I like that bit where the rhinos couldn't afford him! Well burgess cross and keiths wages would arguably be more than 200k combined easy! Plus we are the most profitable club in SL with a suger dady! If the f*ck knuckle had said GH is too tight to pay a fee he may have had a point! Also the nobody good enough bit?

Maybe he's like a contractual Houdini?

"Now, I want you to check that these are real chains and there is no way I can get out..."

Would have rather had Dobson from Hull KR than Chase. Fantastic player though he is.

Good point in a weird way! McGuire, Sinfield, Peacock, Buderus and webb are players who are too good to swap for chase! Leeds would be losing out on some of the best young backs in sl if Bjb, Watkins or hardacker were offered!

mcshane would be an option as he is quality but you have a good young hooker.

Ryan hall maybe but would you swap a winger for a half back? Guess not.

Do it is a tough one. It would have to be burrow plus a forward.

Or you could just give us chase and cash for Kirke

You can tell how far the Rhinos club have fallen from grace.

The fans are now arguing the toss with Cas fans and hoping to steal their best player!

Could be worse. It could be Cas trying to steal Leeds' best player.

And don't ask!

Have we fallen back to the days of Hardisty and Hepworth?

Chase isn't all that btw.

Not going to happen.

Kirke's just signed a two-year deal.

agreed

Chase is from Dannevirke, NZ. Anyone who has ever passed through the place could quite easily visualise it being twinned with Castleford, so yes... Chase could indeed be in love with the town of Castleford.

Halcyon days those, when class home grown players were produced, bought and sold.

SL is reduced to scrapping over NRL scraps instead.

It's not even the dumbest post this week.

Schwing.

Leeds do not need Chase and he is not that great. A fully fit McGuire any day. Brough or Dobson for me.

Chase is a great little player. If he were available and Leeds were not interested, plenty of other ambitious clubs would be.

Takes some work to get that 'teeth like burnt chips look'

I'm sure most clubs in Super League are interested in him. In how many cases that turns into any serious attempt to secure his services is another question.

It sounds like he might well be staying put anyway.

Chase is very tidy with the ball, and equally bad without it. We shoudln't be looking to trade Burrow in, we should be looking to adjust the style we play to suit the players we have. In the past we have played a "bump and offload" game which was suited to the pace we could offload to in McGuire, Burrow and Webb. All three are now slower than they were in their younger days (McGuire and Webb moreso than Burrow) so we need to adjust the gameplan to suit.

If you dropped Chase into the current Leeds structure he would look crap, so no surprise that we have looked "short" (no pun intended) at halfback this season.

There are those who think [ilittle[/i of him.

Sorry, Shrek moment. I'm better now.

What current Leeds structure?

Indeed. Chase won't alter that.

Chase makes thing happen with ball in hand, he's prepared to take the ball to the line and take defenders on and has a good short kicking game in the attacking zones, creating opportunities, building pressure through repeat sets. I'd suggest he would bring to Leeds some of what they are sadly currently lacking at half-back.

Whether Sinfield would appreciate his presence however.

Mr Bywater will be along in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.............

I might be interested in swapping Chase for McGuire.

Thus preventing us from seeing what one of the best support players in the league can do with one of the best players at "making things happen".
