chase is a flat track bully to quote someone on here.
never does it when it counts

Man of the Match for both the Exiles and the NZ Maori vs. England, probably the biggest games he's played in.

Not coincidentally the only two times he's played as part of a decent team, though it's hardly flat-track as those teams would have been underdogs against the opposition.

Chase is an excellent player, and would look even better surrounded by higher-quality players than he is now.

Chase is a good player who looks outstanding in a team which doesnt expect much. He is a world beater to fans who are happy to forgive and make excuses for his mistakes.

He is a player whose moments of quality are remembered by fans supporting a team short on quality and his struggles forgotten by fans supporting a team which struggles a lot.

It is easy look good when you can run riot against poor teams, and other people are blamed when you cant impose yourself.

It remains to be seen if Chase could play at the level you need to with a top side, with the consistency you need with a top side, and under the pressure and scrutiny of a top side. At 25, signing a 4 year deal with a lower mid-table side I think we have our answer.

Big fish tiny pond. Didn't want to take on a challenge of a big club

Hardaker for stand off then next season

Till next season then I am sure you will find a new youngster to campion for the position. Like to see him given time at centre to be honest. Also like to see a bit of meet put on as well, but not too much

It could happen if Burrow moves to hooker next year. Another possibility is Webb in the half-backs and BJB moving to full-back.If Smith leaves are we a back short?

Personally would have smith at FB, BJb on wing, but I wouldn't have retained Webb. Suppose he gives some competition for spots.

If Hardaker is a regular starter next season, nantwichexile will have proclaimed him past it by August and be campaigning for the captain of the under 9s to be given a chance in the first team instead.

Behind Leuluai/Buderus/Peacock/JJB/Bailey etc rather than Fozzard/Milner/Massey/Jones/Holmes etc

Go figure.

Indeed, when we were battling you guys for silverwear most saints fans didnt rate any of your above mentioned Leeds players, except maybe peacock. I wonder what changed?

Are you trying to say I rated the Leeds pack that was reaching GFs less highly than Fozzard/Milner/Massey/Jones/Holmes?

If not, perhaps you could explain your point as I appear to have missed it.

Nail on the head

Chase would have been a fantastic signing. Has played consistently well in an average team - a bit like Schoey for us in the 90's - which is always a sign of a decent half.

Guessing instead you're part of the bring back Senior contingent ?

Nope.

Go on...admit it.

Never.




Unless you have cake.

Do you have cake?

Only when it's fresh....nothing past its sell by date for me

He's a good lad is Callum, either a hooker or scrum half.

I don't think there are many in that club, but having a few players over the age of 22 in the squad won't do any harm you know

Go on then....I'll be happy with Chase/Buderus.....oops

what am i going to do with the Hood at nine campaign teeshirts you sold me

Excellent news. Hooker or scrum half you say?

He should start at 6 against Wire tomorrow.

I know this thread is almost a month old but can't resist.







Don't worry though you are still ahead of us in terms of new player signings with our big fat zero!

You probably need to address the lack of a coach before the lack of players...
