I live in NZ and was wondering how Rangi Chase was going for Castleford this year?

Doing ok scored quite a few trys now and is really starting to fit it and for a small guy he does not take a backward step to anybody.

rangi is doing well, in both attack and defence. looks like another good acquisition from the st george club, following on from steve robinson and wayne bartrim.

Now he has settled in, he has looked really sharp with the ball. Great footwork and a good dummy causes the defences a fair bit of trouble. Scored afew nice tries and hopefully he'll keep up the good form and continue to improve.

looking great for us on the hard ground, a marvalous step!, unforunately all he seems to do on the wet surface is fall flat on his face

I've been watching Cas for over 20years and I'd say that he looks like being the best no.6 I've ever seen at the club. At the minute, that honour would go to another of your fellow countrymen: Tony Kemp.

he still only young 2

Would like to see him partner Goldy in the halves, now that would be a dangerous combination

Where would Sherwin play? For me Shifty is your best option at 7. Chase would probably make a good interchange hooker as he seems to play more for himself with nifty footwork and speed off the mark.

Never been a fan of his, far too inconsistent and not a quick enough thinker for me. Give him time and space and he'll do the business. Against top teams you don't get that. Kicking game all too often wayward, today was a prime example.

Fair comment obviously I wasn't there today, thought we did a job on him too to be fair

Without Sherwin we have no one to organise the team. Goldy and Chase are to similar in style. You need a scrum half that controls the flow of the ball and sets things up for other players and a stand off who can play of him and be creative. For me Sherwin and Chase is the ideal partnership with Goldy joining the line from full back.

Organise? Is that it? What i've seen too many times from Sherwin is taking poor options when under pressure.

I'd like a scrum half that can also make breaks and score tries, oh and organise and set others up, and I'd love a scrum half with a consistently good kicking game.

People do stand off Chase, and Goldy, they are so sharp they cause indecision in defences. Indecision in defecnces create opportunities.

So i'd like to see them have a go--is that a crime

Whenever Sherwin hasn't played we've tended to struggle and when he's fit we've generally looked a much stronger side.

Thanks for the updates. Good to hear that he is going well .... he must be ready to come home to the Warriors !!




just joking

good to see he is settling in well and his best years are definitley in front of him.I was lucky enough to coach rangi back here in nz for the levin knights in local league and central falcons in the under 18 rep comp and he always had that x factor.

Now facing a 4 game ban for a chicken wing tackle

and they say it was coached into him at an early age

Not guilty thank god.

Rangi really is growing on me, improving all the time
