Rangi Chase has said he'd be open to an offer from Wigan.


Castleford are apparently indicating they would accept an offer of £350,000.

He's a good player and would definitely fit our play style.

Looks like basil is already spending the dosh !

You know how sometimes news mid-season can derail a team Ala Huddersfield, I hope that it might work in an opposite effect for us!

Remember the last half back you took off us

They can keep him - wouldn't waste good money - he is not a player that would fit into Wigan's style or Wane's World

Why?

strange thing to say

he'd be a star at 6 for us

Many said that about Eric before he came.

I would consider Chase to be better now than Eric was before he came here.

Orr was in a bad team, Chase wont be

Would be pleased to see a player of his quality sign for Wigan, however I have my reservations whether he will fit in.

Yea we won the super league in 1998 with Tony Smith, the other fella who shall remain useless and nameless was part of our Maurice decaying period when he would sign anything that could carry a ball.

Don't you know its the new in thing to say on this board.

It goes well with previous ones like people making a case for Hock at prop or Joel at centre.

I think its hilarious people try to some how make out players with obvious talent can't make it at a team like Wigan?

Teams as drilled and organised as ours can still have flashy players who can play off the cuff.

If you took some opinions as gospel on here no successful team in the world would have any flashy players that like to take the line on.

350k is steep tho and I'd certainly look down the player swap route.

But he clearly robbed Sam of MOS, thats enough reason not to sign him

We should tell Cas that we will swap him for Tomkins....


...and when they release him send them Logan.

If thats the opening offer and Chase is up for it, a cheeky return offer, with Chase unsettled may see him coming this way with a few pence left to bid for Dobson. Anyone know is Eastmond has bombed in Yawnion yet?

I think if we offered 250k cas would accept.

After turning down 300k already?

I'd hardly take the Sun as gospel. They've probably got mixed up with Wire's supposed bid for Daryl Cark.

I thought that too but I doubt Wire would offer 300k for Clark.

Well there again it is The Sun so they probably got everything in the whole article wrong

I'd say good riddance to him now if he wants to go, don't blame him, Wigan are a winning team

If I were Cas i'd be asking as much for Clark as I would for Chase tbh. He's younger, he's also English just like Ronald Chase and has massive potential.

A super young player.

always the story with Cas though, we produce some of the best young players in the league and we let them go, saddens me

Lets hope Wigan and Wire enter a bidding war for chase, top dollar wins.

£500k transfer final bid with a top dollar salary to go with it

Seriously???? Chase??? Produced by CAS???

I believe we're looking down that route. Remember we have the Joel Tomkins money to pay the transfer fee.

I'll be ecstatic if we sign Rangi Chase. He's one of the best players in this league. Sam Tomkins should have been MOS last year but Rangi Chase deserved to be in the top three. Him and Sam in the same side is a frightening prospect. The way our dummy runners create space for outside backs him and Tomkins with their footwork, balance, acceleration off the mark and speed is a mouth watering prospect.

Got it in one. I would rather have Brough but I'd take a Chase/Smith partnership.
