I really do hope both of these rumours turn out to be untrue...............

I'd have thought that the Chase story would have come to light before now if it was true. After a quick look on google I cannot see any other story on this supposed court case (although there a plenty of stories about Chase's previous cases from the past which we already know about).

There may be some truth about the Clarke story, as any decent agent would go to the press/club saying ** teams from the NRL, and ** top teams from the superleague are after my client in order try and get a better deal for their client with their current club to earn more money for his client (and in turn, more money for himself).

I tend not to believe anything Dave Parker writes to be honest, and I'm sure we will know if this is true in coming days....

The thing with this is, there have apparently been whispers before now that this was on the cards- but personally, I just cannot see what reason he would have to head over there, or what the court case could be for? Is it for a conviction before he joined us?
I just fear there is no smoke without fire...

I was told last season that chase had a case to answer in oz , also its not just a slap on the wrist hes expecting.
The clark thing is another example of penny pinching , i understand the club have stalled on their promise to enhance his wage and could lose him as a result.
the question is who has let it get to the stage where cas are now been held to ransom by agents for one of our own kids ?

It could be the GBH charge from October 2008?

That is what came to my mind. I'm no legal expert, a is three year wait about right for a case like this?

It's Dave Parker so the whole article is 90% likely to be bull...I mean look at his quote from a "Cas insider" the man is a fraud and gets all his info from forums and making crap up.

I can see you guys having some trouble competing in the market place in the off season. It seems your planned raid on the Wakey academy has well and truly gone Pete Tong after Tuesday’s events. Funny how things turn out isn't it? If we had off gone down you would of well and truly been the top dogs round here, looks like it's not to be.

What are you on about?



If you hadn't noticed, this is a thread about Dave Parker and his potential libellous article about Rangi Chase.

Not to mention Wakey being saved by the Crusaders makes ZERO difference to the recruitment plan for Cas.

It makes a massive difference now you have to compete with spending power of Glover. The players you where planning to raid from the Wakey academy will no longer be available.

I'm talking on the wider theme here of you not having the financial clout to keep hold off your young talent as in Clarke and possibly others.

Yes they would be, but they also wouldn't be good enough anyway if they can't get in the Wakey first team already



An article by Dave Parker is usually all bull, this is the same here Clark is under contract and the same story crops up every year just swap the players name, the other year for example Richard Owen was going to the NRL according to Parker.

And again, what has this got to do with anything? Stop trolling and get back to your own board.

I agree Parker is a bit of a dart thrower with his predictions but he did call it right when you couldn't afford to keep Shenton and Westerman. History repeating itself again

Couldn't afford to keep them? Jesus christ you are an idiot
Shenton was OUT OF CONTRACT and wanted 130k a year, Wigan told him where to go making demands like that, as did Cas - do you think he's worth that kind of money?
Westerman had a year left on his contract and stated his desire to leave, so Cas sold him for 150 grand instead of letting him go a year later for free, brilliant business.

But lets not let facts get in the way of your trolling, back to the ignore list you go

Some grossly inflated figures there I think. I'm sure the club would have you think that. At the end of the day they can't say we need to sell our best players because we can't compete in the market place. The off season should be interesting I wonder what the excuse will be for selling Rangi

i think castleford will be very happy with the youngsters coming through the system has will wakefield,ive always said there is plenty to go round both clubs,from what i was told the only wakefield players cas were interested in were mariano and paul johnson with the other been kieran hyde although my wakey pals tell me they would pay for the taxi if it meant hyde came to cas but heyho,like others have said whats this to do with a possible court case against chase i dont know.

i understand your pleased to have got a new franchise but the all conquering wildcats team asnt quite taken shape just yet and isnt likely to anytime soon.

Think deeHell is holidaying on shutter island. Never seen such deluded conspiracy theories.

Anyway I will give you one thing - I am quaking in my boots at the spending power of Glover.

I mean, after the way he's been throwing the cash around bringing players in this year to ensure you get a good league position and keep your SL licence... that's only the tip of the iceberg, eh?

I know there were no players available to sign, but all those massive transfer fees he paid to buy players out of their contracts with other clubs? Impressive.

I wish we had such financial might. We truly are in trouble for next year.

I'm told you where after a lot more than them 3. For the produce and sell policy to work you have to keep the conveyor belt going. Trust me it's been done at Wakey for years.



Maybe we are on the crest of a new dynesty?

Don't fear too much Monkey the chunky transfer fee you'll get from Rangis sale should give you a bit off thump in the market place.

Shame he signed that nice new contract to ruin your trolling isn't it?

cant see wakey been able to tempt many of the quality cas youngsters coming through,cas have shown i9n recent years that it pays to bring through local lads and that policy will continue,has for the conveyer belt well maybe if it would have been oiled a little better than players such has adam milner,nathen massey and oliver holmes would be playing for their home town teams but the facts are they were badly let down on scholorships they went elsewhere.

Anybody notice DeeHell vanished from the Cas board between the administration and franchise decision?

wonder why that is...

This whole Glover Wakey thing is pointless, the salary cap and percentage of turnover governs the amount a club can spend on players, there is a sliding scale for exactly that reason. So, the wealth of any benefactor is mediated through those mechanisms. If Wakey can improve their position and compete better in the league - brilliant, well done them - matters little to most readers of this board.

The rest of the thread, interesting indeed, but thats about it; speculation about court cases etc is tricky - there are lots of court cases where people COULD be called to appear, but largely depending how people plan to plead and the legal implications they are rarely forced to do so.

Exactly...lets see if the citizens of Wakefield come through the gates in enough numbers to start their new "Dynasty".

Good luck to them though...even if it tough listening to a smug git attempting to derail yet another thread.

As for Rangi,well i guess the club will know the full details, but won't say anything in case it affects the ticket sales for the semi final.

Maybe Terry Matterson started the rumour and is just playing mind games with leeds


The club should make a statement to put this to bed as their silence is worrying me!
