Good. Need him until we get cover. Hope he plays this week against Salford as its a 2 points we could get with Rangi in the side.

Seems the issues are over Rangi owing a sum of cash to his previous agent,once he pays this,the deal will and can go ahead.
If he doesnt pay up,he stays till season end with Cas,then wont get a new work permit visa so hasnt got too many options......
Hope he isnt holding out expecting Cas to chip in for him,now that would be too much !

rangi will end up staying until at least the end of the season. Also I believe Clarke will be here next season too. Not going to say the reasons why I think this but....we will see.

Hope you are right.

Friend of a friend stuff, I know, but I was told by someone who claims to know the wife of Warrington's head physio that his medical went through there a couple of weeks back.

Regarding Clarke i heard from my Cas mate that he had signed an extension last week obviously upgraded,just cant quite work out why they havent announced it yet if true.
You need to keep hold,great larker and future GB hooker imo.

Because it was a mistake and isn't true.

Someone posted a message on an old thread on Facebook, which lifted it to the top of the newsfeed of everybody.

This looked as if it was new news when in fact it was news of him signing in 2011.

Sounds very feasable that one, cheers Fully !

I was thinking the same thing? Only thing different is that Salford council/ john merry and ian stewart are very close with Marwan Koukash with it being them that Dr Koukash is paying back debt left by the last lot in charge and also brokering a deal to buy the controlling half of the stadium. could a council find a way of getting someone a visa?

I'd hazard a guess that Dr Koukashs' lawyers will find a loop hole and get him his visa IF Rangi wants to stay in this country

I have heard that Rangi doesn't actually prefer a move back to the NRL unless he has no alternatives?

Think your right there.
Rangi wanted to make England his home.

The only problem I see cas having with him is his wages.
Now I wonder who negotiated them, now let me think.

Not sure where he will go after his present visa runs out.

Pearson used very good lawyers in London for the Visa attempt not Hull, expensive is not the word !!
Doubt if even the good Doctor could wrangle this one !

Like I said earlier would having close ties with council leaders be the difference? I mean after all visa's are government granted? Wonder if Salford City Council have had something to do with this?

Rangi wants to stay in England because he wants to play for England, if he leaves then he cannot play.

One of the main reasons he didn't leave was because he felt that StGeorge and his agent were messing him around with how long the deal was taking to complete, they kept putting it off.

FWIW I think he will either be with us or at Salford next year. Although my money is on Salford because we cannot afford to have his wages on our books without finding another investor

he will stay at Cas. So will Clarke for next season at least.

so one rule for one and one for another! a big law suit could be on the cards from pearson and hull fc if chase is somehow granted a visa for salford and not for hull fc!

To sue who though? He'll just be following a huge paper trail if he wants to take on someone he has no idea has granted this visa? Like I said if the council have informed Koukash of a loop hole where by they could get Chase a visa then that's for one NOT illegal and two it's Pearsons super dooper lawyers fault for not knowing their stuff nobody else.

Prepare to be disappointed on both counts.

All avenues were explored when fc tried to get chase! What makes kou'cash' and his lawyers or council buddies any different

See ig didng take long for the salford fans to have kou'cashs' arrogance rub off onto them

Think you're trying a little too hard to be confrontational here, I didn't notice any arrogance in Red League's post myself.

They explored all the avenues they were aware of. Maybe other lawyers will find other ways. Otherwise there would just be one lawyer for the whole country...

No arrogance on display that I could see. If you could point me to it I'll change my mind.

Salford Council isn't involved, and would hold no sway whatsoever over the Borders and Immigration Service, or whatever guise they have now become. My guess is negotiations will be going between the legal teams, but what the outcome will be is anyone's guess. I would love to see Chase at Salford, but I am not holding my breath. I feel or Cas over this issue, we lost our best players last year because of money problems, it is not a pleasant outlook.

We will see. Like I said, Im not stating the reasons why I think this as Im not getting into the friends brothers wife thing. Just be prepared to see Rangi and Clarke n Cas shirts. The only way things will change is if ridiculous money gets offered to the club which they cant refuse.

Says in our local papers that Salford are waiting for Cas to name a transfer fee?
