I like how Hull fans have transmogrified Adam Pearson's arrogant approach to buying success, into other clubs cynically seeing them as a cash cow; they're having the same conversation on their board about WTW and Kyle Amor.

I didn't realise that other clubs were expected to sponsor Hull FC's newfound ambition by selling them players at below market value - perhaps Mr Pearson should get a 'top London legal team' to set us all straight?

Meanwhile, back in the real world, if a player is determined to leave and Hull are buying, then it's nothing other than good business to extract maximum value for that player. I'm sure Mr Pearson will get up to speed on all that stuff when he has a bit more experience under his belt.

Head, nail, hit...

A fee was agreed with Castleford before the deadline, Cas agreed, Chase agreed and Hull agreed.

Now it seems that a visa will happen Castleford have changed the goal posts and now want more money, all AP is saying is that he wont be held to ransom.

So if the clubs don't now come to an agreement you have an unhappy player on your books and you don't get a big wad of cash coming your way.

Lose, lose all round.

Unlikely.

If Hull don't buy him someone else will, so only Hull lose, which is ok by me.

Or he goes to the NRL on a free.

ps

Who else has the cash to buy him only two teams I can think of Wigan and Warrington that pay transfer fees.

Wigan are already sorted for next season, so that leaves Warrington at a guess.

Looks like you got your wish and your keeping Chase, said on the radio tonight in sports talk that a deal is now very unlikely as its just got way too complicated.


Shame really good player, would have loved to see him at the club but alas not to be.

You say it like we don't have the right to keep our own player.

And you forgot to mention that he stated it had become too complicated and personal mainly down to the player himself.

Re: Chase to Hull : Wed Sep 12, 2012 11:19 pm  

A choice between losing Chase or keeping him. Keep him hands down. 2 proper centres now with the club, a young scrum half to partner, his cousin in the 2nd row, I think we'll have a happier 2011 Man of Steel in our team.

Re: Chase to Hull : Thu Sep 13, 2012 8:36 am  

I had heard a few weeks ago that he didn't want to leave now due to us signing Weller.
Maybe this is why Cas are now stalling/asking for more money for Chase, I just hope that if he does stay his off field antics improve and he knuckles down and shows us what he can do on the field and starts to play like he has over the last two previous seasons.
