I think you are right Doc, give me the choice between Rankin and Chase, I'd take Chase, but I still hope we sign two decent halfbacks, although I have been saying this for years.

but how long until he blows his top or goes missing in games or gets in trouble....to much of a liability

Has been a good boy so far at salford, he certainly goes missing alot less than our current halfs, I'm not saying we should sign him, but I'd rather have him at halfback next season for Hull than Rankin or Miller.

If it's true about Dobson to Salford , can't see hudge been to happy after Dobson using the clause in his contract to go to oz when hudge wouldn't let him go to Salford last year .

If we did sign Chase (and I'm not sure we should) his half back partner would need to be an experienced, "steady the ship" sort of player to provide stability on those days he goes AWOL or has another brain fart.

We have one , mr Horne !

Can't believe there is talk of signing Chase, there is no way he'd leave Salford. Not forgetting the fact he's apparently the highest paid player in the league.

No, we don't. Really we don't.

Most of us knew that a return to SL was on the cards when he went, so I doubt Hudge will be that worried. Good luck to him, he was a great servant to us, hope he gets a big chunk of the mad doctors cash.

I don't rate Horne now but he is everything you mentioned in your post

What are we doing with our 2 halfs who are contracted for 2015 if we bring 2 new ones in? Is the supposed penny pinching pearson going to dig into his pockets to pay off contracts again?

So why didn't hudge just take koucash money instead of getting nothing for him and then Salford get him 1 year later

coolcash is taking the on the salary cap

Dobson exercised a clause to have another crack at the NRL. Even if wd wanted to sell to Salford, we couldn't force him to go there. Hudge & Dobson parted on very good terms.

Reckon Miller will go back home, Rankin to stay and replace Horne.

Although not totally given up on Rankin.
