Perhaps, with Wakefield being a minority in SL, we should charge them more than other away fans for getting into Wheldon Road?

You've lost the plot, go and have a cup of tea, regathering yourself, get a sense of perspective and come back talking sense.

Oh dear - I feel a bit worried for you now. Is there someone there you can talk to?

I'm still waiting for you to explain why my comments were so silly...
Agin, the poster said it was acceptable to penalise a minority. I pointed out instances of when this had happened. What's the problem?

Where as the current rules are punishing the English players who could be playing in his place. You can twist this as much as you want, but the only reason you're supporting Chase playing for England is because he's a Castleford player. Let's say Vince Mellars decides to make himself available for England and as a result keeps out Joe Arundel for arguements sake, I don't believe for a minute that any of you will be coming on here saying "Well done Vince". Rangi Chase is a mercenary. If he has to no loyalty to his country, I can't see him having much for Castleford.

And just a few short years later he was back in Samoan colours making fools of Tony Smith, you and everyone else who fell for it.

At the time I felt that no English coach would pick a foreigner for national side, and put it down to Smith being an Aussie who was driven by money and not by patriotism. McNamara has no excuse.

1. Read the thread. I don't support Chase playing for England. I accept it because the rules say he can.
2. I don't think Chase's loyalty is in doubt, signing a 4-year deal when he could have gone to practically any other team in a year's time.

Only if you accept the tissue thin depth of sincerity that accompanies the statements he (& Rangi Chase) made when pledging their undying love for England and the Queen!

More fool you if you did but while people like you accept it there are others that walk away from the international game in despair.
