Absolutely correct Gronk.

Internet forums' are not the place for unfounded, libelous rumours and anyone crossing the line should be dealt with.

Rumours like this can blow out of all proportion.

Was the pun intended?

thats right...has gentle signed for us yet?

So Catalans are going to have Dureau, Bosc, Pryce and Chase? Seems very unrealistic.

Some of us do have lives.

I can only reaffirm what Gronk has said. Internal investigation still ongoing hence no news. Don't believe everything you hear.

I don't reckon they are but you have to look how long is this taking, the longer it go's on you have took at the possibility that they may be true, I personally thought he was just trying to engineer a situation forcing the club to allow him to leave, I thought he had probably had his head turned whilst part of the England camp. Sure we will find out at least half of the truth sometime soon, I reckon he's already gone, and if he has and the money go's to building a better squad I think you will be a better team for it.

Thats doing the rounds in Cas, or so the Cas fans i've spoken to today reckon.

But we all know how quickly rumours travel.

Not heard anything myself just my take on it, we could all be a million miles away.

Given the extent of rumours this season, I would probably say that is the case.

It's taking longer because the investigations and meetings with the Disciplinary Board at Cas are still taking place. It's nothing to do the guesses by people about what happened that weekend that people are peddling.

The reason this situation is taking so long is because its not just a matter for the club. Dont be suprised if Rangi Chase losses his visa over this which is even more sad for cas as they wont get a penny for him.

Do you know more than most? Why would he lose his visa for breaking the clubs 72 hour no drinking rule?

No it isn't.

If this was just a club matter for drinking they would have released a statement by now. There is more to this than just drinking which is why the club are keeping it quiet .

No: it's because there has been no meeting until tonight.

You know that for sure fully 100%

I was referring to the delay in time.

I don't know what he's done or supposedly done. However, the delay in time isn't for what has or hasn't happened. It's purely because the Disciplinary Meeting wasn't until tonight.

Ok fair do's.

There are lots of people all have views of what has happened. Some people really want to beleive this is the lesser but I feel not. Rangi Chase in Super League is good for the game and I think it will be some time before he is seen again.

Will see what happens but it looks like their is a reporting ban on this too. If you want to beleive that the club haven't had time to decide on the outcome of this when he is your star player feel free to do so. But don't be shocked when the worst keep secret I rugby league comes out.

Why not enlighten us lesser mortals as to what this secret is then you can return with a smug "I told you so" comment?

Smug no this is a hot RL topic and this is a free discussion.
It is a sad day for a man with a young family and a loss to the game if true. All I am saying is there are many runours of a more serious nature that people don't seem to want to beleive. I have spoken to a very good source and a fellow player has told someone the same.

If people want to believe he has missed two key matches and there is no update due to breaking a curfew and a couple of pints good on them. All I am saying is don't be blinkered as that story doesn't add up. There is mention of police involvement too and all this adds up to something or a more serious nature.

Put on a public forum what this? Until the investigation is complete and public this must remain speculation.

If this is a full scale disciplinary process, involving an investigation and subsequent hearing, then the delay is understandable - there are certain proscribed timescales that have to be followed and it's very easy for the respondent to delay the process by, for example, exercising their right to be accompanied at the hearing then advising that their representative is not available until x date.

Equally, if as some people have alluded to, there is involvement from a third party, it's not unusual for them to insist that they be allowed to conclude their own investigations before the employer commences theirs; for example, a criminal investigation will always take precedent over an employment matter - in those circumstances, it's perfectly normal for an employee to be suspended on full pay.

As much as an employer might want to get matters like this boxed off quickly, it can harm them later if they don't follow the correct procedure; their own disciplinary process has to be adhered to and they have to able to demonstrate that their actions were 'fair and reasonable in the circumstances.'

I don't have any inside information on Rangi by the way, just making a general observation about the timescale involved.

So to sum up, you're just peddling rumours that are bull, being a typical Wakey fan.

Got it



He's missed 2 games because the meeting only took place yesterday HTH.




ffs

I was actually trying to suggest that Cas appear to be handling the matter properly.

Isn't 'ffs' a circumvention of the swear filter by the way and as such, a breach of the AUP?
