Errr, no we don't. He has shown his true colours and a number of Cas fans do not like what they have seen. How can someone who only 9 months ago proclaimed his love for the club and the area and wanted to give something back suddenly decide that we're no longer good enough. It is clearly not the clubs fault as we're trying to move on as shown by the massive increase in quality of player recruitment compared to recruitment for the 2012 season.

I wouldn't mind but I heard one of the reasons he wants to leave is because he thinks the current squad aren't good enough. (not that I can blame him)

However he isn't willing, by the looks of things, to give next years squad a chance

You have to ask yourself what has changed why does Rangi and clarke now want out?

A couple of weeks ago i was thinking wow what a back line we would have Rangi,Ellis,Clarke,Senton and Webster.

Now IMO our best two players want out, WHY?

I personally have always been a Chase fan and don't mind him going things change, its the way he's done it that i'm dissappointed with.

Yes i agree

I'm disappointed we're losing the 2011 Man Of Steel. Only thick people would think losing him is a good thing.

Good luck to him if he goes, we signed him as a unknown figure and hes worked wonders for us over the past couple of seasons & won many a game single handedly.
I can understand him wanting to move to a bigger club.

Don't worry its not only on here, there were poster on our side saying they wouldn't be happy if we signed him.

I could understand him going to Wigan Warrington, Leeds or Saints, but Hull i cant understand they are massive underachievers that spend loads and get no were

Sorry Towns but I do not regard myself as thick and I want Rangi gone for the simple fact that he is now a negative influence around the club. Should the deal to Hull not go through, Rangi's team mates, coaching staff and most importantly, the fans all know he does not want to be at Cas. Let him go ON OUR TERMS and lets all move on. Yes, he has done wonders for our club but no one man is bigger than the club. I have said before that his (RC) salary could pay for 3 good players which would give us a better squad overall. If we then use the reported £350,000 transfer fee to pay for another three or four players for the next two seasons. We would suddenly have 7 new players on top of Shenton, Webster, Ellis, Tansey and Gilmour to go with the players currently signed to us for 2013 and we are much stronger as a club. The (hopefully) higher league finish, play off run and a decent cup run would off set the extra money spent and enable to strengthen further for 2014. Would this not also entice fans back to the club to watch a club whose performing well, giving 100% and winning?

2014? So is next year a write off already too?

The thing is Frumper, we all know that we won't reinvest all the money into the squad, its the Cas way. It's demoralising that so many of our better players want out. It's demoralising that we can't sort it. Losing our best player is not a good thing.

Ah I get your 2014 point now. You mention the players we've signed but not many of them I think are genuine quality. There's a few risk players there and you have to bare in mind, we're losing what 12 players? So most likely we'll start next season with a identical sized squad. However, we'll have 2 proper centres, which is 1 more then we had this season

Agreed, he's stayed longer than he had to and in so doing guarenteed us a financial return from his eventual (some would say inevitable) departure. For all we know he signed the contract extension on the strength of promises that have not been kept or potential developments which have not materialised. There has been no visible desire on the BODs part to fight tooth and nail to keep him and I wonder if his unrest has been long expected, accepted and even welcomed.

At the end of the day his talent deserves to be displayed on a bigger stage and he will have that, if not necessarily success, at Hull.

Rangi is staying at Cas, Hull couldnt get the visa sorted in time just confirmed.

Adam Pearson confirmed to Hull Daily Mail Chase not coming this year

Isn't the transfer deadline 2pm, giving them another 2 hours to sort it?

Oh and if he is stopping at Cas - I fully expect him to be booed on Sunday everytime he gets the ball from some of our pathetic fans

We are stuck with him for now unfortunatley IMO.
Can Rangi Chase build the bridges back with the Cas fans that he has systematically bull-dozed down over the last couple of months or will he do the normal sulking thing?

Meanwhile, pub landlords in Exscape breath a huge sigh of relief.

Yes, and I'll be one of them. RC has shown his true colours and Cas shirt or not, I'll no longer shower any praise on that pathetic little man

It must be a record, that's 4 years on a trot that he has signed for Hull and not turned up.

No winners here, Rangi will probably have to endure a miserable end to a glorious career at Cas and we dont benefit from not having to pay our biggest earner for one of the most meaningless 7 game periods in memory.

Don`t mean to be funny. But if you think that back line has the wow factor then it is no wonder Chase wants to leave.
You will aslo add Tansey and Gilmour and it is still pretty average at best.

The fans showed their feelings in the Giants game with the chant of "are you watching Rangi Chase?"

It will be interesting to see if he makes the 17 for Sunday. Personally I don't think Millward will include him cos he's going to be in that don't give a flying f... frame of mind.

“When I signed that, I realised that I’m happy here ... and the grass isn’t ­always greener."
Rangi Chase - 16th October 2012

I really hope that the above statement comes back and bites him on the harris
