Yes Travis Burns would be a great replacement for me. He is not currently injured either. I am told a minor digreement with Cunningham has resulted in him falling out of favour. Could be a win win situation here.

If it`s true about Chase don`t forget we`ve got a fantastic talent in Ben Reynolds.

Harold has he left by mutual agreement or been sacked ?

Can he still claim contract money ?

Sacked.

Message board rumour Harold....for now !

I would be extremely tempted to throw young Ben Reynolds in at the deep end now.
Rangi was obviously a huge risk given his past 'issues' & has gone on to be more trouble than he is worth.

Ben has been 'blooded' a few times now, admittedly often as a substitute 6/7 but he has the raw talent to go far in RL.

The King is dead .... Long live the King.

He's a great player undoubtedly, but since he has arrived it's been one thing after another. Ben Reynolds has been outstanding and deserves his chance , IF it is true let's move on !

As you say Ben is a fantastic talent ,but if Chase has gone we need half back cover.Unless when McNally is fit he is going to cover.Smith has been outstanding since joining us but McNally last year made lots of and scored lot of tries from fullback

Play Greg there when he returns

So he was sacked a week ago then what? Everyone at the club went on holiday & forgot to tell anyone? This forum doesn't have a great track record on rumour accuracy. If it's not from the club it's not true.

I hope Rangi recovers from his injury, played well against Fev and was doing well against Batley before he had to come off. One he's back fully fit he could be just what we need to bring back the attacking flair we've been missing a bit of.

Much as I would have liked it to be different I thought he was having a poor game against Batley.

Time to move on. If true, bad signing and you cannot have poor behaviour within a team environment.

Stability in the half's needed.

Please don't let this drag on like the Kez debacle.

Unfortunately, wherever Rangi plays there is always a pantomime surrounding him.
He needs to go back to Cas where the culture of the club suited his temperament and needs.

I bet you are still hoping Michael Platt returns next week on the same basis ?

That is a fair comment you make in all seriousness . Until the club announce it there is nothing official.

In all my posts on this forum it can be noted I have never once started a new thread on a rumour but as I started this thread off I would just like to add for me to do that then I personally am as certain as I can be that it is correct.

However as Budgie states which is also important. I accept for now it can only be viewed as another message board rumour.

So there's nothing official then? I guess it's more important to you to be the first with the news rather than waiting for an official announcement.

I think there is nothing wrong with Harold's post.

On balance I think what he has posted is likely to be correct'but having given that opinion that is all it is ie my opinion.

No there is nothing official and your post could be misconstrued as substantiating my post so I will say no more. What I have learned here is I am not speaking to just a few of our loyal fans by posting on this forum.

I have just taken a call to say Dick Jones has copied my post on RL Fans all over interweb so whilst I stand by it, obviously that was the last thing i wanted.

Please feel free to delete it. No offence was intended. Lesson learnt.

Frank you are right, there is nowt wrong with Harold post,and you are entitled to your valued opinion, BUT it has become Leigh's policy to announce all Official News on this Forum,and for me it's just rumours till the Club officially announce otherwise.

I don't think anyone has (or will) take offence HRJ, it's just that people do take gossip/hearsay/rumour/speculation as fact and the next time they're up Leigh they will be telling all their mates, who will then get the story confused whilst passing it on to their mates or, as you have just learned, someone will read this forum then go and post about it on FB.

Also, I didn't word my post very well as I probably should have added 'if indeed there is to be one' at the end of my sentence.

I agree Brian.

When he has played he has simply been OK, but he has been MIA most of the season & I believe him to have a disruptive & negative influence on the Club & the Team which can only go to undermine the efforts of all around him.

So far I have seen nothing 'special' from Rangi & feel that there are better players with much better attitudes at LCRLFC.

I am sick of the Rangi circus already, time he got his caravan & shipped out AFAIAC.

We were warned.

I have the same opinion but I think Rowley used him as an excuse to take the Canadian job,without giving him a chance

I did question the wisdom of Leigh signing Chase before the start of the season. I thought that there was a good chance he'd cripple your promotion push with the usual disruption he's seemed to cause Salford.

Chase is one of those players who, if he turns up on the day, will win games by himself. Bradford had a similar player in Sammut. However, if he didn't show up then you were effectively playing with only 12 men on the field all afternoon and the trouble is that sort of player tends to go missing more than they show up

I would be sorry to see him leave as he can be a game changer, as we found out last year at Salford!
We would not have beaten London at LSV without him that's a fact! I thought he played well on his return at Fev and, he was going well against Batley until his injury!
At the beginning of the season we were debating how NJ could incorporate our three halbacks, Brierley, Chase and Ridyard into the team and now, one has left and the other may follow!
I hope with have a replacement lined up, I like Reynolds but he still lacks experience and this is an important season for us! Someone mentioned Travis Burns at Saints as possible replacement personally, I don't know enough about him to comment!

Oh bugger!

There's a danger you might become good now.
