If he signs for an NRL club, you wont get a fee.

NRL clubs don't pay transfer fees, as far as I know they have never paid a fee for a SL based player in the past.

Err..........

Sam Burgess.

A very strange outburst from Milward.
A fee has being agreed between Castleford & Hull the only thing stopping the deal going through on deadline day was the visa.
I do agree about one thing though is it is dragging on, but you can't dictate to the Home Office.

Fair point, forgot about that however I doubt it will have been anywhere near the fee hull have reported to have paid, I'd also say that burgess was much more sought after than chase, who's time in the NRL was mixed.

What did Millward say?

That an NRL team has enquired about Chase.

That Hull haven't made a bid and it's all just talk from their end. It's on YEP website.

Looking at the Cas statements put out they never said a fee had been agreed nor that a bid had been made. Just that they had 'expressed an interest'.

So we've gone through all this trouble of trying to get Chase a visa paying god knows how much in lawyers fees, to not have even agreed terms with Castleford? Yeah okay then Basil!

Or....there's no point going after someone if you can't get the visa.

Better to put the manhours in and THEN make an offer when you know it's possible than other way around. You can also get other targets then.

So, yes, it is plausible. Perhaps you should ask your own club?

Why would Hull agree terms with Cas before they know if Chase could actually get a visa?

Why would you waste money applying for a visa if cas aren't willing to sell at a price you're willing to pay?

But you'd clearly enquire about the player first see if he's happy to come to 'x' club and if his current club would be willing to accept an offer of what ever if we can get a visa for the player first. Then you'd go about applying for the visa obviously why would you waste money on attempting to get the player a visa if his current club aren't even willing to let him move on?
