Carney suspended

[Juscas]

Is it only me that thinks Bjb is very average indeed?
Ok he scored a lot at Leeds but with some of the players he had inside him so would most players.i think at Salford he has been found out as a run of the mill bottom 4 winger with a lot of errors in his game

[Riggins]

Chase coming back depends on whether Powell thinks he can work with Gale. If he has doubts then leave well alone. But if we can have Gale marshalling the team round the pitch as a traditional #7 and Rangi being the creative spark needed at time at #6 then it would be an awesome pairing.

[dettoriman]

I'm fairly sure Powell would welcome back a focussed Rangi Chase with open arms.

[Evatiger]

Heard chase in talks to come back.good source(not revealing it)but told me about carney couple of weeks ago before mentioned on here and other stuff that's become true.just in talks mind not Defo signing

[Durhamtiger3]

Ignore can't be bothered

[40/20]

If we was to have any one Caton brown looked good at London. Fits on wing or centre and has pace.

[englishbondtiger]

chase all be it is a good player when focused, his attitude stinks and I don't think he would fit in with the ethos down the lane at the minute.....I remember going to London 3 years ago when we got hammered and chase came and stuck twos up at our support......

[Sharlotiger]

Chase was playing some excellent rugby under DP before Cas moved him out and we would have probably finished in the top 8 that year if Powell had have been the coach all year.
I have every faith in Powell to bring the best out of Rangi if he returned and that could only make us a better side.

[speedy]

I'll think you should think again about chase being moved out by cas. Don't blame the club. I don't want chase back. The team are a lot better off without him

[Sharlotiger]

Cas made it clear to Chase to find another club, at the time we were in a desperate financial position and the old regime had given him a contrct the club just couldn't afford,
We put him up for grabs to all and sundry so I can hardly blame Chase for moving out.
Same with Clark, poor management cost us 2 men of steel.

Poor management cost us 2 men of steel - Spot on. At least Cas have people who know what they are doing in charge of the club now. There is no doubt Chase and Powell did get on, making Rangi captain for his last game showed that

Not quite true.

Chase instigated his own move out of the club. Yes he was on a good contract but he made it clear he wanted to go. We didn't want rid of him.

However, when a player's head is gone (and attitude too) Cas cut their losses, cashed in on him for over £100k and cut £150k plus from the wage bill.

I think Rangi deserves a bit of sympathy. He was at Cas when they were run by a bunch of clowns, then moves to Salford only to find they are run by a bunch of clowns as well. Part of the reason why he moved was to help secure his families future, so that can be understood. I agree he does have attitude, but I think part of that can be justified as well, due to who the management have been when he has been at Cas and Salford

[nottinghamtiger]

The sad thing is that he has been at Salford between the ages of 26-29. This should have been the peak of his career and it's been wasted at a club that resembles a circus.
However, his game isn't based on pace. He should have a good 4-5 years left.

[tigerforever]

Still dont know how anybody thinks we can afford Rangis wages. Its surely a complete non starter.

[smarty_tiger]

I wouldn't even attempt it unless he seriously lowers his wages. If the club have that kind of money to offer wages then we should be using that elsewhere. He is too hit and miss to be on those kind of wages and a bit of a smack in the mouth to the rest of our squad if he were to walk in and take such high wages. What is Chase now 29? and still being disruptive.

[Sharlotiger]

Well according to HT Chases wages were not a problem and that was when we were skint. Carney going would free up a bit o the cap or maybe we could make him our marquee player with outside sponsorship support.

[Andrew6666]

Chase was fantastic when he was with us , ala Shenton would probably see his best play if back with us. The problem is, he left for cash - IMO we shouldn't break the bank for him, give T Holmes a go and see how he goes before splashing cash - we made Chase, no reason we can't make another star in someone else.

[dettoriman]

We didn't make Rangi Chase at all, he came blessed with natural ability, all we did was give him a free reign to showcase it.

We're carrying a lot of dead wood in the squad, If Chase would come back for a deal similar to the one he was on, and DP could get him and Luke Gale playing, We could have the best halves in the league, my worry is without another quality winger, The chances they create may go to waste.

I'd be hoping we hold out for a fee for Carney. And try and re-use that to tempt a winger for our other wing. Tom Johnstone at Wakey been number 1 target, who shone in an awful side this year, similar to what Solomona and Magic Mike did for London.

[paulhutch1]

Heard Chase is going to Catalan to replace Dureau and Fages has agreed a deal at Huddersfield.
keep Gale and Roberts at half back with Tom Holmes in support. Just need to look for a full back for when Dorn is out.
