Whilst he has been entertaining the number of missed games and his attitude mean I'm unconcerned about him leaving. I'm sure we can find a player with a better attitude and that may impact on how the squad perform. I do worry about chase long term though, he seems a little fragile mentally.

Some people are self-destructive. Looking at the hard times he endured growing-up, finding RL fame quite young, moving across the globe and all the things we don't know about seem to contribute to his baggage. A lot of very talented people in any number of areas, be it regular jobs, sports people, or academics can be very difficult people. It seems to go with the label that these people get of being 'special' or unique in their fields. I think it requires a special breed of manager or boss to juggle these type of people into viable roles in their organisations.

I don't wish anything bad on the fella, and hope he finds some security for himself and family, and I'll be thankful that I saw him play for us but wont be shedding any tears when he officially goes.

Personally not really bothered about any of them they can almost all go as far as I'm concerned, whilst chase was sometimes brilliant he was also a liability and part of this superstar team that landed us second bottom of the league, unable to even get four home games and getting destroyed by the might of Bradford with Sheffield and Halifax also managing cricket type scores against there superior opposition.

On the plus side for Chase going by past Salford players and coaches they usually "Get Well" after they have been paid off and relieved of there Salford duties.

Watching a few games on YouTube from this season it's a shame he wants to leave especially when you see him patting the badge on his chest when he scored. We clearly did miss him during his harsh 7 match ban which caused us to miss out on the play offs. To be going Leigh though is a big step down for him.
