But they have to find a way to appease the fans - if they flog him to the highest bidder without putting up the semblance of a fight, their fans turn against them.

If this act was purely to get out of his contract then he has a very serious problem as opposed to just a serious problem.

itFor me, its a case of PR from both parties...what I think is the hierarchy at Cas want the fans to turn agaisnt Chase by portraying him in a bad light (we knew this anyway there was just a section of fans who worshipped him) and so make us not be too worried when we sell him, so there are less groans. Chase has done this to simply just get sold, he knows Cas will not put up with this much longer and hes an absolute he's turned fans heads who used to love him, he thinks hes better than the whole of castleford tigers...reaction is get rid

Never been convinced about him on the pitch meself, think the hype has taken over somewhat. It's relatively easy to look like a worldbeater and stand out in a poor side, but I am yet to be convinced that he can do what is required of him when he is just another cog in the wheel at somewhere like Wigan. I suppose the er argument is that its much harder to perform when playing behind a beaten pack and give a half back a platform then let them create and only time will if he does go onwards and upwards.

He just seems to be too much of a maverick for me and for every hop-skip-jump that unlocks a defense there is a horrible scummy tackle or off field incident to balance things out.

I think you are crediting him with far too much intelligence. He already has a reputation as a loose canon, all this nonsense is just as likely to put off potential suiters.

The best business decision the castleford club has made for some years. Sell get shut and get some serious coin. Rebuild a team where victory is not totally dependable on one man.

Seems he's not in the squad for Monday, maybe one of these rumours flying around regards him is true, taking a long time to investigate a few sherberts at xscape? Anyone hearing anything from a good source?

IF what a Castleford Fan has told me is correct, he should be suspended for a long time, he is not a good example for the sport or young people aspiring to play it.

Heard it's nothing more than a case of the sniffles

Might have just picked it up from a team mate who had a bad bout a few years back.

Nothing to worry about Fully

Chase will not play for us again this season...

I've also heard a rumour. And it is apparently why Wigan don't want him now. They don't want 2 of them in their squad.

If what I've heard is true chase won't be playing for cas for at least two years...

Maybe Hudds will want him now??
