He did play for Scotland in the RL world cup so could be ok for non quota

i was told that chases contract extension with cas would be announced yesterday, nothing as yet, i posed the question on the Cas board asking if they knew anything...... touchy about the whole thing to say the least.

I've been reading around about Rangi Chase.

He's contracted to 2013. His agent confirmed that Castleford were looking to restructure his contract to keep him at the club. Two months later and Chase's lawyer claims his client is contracted to 2015. And people on the other Castleford forum are adament that he has signed a two-year extension. Chase has been quoted in RLW that he has 'fallen in love with Cas' but the idea of playing for a successful side is certainly one that interests him. He also has the desire to return to the NRL to play for New Zealand.

Also the rumoured figure slapped on the last two years of his contract is £500k.

Ouch.

To me, that all makes it sound like he's available. But I can't see Wigan touching him at that price.

Agreed.

If Cas can cash in on him then they will.

500k for Rangi Chase? Gee, I think not.

Re: Rumours and signings v8 : Thu Sep 08, 2011 9:32 am  

Todd Carney? IL's shown he's willing to take risks in recruitment in the past.

Catalans won't be signing him.

God no.

Far, far more trouble than he's worth.

I'd take Todd Carney over Rangi Chase any day of the week. Apparently Carney's agent has said he's confident he can get a UK Visa.

Carney's proved it in the best competition, Chase makes me think of big fish/small pond syndrome ala Danny Orr and Denis Moran.
