Quote ="Ginger_Giant"Put Chase behind a beaten pack, with no runners and he is like every other stand-off: useless, exept he's useless and a lot more expensive.
Grix not creative enough? Looking at his attacking stats:
T TA TB AT C M AG CB E OF
Danny Brough 6 18 72 147 319 2005 157 22 23 13
Scott Grix 9 14 53 40 288 1350 108 14 21 16
Danny Brough only has four more try assists, looking at those stats I think he's creative enough to keep his spot next season. He also has a decent long and short kicking game, which I think was a bit of a missed trick in that all of the kicking duties seemed to go to Brough this season, which the opposition spotted and closed down very quickly.
For comparison, Warrington's first choice half back pairing. It's not exactly apples for apples, but it's something that shows Scott Grix is creative enough, with a decent pack and some confidence he will do just fine.
T TA TB AT C M AG CB E OF
Richard Myler 8 19 34 30 220 1155 100 13 26 16
Lee Briers 4 18 17 95 231 1017 84 6 33 5

Stats are brill mate. Rangi Chase played not only behind a beaten pack but behind a beaten team!

Rangi Chase 2 29 76 136 436 1995 75 12 33 44
So playing behind a beaten team and still managing to assist 29 tries, 44 offloads, and willing to take the on the defense more in tackle bust clearly shows that hes not useless as you state. One thing for sure, is that is grix and chase switched teams, grix's stats wouldnt look as good as chase's does in a poor team.
