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.

I don't think he would come as cover, though, he would be interchaging hooker with Houghton and put into the halves when needed. Same with Sammut if he comes. They would play most weeks for me, barring any injuries THEY get!

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.

Nail on the head!

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.

But still, a tad bit nervous.

Do Sammut or Chase want to come as cover? I doubt it.
They would come as first choice, that's why Chase makes more sense, Horne could then cover.

I am not sure we will actually see Horney again...hence the cheque book out.

Lets say we sign Chase, and Horne and Long both get injured. Does Chase give us the direction in the halves that we would be missing? I think Chase gives fantastic creativity etc but i'm not sure he's the option to cover Longs injuries.

Whoever is cover would be interchanging hooker for me, so they would all see good game time in pivotal roles. Because of Horney's rehab, whoever signs will play the first game anyway, so he will have to fight to get his place back in the halves after that IMO.
