Quite

Hahahah absolute you are an idiot. Either crawl back under your rock or focus on your own team (and that isn't an insult to them)

I hate results like this, because I can't decide whether I like it or not. It's like someone saying "do you want punching in the face or kicking in the stomach?".

On balance, I'll go with happiness. I think. Have a good season.

So do i.
It really riles other clubs fans up.

Don't think that's exclusive to Chase. Dobson was equally annoying last night as he continually failed to accept defeat as indeed Cockayne must have been to HKR fans.

His the type of signing that would bring silverware back to Saints IMO.

No, it just makes you wrong.

How am I wrong,he's not English in anyway

This really isn't difficult to understand.
Rangi Chase is not English.
However, he does meet the criteria to REPRESENT England. Seriously, it's been explained often enough.
It doesn't make you racist, you are entitled to the belief that only natural Englishmen should play for England, but non-Englishmen have been playing for England for years and years, Chase is not the first and will not be the last.

Did you think the same when Hape & Vainakolo played for England R.U?

Out of interest, what do you define as "English"?

Someone who lives, works and contributes to the society would be British to me then break it down into whichever country from there in which they're living in.

Yes,very much so,that was wrong as well.

Surely you must agree

And in response to the other question,I would regard somebody to be English if they actually were,2 year ago he played against England for,was it New Zealand Maoris,don't get more New Zealand than that.

If I were to say that Chase can be a fantastic player,when he's not trying to needlessly knock someone's head off,would that make Cas fans a bit happier.

Can't believe all Cas fans agree he's English now,or is it a case that you can say that but anybody else can't

Blame the RFL for allowing him to play for England and McBanana for picking him.

What do you actually mean though, what are the criteria for being "English"?

I do blame the RFL and McBanana,most definately

Well lets have a see what everyone's criteria is for been classed as English, born here? English parents? Not playing against England 2 year ago for the country of his birth and where he grew up?

Not quite the att was 9,103 all paying full price

Thats the BNP stance.

Criteria
Lived in England for more than three years,

It doesn't matter what everyones criteria is though does it. We (as supporters)can't have any control over the fact that he continually gets picked for England. What we should be debating maybe is why is'nt any other players putting any pressure on taking his place ?

Hmmmm. What about those born abroad but who move to England very early in life? Their only memory is of living in England but they are not allowed to play for the country where they have grown up? Is that what you are saying?

No,I agree with you on that one

Can we get back on topic plz guys , Cas v Leeds

Delboy66(aye of the tigers fanzine)

You can see how it's not always as clear-cut as simply your place of birth and the nationality of your parents, though?
Back on topic (sorry), that was the best defensive performance I have ever seen from a Castleford team.

It certainly was. We got the pride back in the shirt that was lacking since defeating Salford 12 months ago. Everyone playing for one another and a never-say-die attitude got us a magnificent win against all odds. I certainly did'nt see a win coming like that.

Many positives from the Leeds game IMO. Firstly Tansey - surely our best option for full-back. Millington looked stronger than ever. Shenton (my choice for MOM) was defensively outstanding, and Chase was back to his best. The highlight for me was the amount of work our young Cas produced forwards got through. Huby, Clark, Massey, Holmes and Milner. Sorry if I've missed anyone.

We should/will enjoy this victory dispite the other story.

Well done Tigers.

Top performance from 1-17, w had so much desire in defence and i thought we were very unlucky to not win by more, chase, holmes, tansey, clark, huby and hauraki all stood out for me and out played their opposite numbers.

When leeds had penalty after penalty and we had a man sin binned (which at the time to me looked very harsh considering the leeds team were on a warning when they were penalised for the same offence and they got away with it. Whats more it looked like the leeds player lost the ball attempting to offload. Either way from where the ref was stood it was impossible to see either way so he sin binned massey on an assumption) we showed real character in defence and worked for each other.

Well done cas, more of the same please
