If so then we've done the right thing. Chase is quality, but we can't afford to have all our eggs in one basket. I'll be happy with Holdsworth and look forward to see who the club have playing with him.

I'm not sure exactly why the UKBA are blocking him getting a visa for another team apart from cas

Not just sportsmen - A Fijian who has served in the British Army (Iraq,Afganistan etc) will be deported on the 15th August because of a minor misdemeanor against another soldier, He has a British wife and two children.

still think brough is coming over.. said it quite a few times and people have quickly squashed the rumour. But i think its a done deal

Just say your a Kurd and you might get tortured and he'll get to stay no bother

Lighten up man

I think living in Thailand with all those lovely lady boys and not being able to dabble because he's with his lass is taking its tole

Smailes confirmed on twitter danny brough won't be signing for the club. That should put an end to that one

No brough or chase then. holdsworth the best of the rest. Can see us signing myler too and wire get chase

I think myler and holdsworth could be a good combo if chase didn't sign. With them being so different to eachother it just might work, a bit like cooke and horne used to

So Holdsworth is looking likely
Chase is pending a visa (might not get it)
Brough now a no go
So who is the other player of the 4 that AP was looking at?

Darren Lockyer missing playing?




I wish

Just read on the cas forum that wire are in for chase

If he can't get a visa to play for us how is going to get one for wire?
plus if we're sorting that out now surely that means he can only sign for us unless wire try to apply for a visa themselves?

How can Wire get chase if he can't get a visa for another club?

If we can get a visa anyone can. If wire offer him a deal then they're probably more attractive to a player at present than we are

But we can't get a visa. That's the point he isn't ours, isn't it?

Just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't

Could be that wire are testing the ground to see if it's possible to get him a visa, if they feel they can we'll be in a bidding war

The way I see it is that we had him signed but red tape prevented him coming before the deadline. Now we're working on that red tape for him to come to our club through a new visa for next season. Wouldn't Wire also have to be currently working on this said visa for themselves if they wanted to sign him?

until anything is announced, think positively.. chase has said he wants to come to us.. by my understanding, the deal is done. were just waiting on the visa.. (similar to crocker)

Chase has signed pending a visa. If he gets one the contract is in place, if he doesn't it's void and he has to stay at Cas or go back to Oz.

He'll be playing for us or Cas next year, Wire have missed out.

How I've seen it, too
