| Quote: liamgill "This thread isnt 'Have a pop at Rangi Chase'
Your completely wrong to call chase him an average player. Im obviously going to be biased because im a Castleford fan - but every Superleague club would jump at the chance o have Rangi Chase on their books. Your obviously someone making judgements on the 4 games youve watched on Sky this year. You have to be a little more than 'Average' to win the Albert Goldthorpe Medal and be nominated for Man of Steel.
Back on topic, his inclusion is a joke and we should really be concentrating on bringing our own English youngsters through the ranks. I seem to remember the same situation happening with Willie Manu a couple of years ago?
Fact is, if his playing style wasnt so similar to Benji Marshal, He'd be in the New Zealand squad right now.'"
I'm completely right. Chase is nothing special, and seriously don't believe the hype that big clubs are interested in him because they are not, the biggest clubs in Super League Warrington, Wigan, Leeds and Saints are not interested in him and nobody in the NRL is interested, he's at his level a big fish in a tiny pond.

You're completely wrong to suggest Chase is an average player.

Does your comment indicate you didn’t watch his last few games at no 6 for Storm? The pundits on Channel nine and Foxsports were very impressed with his performances in fact Ray Warren and Peter Stirling likened him to some of the GB halves of the past

Really? Ok Paul, because you know so I must be completely wrong.
Like I said I do not know one single Kiwi who knows who is, if you know Kiwi's they would be aware if a fellow Kiwi was good at rugby believe me and nobody i've spoken to at Warriors games has heard of him, and by the way my girlfriend is of maori decent and a South Aucklander and nobodies heard of him in the mad rugby world that is NZ.

No it's my opinion that's all. However it did not stop you telling someone you were completely right did it earlier?
That is no grounds for judging his ability. He played in the NRL and in SL has blossomed and is one of three players shortlisted for the MOS award. He might not be as good enough to play for NZ but it does not make him an average player.

Clearly on this site he's a superstar.
I've seen more posts recently about a, sorry (above average) Castleford player then our own.

So what your saying is this so called Rugby mad nation doesn't know a player who's played for the New Zealand Maoris?

So the defence of an opposition player continues... yes I do not know one person who knows who is. you've experienced a different response in New Zealand when you mention Chase?

If Widdop is "gash" and get's in the England Team purely because he plays in the NRL, what is your rationale for the fact that Craig Bellamy has him as the starting 6 for Melbourne?

Thoughts?
Frankly, I think it's pathetic. Countries aren't clubs, you can't just switch around. He's played for the NZ Maori and the Exiles in the past year, too. RFL and international RL looks a joke, this just undermines any credibility our sport had.'"
Inernational RL has and always will be a joke, this just emphasizes it even more.

Why bother i'm convinced people on here have no idea how big the gap between the NRL and Super League is.
Unfortunately the gimmick which is the World Club challenge has given too many people the idea that the 2 leagues are not far apart.
