Chase is over? was there a Chase for Chase?

... Was it a 1 horse Chase ...?

Benji is the next maverick available at the right price

I think it's Super League or bust this year for Leigh.

Why ?

I have very mixed views.
Firstly, I think it needs to be said that the person doing most of the chasing in this scenario was Rangi Chase's agent. Through June and July he was offered to almost every SL club but all declined for various reasons. With Rangi wanting to stay in England, his options were very limited and Leigh was the best of very few options for him.
Havi said that, I really hope it works out for him. I loved watching him at Cas and his decision to move to a club run by an absolute imbecile and coached by someone completely out of their depth was a bad one, even if his bank balance says otherwise.
Unfortunately, Rangi always seems to be one of those who always thinks the grass is greener somewhere else very quickly and is perpetually looking for his next move. If he plays well, I fear it will be a short matter of time before he starts to think he wants to play at the top level again. I hope Leigh fans are clear that the man has no loyalty toward anyone.

how are leigh under the cap?

Finally found his level

Cap went up by £300k yesterday. Think that was why we were holding off on his signing despite it supposedly being a 'done deal' ages ago. It has obviously been in the pipeline for a while but needed to be made official that the cap was being raised before he could sign for Leigh.

So .....


Your a fan of the Jihad ...

Your interests are Death & Destruction

You're a Professional Pillock !!!


& we should respect your opinion why ?

I'm curious as to what would happened had the salary not been raised

I see one of Leigh's prize prats has come out of hiding. Wonder when the rest of your cronies will follow?

So much talent and potential thrown away.

I imagine he'll have a lot of regrets in years to come.

Why is he playing in league 1 i thought it was the champ he is playing in

Hope he likes Lobby...

What's not to like about lobby?

Rangi's been living in Leigh for a while - obviously to become immersed in our wonderful traditions and culture - of which, lobby eating is just one part!

I understand everyone's views here but one thing you can't all deny is we have just become a lot tougher proposition in the 8'd we were bullied up the middle in the 8's last year out pack is good enough for super league playing off the back of riddy Ryan and rangi I'm very confident of being in super league next year

He'll fit right in at Leigh...

Why don't you contribute with something original instead of copying other people's crap.

I don't know Leigh come under constant fire, they play attacking rugby, Beaumont is actually putting his money where his mouth is & they are attracting interest from national press?

Salford struggled last year with these players. Don't you think teams in SL will improve this year? I think it gives Leigh a better chance of getting to the Million Pound game and competing but there is still the obstacle of lack of intensity in the Championship which will have a major bearing on how well Leigh perform in the 8s.

In more ways than one from what I saw last season.

What a dramatic fall from grace for Rangi Chase!

In 2011 he was Man of Steel and first choice half for the England team, there was even offers from the NRL in the ether Just 3 seasons later and still only 29 years old he's consigned to playing in the lower divisions for Leigh.
