Re: Rangi
2 year ban almost certain to finish his career. With his past of mental health issues I pray we don't have another terry newton situation.

Re: Rangi
Not surprising, though I hoped he would end his career positively at Widnes.
There was a strong rumour he was withdrawn with an "injury" at short notice when he was playing for Leigh so he couldn't be tested.
To have cocaine in his system after a game he will have taken it either on the day of the game or the night before.
He clearly has serious mental health issues and should be supported as much as possible.

Re: Rangi
All the help in the world doesn't seem to matter to Rangi. If he admitted that something was wrong there's a support network he could lean on however even through multiple clubs Rangi has put himself into situations off field on multiple occasions.
Even after coming back to Cas, banging his hand on the badge and expressing his love for the club and what they've done for him he still couldn't last a season without going out and destroying it all.
Widnes was his last chance - a place to try and earn back some respect and show the RL community what we all know he's capable of, yet he blew it again over a line of crack.
His career in rugby is done, now he has to navigate the real world and find a job. I hope he manages to sort himself out before it's too late. He just needs to admit there's a problem and take steps to deal with it instead of continuing down the path he's going.

Re: Rangi
Admit what he's done ,take steps to deal with it instead of..........
So it's that easy, gosh,! get on to the NHS and tell them to stop wasting all that money on rehabilitation.
I really find this attitude most unhelpful,there are many reasons why people find themselves in difficult situations,but the get a grip attitude prevents many who need help from seeking it.
It reinforces feelings of worthlessness and where do they seek sanctuary.!!
Self harm ,suicide rates at record levels but get a grip
I will ban myself before l become a little angry instead l will take steps to deal with it.
Good night

All the help in the world is worthless if you don't act on it, until you admit you have a problem nobody will be able to do anything and it's pretty obvious Rangi isn't listening as he's going out getting into fights, putting himself into those situations and taking drugs.

Re: Rangi
rangi always seemed happy in his first magnificent spell at cas.
it all went wrong when cuckoocash came waving his cheque book and promising the world.
instead he acted like a pimp parading rangi at all his social events as some sort of trophy.
the autobiography will be interesting.

Re: Rangi
Makes you wonder just when this snorting started.
For example, anyone that can remember the massive hit on sinfield in his first spell with the club will see drugs body language all over it.
The confidence and outrage of his sublime skills also points to kind assistance - the lad performed and acted 'quicker' than anyone.......
I'd put my mortgage on Coke being a staple of Rangi Chase's attacking armoury tbh, from about season 2 onwards.....
You can see how haggard he looks now compared to Coke free times anyway....go back and check....
This all said - casjunction is talking huge sense

Re: Rangi
I don't want to get involved in who is right and who is wrong regarding the taking of any drug but, a friend of the family ,whom plays professional rugby league for a super league club, confided that drug taking in the sport could be as high as 90%. Cocaine taking is said to be an recreational drug taken by a host of celebrities. My own thoughts is to find the source of supply and eradicate all drugs but that is an impossible task until we the people help put an end to it.duke street 10 wrote:Rangi & Adam Walker last week...makes you wonder if this is the tip of the iceberg and there will be more failed tests for cocaine soon?
By all accounts, those that 'dabble' in the taking of 'coke' say it isn't addictive, tell that to the poor souls' who have been hooked into the dark world of drugs.

Re: Rangi
Personally I can't understand why a well paid sports man would want to put unnatural drugs into his or her body.
Especially when they spend half there time trying to get it into peak condition to play there chosen sport.
Just seems madness to me.

My point is why would they want to, why would they want to put an unnatural drug into there bodies.
I've never to any sort of drugs apart from perscribide ones.
So don't know how they do and don't make you feel. I never want to.
Re: Rangi
Some people need a buzz rangi gets that from playing in front of a crowd shouting his name. He's not happier than when he is on the pitch, so he will be at his lowest ebb when he is not. So he looks for something else to find that same buzz when he is not in the pitch all players do it but find it in different forms some do it with ale, some with a brawl, some with prescription pain killers, others it's going home to a loving family or religion. These clearly aren't enough for Rangi and his personality has led him down this dark path. Only Rangi can stop this ending in tragedy but he can't do it alone he needs help.ERG2012 wrote:Top and bottom of it OCL it's a great painkiller keeps you going and alert.old cas lass wrote:Personally I can't understand why a well paid sports man would want to put unnatural drugs into his or her body.

We hear it every game at Cas "rugby league is a family game" so let's not turn our back on our brother and as a sport make sure he gets the help he needs.
