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

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

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.

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

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

Imagine if you had kept Eden, Arundel, Shenton (albeit he has returned) and Westerman with some other players like Lynch, Manu & Brough.

Greg Eden
Kirk Dixon
Michael Shenton
Joe Arundel
Richard Owen
Rangi Chase
Danny Brough
Andy Lynch
Daryl Clark
Craig Huby
Brett Ferres
Willie Manu
Joe Westerman

A completely different team. You'd certainly be challenging with that side.

I think he may be referring to Clark and if he is he's right to be fair.

Some great players have come through at Cas but then they always seem to move on. It's the price you pay for being such a small town punching way above it's weight. They're a cracking club....even if they don't like us much.

Richard Fa'aoso was a beast the year Cas had Manu too, he would stroll into the team anywhere in the pack.

Chase has done a great job trying to do so much on his own at Cas. If he came to wigan he would have his role and it would be alot more manageable. I think we would see the best of him. He has the ability to break the line and that is something we need.
