Chase Blair

Did anybody else think that the wearing of the boot might just be akin to the worst trainer of the week driving the reliant Robin all week?

Do you think maybe the lads draw straws and then the loser has to wear the boot out in public and they see how the fans and others react as a laugh?

Just putting it out there. I can't really see him being beered up, going to hospital and receiving treatment and a boot. Which, if your in your holidays and in Germany for a few days only, seems a little much. If it was broken they'd pot it and strained strap it. Not give you an expensive boot to go on the beer in. So it was probably taken with them.

On a night out once, I took red clown noses and if you were caught talking about work and not wearing it, it was your round. It didn't mean we were a clown convention. And yes, it was a great night and a few of us had lots of free beer.

So do we have to wait till the start of 2021 for him to show some form as it sounds like he wont be getting much of a pre season for 2020. That's unless he gets injured for that pre season too?

exactly what I was thinking, the Blair apologists continually tell us that we shouldn’t have expected anything over the 5 months he’s drawn a wage but he needs a pre-season over a bitter northern winter to hone his skills. Looks like his pre-season may be disrupted so do we now have to wait for his winter 2020/21 pre-season to see the best from him. Hoping our forum experts can enlighten me.

To be blunt. No!

He's somewhere with his family, I wouldn't of thought so, would you?

[Flat Capper]

So is there anything official or are folk just guessing......again?

[HuddsTigers]

I would imagine that a lot of the squad will be sporting boots, getting things strapped up and going under the knife. This is a chance to recuperate over the off-season. It could actually be a minor niggle that he's got that requires rest and no pressure on for a while, that he's been getting through with on injections.

I thought the boot thing was Germany with the lads. I don't stalk players, so wouldn't know. ( not saying your a stralker, rather I am not)

Defo in a boot seen him this morning in Aldi, never asked him any questions as I don't like to intrude in their day to day life outside of rugby.

No harm in showing an interest between a fan and player. It’s when people start getting abusive on social media that a line is crossed.

That surprises me, I'd always thought the overseas players would go home for a month to get away from the wet and cold weather.

Who needs suburbs of Melbourne when your in Cas jing...

[Fumper27]

Will miss pre season due to injury :-$

Wrong again, given Matt Crowthers latest update.

[Frankas]

He's the new Richi Owen, if owt goes wrong it's all his fault, Cas fans have to have someone to moan about.

[jackknife]

I thought that was why we kept Massey

[tigerfeat]

Richie Owen was a very good player -prospect till he badly broke his leg on a frost bound pitch

He was a great prospect - could have gone on to have a very good career in SL and maybe international. Unfortunately he didn't seem to recover, mentally, from the injury. He seemed to lose all confidence. Shame how things turned out for Richie.

Richard suffered a very serious leg injury, which didn't heal as well as it should have. He was in great pain at times due to inflammation and infection. He had a lot of ongoing treatment. This definitely had an impact on how he performed.
Such a shame, pre injury he was rightly being tipped as a potential GB fullback.

Well someone on here said it was the 31st of Oct today but I made sure I checked.

[Mysterio]

Richie Owen was a prat, let's be honest,

[lurcher]

seen video's of him where in his spare time he kept ferrets and LURCHERS so i'm not going to knock the lad, think i've probably worked the same land as him knowing where he lived.

the thread seems to have got diverted some what ,
