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.

For what it's worth, I think that Chase will stay with you. However, it might only be a matter of time before a club like a Hull, Warrington, Saints comes in for him. Would you rather stick with him for a season or two and get £150k like you got for Westerman, or try to get a bigger fee for him now?

Would that be the rumour that someone had spotted him at Headingley when he was in NZ playing against England?

I remember you coming on this board telling us Westerman wasnt going anywhere!

Admit it, you're just a little bit nervous your board will crumble.

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

If we signed Chase (with Washbrook leaving as part of the deal) and also brought Phelps in, Chase would provide another number at 6/7, and Phelps would offer cover at 1/2/3/4/5. If we stuck Phelps at 1, Tansey could then also be used at 6/7/9. If that situation occured, I don't think we'd miss Washbrook too much. I don't think we'd miss him too much either.

You are correct it is pure speculation to what Chase wants to do..However who knows he may have refuted claims because he want to come to Hull

Seriously though if a player wants to move away from a team, the fee will not be huge as all coaches know the player is no longer the asset they were.It will be interesting how it all pans out..

Depends on how high we are willing to go and how many times Cas are prepared to say no. Is there a price that they will deal at? If so can we afford that price?

I'd rather keep him. He's worth more to us than he is to you and we can build the team around him. With a new stadium on the horizon, the future is looking bright for us. I believe he would want to be a part of that - I certainly hope he would.

Not nervous at all. Chase is fundamental to our plans for the future. We have no reason to sell our most prized asset. It would be suicide from our Board of Directors.

He's a halfback, they're like gold-dust to us!!!

I think the major sticking point won't be Cas wanting to sell, it'll be down to Chase wanting to stay or not.
