I presume souths will be all over the 4th brother. Shame as he's a talented lad, but money+Australia+playing with your brothers is too much to compete with.

Pretty sure he turned an offer down.

Wanted to forge his own career over here as opposed to following the rest of the tribe.

Correct, Saints want him for 2012 season.

Mentioned it before, the best centre OOC to me is Seb Raguin from Catalans.
Can play either right or left plus back row.
Surely worth an approach?

Easy, with Rangi Chase not eligible for England surely he can get a British passport therefore no visa problems and a move away to a bigger club on more money, I reckon that's the reason he chose to play for England in all honesty.

He signed a new 2-year deal to stay with Castleford until 2015 just last month. We won't be signing him anytime soon.

Use the money from the Joel transfer to sign him.

And before anyone says he won't fit into our attacking structure we need a change from that as most of last year teams got wise and our attack was a little impotent bar Sam.

With Chase at 6 and Finch at 7 our attack would be awesome.

Would Chase get a new work permit/visa following his problems down under?
Not a viable prospect due to that.
I'd prefer to bring Mellor in. We have the best U20s in the game, these lads have to be given their chance.

No, they're all at Saints aren't they?

With him playing for England I'm sure that allow him a British Passport hence no visa/work permit problem and a move to a bigger club i.e. us.

Mellor can slot in for Finch and replcae him next year or year after.

Not eligible to apply for citizenship until he's been here 5 years.

No way do we need Rangi Chase. Castleford can keep that very average player.
