When Chase was convicted of assault wasnt the contract extension partly due to maintaining his Visa. I may be wrong but I thought if you changed employers then you had to submit a new visa application which would probably be refused. Does playing for the national side change this ???
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS

A pairing of Chase and Smith is 'exciting' but it would worry me in defence compared to Leuluai and Finch.
Personally I am not sure Chase fits in with our ethos. He seems very individual. He might do ok playing to the structures that we do with the freedom to find a gap if he finds it.
has any one mentioned liam watts? i haven't seen it anywhere if so... with lima returning to the nrl what about him as a replacement? also dudson is out for ten weeks could be a good bit of business if done for the right price. i know hes gone of the boil this season but at wigan with marc bitcon he could soon find hes form again he did look international potential not so long ago and hes english with youth.
We would be mad not to bid for chase and by the sounds of it he can't wait to leave cas. He's got that magic about him as a player and can make something happen, with a pre-season under wane, bitcon, harris, deacon and the wigan way he will know his role in our team. I was actually pretty impressed with him for england last year and with the likes of chase, tomkins, hock, lockers etc... I wouldn't like to be defending our attack!
Liam Watts is another I would be going for: young, english and with potential. Someone like him would thrive in the wigan system.
We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.
I'd forgotten about the Visa issue. Surely a move is almost impossible for him given other players who have been turned down for criminal records back in Oz. But then again, surely a Visa has to be renewed or can be looked at again and terminated by the government if they so wished. So maybe it's not the issue we thought at the time when he got his extention.
Not sure whether he would be a good addition for Wigan or not. Can look great at times, but how much of his game is created by Danny Ore controlling the rest of the game?????
Chase would be fantastic at Wigan, don't even think he wouldn't be. He creates tries for fun at Castleford, frightening to think what he'd do in this team.
Bit disrespectful saying he'd go though even if there isn't an (official) offer on the table
i would have him at wigan but not for that money,he could decide hes home sick after a season,and we'll be down 350k without a player...IL is not that daft
