Halcyon days those, when class home grown players were produced, bought and sold.

SL is reduced to scrapping over NRL scraps instead.

As said above,

Rangi has signed a deal, Worth about 200k a year running till the end of 2014. Should we get another license. He would like to sign again. He has no intentions on leaving the club, And definitely not to Leeds

Fwiw. Leeds couldnt afford him, The only offer you were making is player exchanges, And you dont have anyone in your team good enough to exchange

Warrington were willing to put silly money his way, But he has chosen to stay at Cas. And has requested there is no getting out of the deal. He loves the club, The town, The fans. So your stuck with an ageing 7 instead. Sorry

Leeds do not need Chase and he is not that great. A fully fit McGuire any day. Brough or Dobson for me.

Chase is a great little player. If he were available and Leeds were not interested, plenty of other ambitious clubs would be.

I'm sure most clubs in Super League are interested in him. In how many cases that turns into any serious attempt to secure his services is another question.

It sounds like he might well be staying put anyway.

Chase is very tidy with the ball, and equally bad without it. We shoudln't be looking to trade Burrow in, we should be looking to adjust the style we play to suit the players we have. In the past we have played a "bump and offload" game which was suited to the pace we could offload to in McGuire, Burrow and Webb. All three are now slower than they were in their younger days (McGuire and Webb moreso than Burrow) so we need to adjust the gameplan to suit.

If you dropped Chase into the current Leeds structure he would look crap, so no surprise that we have looked "short" (no pun intended) at halfback this season.

There are those who think little of him.

Sorry, Shrek moment. I'm better now.
