Reading between the lines I think Cas set a fee for him, a few clubs have matched it but the player is happy to stay... And maybe for visa reasons too.

There is no way ANY team will have matched HALF A MILLION that the club supposedly want for him (+ a 150k+ for wages).

Looks like rumour-mongering to me - a lot of hot air and no real substance from any reliable source. Perhaps people are working on that premise that if you say something enough, others will start to believe it. Until I hear anything from the club, hot air is what this will remain.

my original post does mention the contract extension till 2015, i was merely asking if anyone here who is close to the club had heard anything. i was told the extension would be announced tuesday, its now wednesday and the twitter threads are saying something else. It was just a question.

Yes and one that just happens to be a new thread every week, all you need to do is replace the club name; it's tiresome, untrue and boring now.

All Chase rumour threads should be locked straight away.

Is it beyond the pale that he'll go though?

Chase is a player that could walk into any team in SL and in a situation like that, much as the one we faced with Broughy, the relative 'minnows' in the competition are hard pressed to hold on to players like that, particularly if there's brass on offer and the host club are under pressure in that respect.

I understand your protectionist sentiments - we haven't been the same since Broughy left and every time I see him in a Shudds jumper, it makes me want to spit.

Apart from he wants to stay at Cas hence signing until 2015

He's going to be a busy man next season though, what with him playing for:
Cas, Wakey, Widnes, Wigan, Warrington, Leeds and Hull FC

And half the NRL

We felt like that when he left us and went downmarket

I can imagine - he's clearly the best SH in the competition; Shudds can't buy a win without him.

Unless the publicly stated amount is different to the private one
