Why single out the player? He was invited to play, he didn't ask to.

It's those who make the rules who should be taken to task here.

BECAUSE LESS THAN A YEAR AGO HE WAS TALKING HIMSELF UP FOR A KIWI JERSEY... AFTER ALL HE IS A KIWI...

No green eyed monster here. Rangi Chase is a class act and I would be delighted if he payed for us and I have no problem with him being Man of Steel - I would go further and say I think he thoroughly deserves it.

But what he does not deserve is to play for England. I may be old fashioned but I'm English. I was born in England as was my Father and Mother and I'm proud to be English. I cannot accept that someone who comes over here to earn a living can after a few years play for the National Team. I don't care if Australia do it, England Cricket do it or whoever, its wrong in my opinion.

What next a team of antipodeans who have been over here for a few years play and beat Australia as England - what a hollow victory that would be and I'd rather continue to lose as a team of Englishmen and retain some pride and credibility.

The RFL are a laughing stock in my eyes and I no longer have any interest in the International game.

Stop Moaning we might actually win something with the quality of Rangi if you had him you would not be posting anti cas literature

I know in the cricket team there has been a lot of criticism but at least in most those cases they have at least one English parents and in a lot of occasions like Strauss the England Captain, his parents moved back to England when he was kid after they were working abroad . Someone changing nationalities later in life and for what seem weak reasons at best should be a no no.

You think this is to do with Cas, give it a rest it and wise up, it would be the same what ever team he played for, just the same as Chris Heighington he shouldn't be nowhere near a England side as well or any other antipodean who qualifies.

A classless decision from a joke coach and a further reason to totally ignore international RL, if any were needed.

We might but what would be the point if we win with players who are not English?

If you had actually read and understood the majority of posts on this thread you would see that people are concerned/annoyed about the selection of non English players for England not just Mr Chase who just happens to be the player most recently in this position. I would take the exact same view if Chase happened to play for Wakefield.

EEEEAWWWWW

If he was that good he would be playing for New Zealand. The simple fact is that no Kiwi or Aussie will ever turn out for England unless they are not good enough to be selected for their own country so just as in SL we end up with the Aussie/Kiwi cast offs.

First nobody is posting anti-Cas literature and second, it will take more than just Rangi Chase if England are to win anything. Who's next Morrison, Carmont or Richards?

Watch the video on the Super League site. He clearly says he made the approach initially through Mick Robinson and then he contacted Fatnamara direct.

Man of Steel.

Widdop and Lomax for me with Burrow on bench to cover halfback/hooker for me... No need for Rangi
