Congrats to Rangi on a decent debut and to top it off got m.o.m!

An utterly bizarre selection for MoM - he was MIA for most of the game and lost his rag in the second half; do they teach that 'knacker-squeeze' tackle technique at Cas I wonder, or was that one of his amazing, inspired, off-the-cuff moments?

Either way, his performance did not justify the hype.

That's funny because all the journalists seem to agree that he had a good game.

In the first half he was excellent and most of his passes either set up the tries on the left hand side or set the likes of Briscoe and Yeaman away.

In the second half he got his hands dirty in the middle but got frustrated with the lack of space he had.

Was it a MoM performance? I don't know but I certainly can't remember too many players who had a good game and didn't make mistakes.

Wakie fan in Cas player slating shocker!

You are vastman and I claim my £5

How many current Wakey players were in the team, again?

im sorry, but if any cas fan thinks chase shouldve been m.o.m, maybe they should watch the game again properly

Bitter and jealous ? a polecat ? never

I don't think it's a bad thing for his fans to come on here and congratulate him on the match award. If you want to disagree with the award, fine. However, why not go to the virtual terrace and release your bile there. Or indeed simply grow up, accept what you can't change and move on.

WELL DONE RANGI. YOU'VE MADE YOUR FANS PROUD OF YOU, MATE.

Wee done Rangi. Good debut.

I agree that Rangi didn't have the sort of superstar performance he invariably provides in a Cas shirt but as Phil Clarke & Brian Carney noted in the 2nd half, it's a bit different for him at international level cos he's vying for use of the ball with other top playmakers whereas at Cas he is the undisputed number 1.

One or two of the pundits pre-game said it was important that he was allowed to play his own game the same way as he does for Cas but it looked very much like he was playing to a structure and trying to be a traditional number 7. Which throws up a bit of a conundrum cos he's risen to prominence on the back of his 'off the cuff' style of play but that might not neccesarily be best suited to the international side.

As to his MoM award. I was a little surprised that he got it (though not as shocked as Eddie Hemmings) but when I thought about it I couldn't recall another player that had a better game than him.

Sinfield stood out in the 1st half but faded in the 2nd, Roby was decent throughout and Jack Reed showed some nice touches notably his try.

I'd have been happy with any 1 of those 4 being awarded it but Rangi seems to have developed a touch of the 'Steven Gerrards' ie. the press seem to work on the basis of he starts the match as favourite for MoM and another player has to do somert spectacular to take it off him

Well done my left foot,What a sham this guy keeping british players out he ought to be ashamed of himself

I refer you, Sir, to my earlier post.

Rangi MoM, did France play New Zealand last night?

Still think it's a disgrace he plays for England no matter how good he is.

What gets me with your type is you would accept Danny Brough who chose to represent Scotland?????

Yeah, damn the best player in Super League keeping out far inferior players!

Or Garreth Carvell who chose to represent Wales? Or Ben Harrison with Ireland?

Well i don't know where that came from, i don't think i mentioned DB

Danny Brough though seeing has you have brought him up born in Yorkshire (England) played for, to name a few

Hull (English)
Castleford (English)
Wakefield (English)
Huddersfield (English)

He's English he should have never played for Scotland, Rangi is a Kiwi and should never have played for England.

I understand you guys love him and i'm not slagging the bloke off or his talent but he shouldn't be playing for England end of.

Gaz Carvell Yorkshire man
Ben Harrison Cumbrian

I assume your just here to stir it coz ya bored,

I know Danny and his Inlaws well this is by no way anti db

in bored with your racism so in off

Racism? Before you throw such 'serious' allegations at someone it helps to get to know them and you obviously don't know me.

There is nothing racist in what i say.

Simple questions

Is Rangi Chase an Englishman?

If so whereabouts in England or even GB was he born?

What's his accent?

If he's not English himself, how far back do we go to find his English heritage? 3rd generation? 4th? 145th?

It's not racist to say someone who isn't English is not an Englishman you fool.

According to the 3 year residency rule, yes.



This question is irrelevant, as he qualifies by the 3 year residency rule

There's another thread for discussing this, now.

Residency blah blah

I don't think he should be selected blah blah
