ahh.... its a pity Chase doesnt have the support play game of Myler then.....he probably put someone through a gap and stood around admiring his pass........

either way I wont be convinced by him....

Lets not forget he was man of steel last year...as voted by his fellow professionals so he must be half decent

its clear for all to see Chase's Game needs structure he doesnt know what he's going to do next, so how his team mates can expect to is a mystery.

compare to Briers in the Semi final setting up hodgsons try ........

and your all thinking setting it up he did nothing it was all Hodgsons work....

well Hodgson was about to go left (looking from the huddersfield end) but Briers screamed at him to stop, waved his arms and told him to wrap around right a quick clean ordinary bog standard pass put hodgson in the line as the extra man and he chimed over without a hand on him. Briers' work no danger ..... i dont see chase doing that in that situation ever. he'd have made a queenio pass to Riley 30 yards away...

On the button. Briers can control the tempo and direction of a game. Chase can't.

What a surprise; a team getting rinsed starts throwing the ball around starts posting points. The defending team, then get to grips and start to control the game again.

Gronk; Cas knocked the ball on stretching out over the line once. Don't let wishful thinking get in the way of things.

Spot on.

Unfortunately there are few players in the world that can play what's in front of them the way Briers does.

I don't care how old Briers is and how much speed he loses, vision and hands are the last things that go.

dont want chase any where near the h&j unless he can mow the turf...rather have briers here for the next 10 years...chase well over rated...lomax at saints is the 1 id have quality young and can only get better

too many pubs around the HJ for chase to be any good playing

He started being effective when xe started to stand still and watch him rather than tacking him.

playing him is easy let him run down the line faking 3-4 passes last man there tackles him sorted now whats his plan b?

Dobson would be a decent replacement for Briers as he can control a game to about as close a standard to Briers in SL

I don’t get this ‘I don’t rate chase’ stuff. Any half back will drift in and out of games. He can’t control the entire game, as there are periods where they don’t have the ball.

We could have lost today. I never felt they were going to come back from 34 points adrift, but they should never have been that far behind. They should have scored at least three before half time and Chase was the creator of each of the chances they bombed in the first half.

Then in the second half he was as good as I’ve seen this season from anybody. What he did for Youngquest’s second try was worth the entry fee and 50 mph M62 journey alone. He was absolute class today, brilliant, and I’d love to see him in wire jersey next season.

This. We stood off and let him play in the second half.

Even if that were true, and I'm not saying we did, but he didn't take the invitation to play.

I can’t believe anyone who was there today didn’t walk away from that game thinking how well he had played, I honestly can’t, I don’t understand it, it doesn’t make sense, it’s crazy.

Sorry to go on.

1905 - For some reason a lot of your fans & Wigan fans don't seem to rate him that highly. Maybe its because he doesn't perform as well against the top sides, but maybe a lot of that is down to the side he plays in. Kind've hope he plays really well for the remainder of the season and a bidding war opens up.

I thought he has signed for Hull FC and was moving to them in the close season?

From what I could here on the radio it wasnt Chase who changed the game but the introduction of Danny Orr.

That's because Orr is probably the only name Graham Lovett could pronounce correctly.

I'm completely with 1905 on this and thought Chase was brilliant and at times un-playable in the second half especially. If Hull can harness his talents into a structured game plan then he could turn them from perennial under-acheivers into serious, genuine contenders. I wish we had been able to sign him when we tried.

Eh? Any half back worth his salt should be looking to control the game from the off and direct his team around the park.

I don't think anyone here doubts the ability of Rangi Chase - just his consistency with it. That's the issue.

And attitude

Rangi i don't want to leave NRL and go to England
then no one wants him so he changes his mind
Rangi i've only ever wanted to play for New Zealand
but they don't want him so he changes to England
Rangi i really love it at Castleford, play out my days here
but want's to sign for a club at full cap like Wigan or Hull.

Commits crimes, and retires players for the season, no thanks not even if he is man of steel.

I thought he was going to Hull as well - obviously provided the full England international can get the required clearance, but that's a seperate farce - but if it isn't definite and we can get him, I definitely would.

Sign him he is unique.

The "Chase to Hull" move hit problems due to changes in VISA legislation in recent weeks.

Chase is a quality player in a position where there isn't a lot of quality about.

Yeah, I’d like you to have Briers for the next ten years too! Another good choice hombre. I'd let him cut the grass, he's nowt else to do these days.





Rock 'n' Roll.
