The thing with Chase is he creates these issues. The visa problem was brought about due to his issues in Oz. The going back to Oz issue were created by him using two different agents. I seems it would have been sorted but for this fact. I think they lost patience because of it been unclear which agent represented him. Although that is speculation.

I think that keeping him will cause money issues at Cas and stop any money for ground developement taking place. I take no joy out of this it is very sad that when a smaller club at least try to keep hold of there prize assets it blows up in their face. I think Richard Wright has left Steve Ferres holding a player contract that is beyond the means of the club.

He's a quality player, but deep down both parties must be resigned to the fact they're stuck with each other. There will be a lot more to run with the Rangi Chase saga that's for sure.

smaller club? Just because you finished 8th in ONE season doesn't make you a big club so get off your high horse

Read it again - he never said Wakefield were a big club !

I think you'll find that the 'smaller club' comment was inclusive of WTW.

Wazzock.

No i don't think so, he's happy at Cas.

Look who's talking and you might want to remove that chip off you're shoulder because you've just made most of that up yourself. Where does he say we're a big club, that's right he doesn't and even if he was talking about Trinity he would refer to it the same, as a smaller club, another cringer from you.

A bit of a sorry tale this one.
It seemed that Chase wanted out and that Cas wanted to cash in their "prize" asset and now they are stuck with each other (for another season at least) and Chase has gone from being worshiped, to being a reluctant player for a team that he has no interest in.
Never mind though, he's still coining it in with his contract, so he aint losing anything !

I'm not really convinced Chase "wanted out" and I'm don't think I would describe him as a "reluctant player for a team that he has no interest in" just yet. Even in the last home game of the season against London we saw flashes of his brilliant best and that was playing at full-back.
When he was suspended by CT for 4 weeks, he says he was expecting getting sacked and was merely finding another club in Hull FC.
I don't really know what to believe in the whole sorry saga but what I do know is the debacle has mostly been created by his agents and members of staff at Hull FC - the same ones who conspired to unrest Johnson from WTW.

One would hope that Mr Pearson has learned not to conduct his business in public from here onwards, but his arrogant demeanour would suggest otherwise.

Either way, I hope this doesn't backfire on Cas - if they weren't factoring his contract value in their sums for next season, £150k is a big hole to fill.

There are definitely worse players to be 'stuck' with. Would much rather play Cas without him in the side!
Still can't see him been there next year.
