I've got some "uncompromising" photos of him from his time with Leigh. Maybe if I blow them up and put them on placards, that will get into his head!

what we can be sure of is that we have a quality squad Jukesy and his team have prepared them brilliantly for the season ahead. He has said repeatedly that they can go into any game with confidence, but no doubt the coaching staff will have identified a number of must win games during the season.

Cas away is huge ask but as others have said, better to play them now than later in the season when no doubt they will be up there with the best. What will be the number of injuries (hopefully few and far between) as the squad is not the biggest and the tremendous support the fans give the team. We have seen both sides of that in the warm up games, the lads will need that support for 100% of the season, win lose or draw

Uncompromising isn't much use , it's ' compromising ' you need

I've got some of them as well.

Brough is better than Chase, did we lose sleep over him?? We wont win games worried about stopping opposition players, we will do our homework and have a plan to attack their weaknesses. Cas is a very tough opener away from home, lets compete well and enjoy, the rest will follow

Rangi was a great player, he hasn't been a great player for a few years now, he may well be a great player again - who knows. Think we have a Glenn Stewart playing on our right edge, don't think he will be losing too much sleep over Mr Chase. Keep our defensive shape and what will be will be, but we wont have a chance if we worry about them and lose track of what we can do, and Ridyard/Drinkwater can take defenses apart when they release late

Perhaps we have one or two who can't wait to get their hands on Rangi? I'm sure he will be very wary of some of his former 'mates'!

Don't think Chase is the one you need to worry about - Gale and Roberts with both most likely be in the squad. Should be a cracker!!

Looking forward to this game. Two sides that play decent rugby.

Its a difficult game as all are in this league but they are also winnable, let's play the Leigh way and give chase and co something to worry about rather than the other way round.

Correct !!!

I think Powell is missing a trick here. (just in case you are reading Mr Powell)

Rangi is one of the best full backs I have ever seen, He took to it like a duck to water, maybe try him out on Friday

*Remembers Batley away last season*

Must agree,Riddy is a master at it.Drinky's grubbers will pay dividends this season.

Rangi will be playing at 6 servicing our Right edge. He looks fit as a fiddle and ready to rip in also it seems he is well and truley settled back in at Cas (club where he wants to finish his career). Be afraid be very afraid.
Safe trip over.

Sometimes young men do daft things in life, sometimes they overcome those mistakes and become better people - hope that's Rangi, and of course he has a stinker

One word - Believe

he's been at it again, bad lad can't keep out of trouble

Who's done what, please be more explicit.

Cas have two 'characters' hope its neither

I'm sure he does however, you'd better hope its not this season, indeed, even this month

Good luck



Cas are waging a campaign over Solomona's 'alleged' broken contract! goodness, we can advise them on that


Last Season, our Coach! walked out on his Contract the week before the Season commenced, stating Honesty and Integrity were instrumental in his decision! He subsequently became Sky and the Rugby League press's hero! Contract Value? useless!
A matter of weeks later he signs a lucrative Contract to become Head Coach at a new club, 6000 miles away and presumably, none of this had been previously discussed prior to leaving Leigh


The Pied Piper then followed that, by recruiting eight or more players from our club to join him in his new venture!
Some of these contracted players didn't play at all during the season and some, played very little! Contract Value? useless!

Good luck with your contract 'Battle'!

Well looks like Rangi won't be causing us any problems on Friday. He's split from his wife again after doing the dirty on her. His wife has posted on her instagram and twitter accounts about his dirty deeds. So I doubt Cas will risk playing him with his fragile mental state.

Oh Dear!!!

Friend of mine was at the Saints match and he said Rangi was absolutely awesome, played like a man possessed. Similar to when he destroyed us in the 8's at Salford.

Looked like he was getting back on track

This wont help

Oh dear..Crunch time again,and Mr chase goes wanting.

He was rubbish in a Leigh shirt, hope he plays....

Doesn't appear to affected him at all. He's still smiling and happy enough training away (see Instagram). If everyone didn't work due to some issue in their personal life nothing would get done.

Yes he has had mental issues in the past and this might knock him back however there's always two sides to a story and only one side has been told.

We were told as fans to respect Rangi leaving.We have done that.Hope he plays to be honest.
