.

I want to know what Iggy, Oggy,and Nozzy think?

I'm with leyther forever as far as Rangi goes (for what it's worth!)

If, for whatever reason, we are unable to finalise the signing of Chase, it leaves us rather short on cover at half back, with Reynolds having been loaned out to Dewsbury.

I thought Chase was up on breach of contract? If the meeting was yesterday and the conclusion was yes contract breached hence termination of employment.Then Chase would have been registered with the RFL as a Salford player up to the conclusion of that meeting were they would have added him to the free agent list.

No, Barlow's agent has good relations with Salford and so he's just trying to get his client a gig in Super League. I assume Barlow is out of contract with Leigh, with agent being so active in offering him around?

Barlow signed a 5 year contract last year
