Yes he did, so what is different about Chase's visa compared to McGoldricks?

Can someone please explain how an English international player who only played for England a few weeks ago needs a visa to play Rugby in the UK?

The UK government and its employment law/policy doesn't care about RL international qualifications.

I feel faint ,chase n brough got to be to good to be true

I did tell you it won't be easy, His wasn't an original Visa, He got his and managed to escape Jail on behalf of him turning his life around and been a great example in the community. I think it will go through, But it isn't a formality.

Ryan McGoldrick had no convictions back in Aus, Hence why his was rather simple. Rangi Chase's is more complex.


As for the England thing. He has to have been in the country 3 years ASAIK to qualify to play for England on residency ground, And has to have been a resident 5 years to become a british citizen. So it was mentioned a bit back.

Therefore, He should come off quota when he gains that British Passport.

Perhaps we should get him on a plane to have a beer or three with the King of Tonga then?

I must agree with the Drovers fans on twitter that Rangi Chase (the current Man of Steel & England SO) is crap, bring back Chris Thorman

If we have to wait until next season, then so be it.

It'll still be a sensational signing.

Could do although the last time someone tried that they looked and made the club they played for look foolish, Who was it



At least Chase could produce something out of nothing,
Thorman was well, he was something thats or sure

Until he takes to the field in Black and White we won't know but i do like the idea of a Chase Seymour partnership

This guy seems well connected.

Huddersfield have been officially approached regarding Brough, seymour offered to them in the deal. Brough wants out at hudds.
Djb ‏@djb2708
the transfer fee is 50k upfront with add ons based on trophies and league placings. The club getting a friendly out of us too for 2 seasons
Djb ‏@djb2708
@djb2708 4 year deal signed and will commence once work permit and increase in length of visa stay arrives.
Djb ‏@djb2708
Weve done our homework on this one and been told all will be ok but cant do it online like goldy did. Takes a bit longer.
Djb ‏@djb2708
Rangi cant fast track his application, hes gonna get one but he cant do it online as it needs approval by senior staff, 2 weeks max

Chase AND Brough


Still getting my head round having Chase but Brough coming back as well?!?
I always wanted Brough back over Chase but would've/will be happy with Chase and Seymour as our 6 and 7 next year
If we can't get Chase deal done before Friday how about getting Brough in now then if this is all true?

Interesting times. Possibly.

I'm extremely happy to prove you otherwise, but i never doubted it!!

Best not mention the good chance his half back partner will be brough had I, you know incase I made it up purely to get attention on a message board forum!!

Don't panic the deal is done just taking longer for the visa to be sorted. He's coming.

CAn we register him without the visa being in place?

Best for Chase/Brough to come next season imo as if any play next week it wont do their confidence any good when we get mullered by Rovers

Does anyone seriously believe we'll get chase for 50 grand and a couple of friendlies?

Probably and almost certainly not. However Cas might see the money saved an a big long term contract as part payment ?

chase and brough

Many people didn't believe we'd get Chase end of. So yeah I can believe it.

I think he meant Seymour + 50k for brough not chase

I have just been reading the HDM site about this and really hope its true.

Makes me laugh so much that anything to do with FC 75% of the replies are from the Dobbins. I have to keep scrolling down every 4 to 5 messages to find an FC one lol

Anyone thinking we'll get Ellis, Brough and Chase should have a word with themselves.



Anyone else heard owt on O'Meley?

If we sign Brough and Chase I'll but two passes for next season!

Sorry if I'm being a bit thick here but....

Surely when Cas gave him a 4 year deal they secured his Visa for that length or didnt forsee ant problems with it. Otherwise they have a player on payroll that cant play? Unless there is a get out clause should he not get one?

And if he does have one wouldnt matter which club he played for.

Some of it doesnt make sense.

I will be happy when its done if it gets done though.

Rumours about Brough handing in transfer request seem to be picking up pace aswell

I love it, I first found this board when there were rumours flying around about us maybe signing Berrigan and the rumours thread was ace, back to the good old days with this thread
