Cas will not sell Chase unless it was for a ridiculously huge figure and by huge, I mean higher than the Fielden's transfer to Wigan. £500k no less. He is literally worth that much to us IMO (maybe not to you but to lose him would be committing suicide).

When's Chase contracted till, and when was Westerman contracted till, out of interest?

Seems to be some confusion over Westerman because we believed until 2012 but the club seemed to think it was end of this season.

Chase signed a four year deal in 2009 and as such is in contract until 2013.

If castleford were willing to sell Chase then the board should pulling out all the stops to get him

With Chase on board then i'll feel confident we could actually win some silverware this season. Not just that but it would mean at the end of 2011 we would only need to sign one more high profile HB with the exit of Long/Horne

IMO if Westermans transfer is worth £150k then i reckon the board should shell out even more for Chase!

How long has Chase got on his contract? Remember, Westerman was going into his last year! Given how important he is to Cas and how keen we are for cover I can see £300k almost being a minimum.
Problem is you're not going to pay £300k for cover.

yeah, Cas dont want to sell him. But he wants to go, having seen the team go backwards and his mate move on. Chase is MUCH better than Sammut imo, not even close, but very unlikely. Think it would take a request from Chase and a massive fee

I'll wait to hear that from someone with gravitas behind their statements before believing it, if that's ok.

Where did you get that pearler from? If Chase wanted to move on he wouldn't have refuted claims he was off to Leeds a few weeks back.

Maybe so, but of all our first team squad, he's the most expendable for me.

Sheer numbers tells you we shouldn't be letting anyone go, as part of any deal!
