You think this is to do with Cas, give it a rest it and wise up, it would be the same what ever team he played for, just the same as Chris Heighington he shouldn't be nowhere near a England side as well or any other antipodean who qualifies.

A classless decision from a joke coach and a further reason to totally ignore international RL, if any were needed.

We might but what would be the point if we win with players who are not English?

If you had actually read and understood the majority of posts on this thread you would see that people are concerned/annoyed about the selection of non English players for England not just Mr Chase who just happens to be the player most recently in this position. I would take the exact same view if Chase happened to play for Wakefield.

EEEEAWWWWW

If he was that good he would be playing for New Zealand. The simple fact is that no Kiwi or Aussie will ever turn out for England unless they are not good enough to be selected for their own country so just as in SL we end up with the Aussie/Kiwi cast offs.

First nobody is posting anti-Cas literature and second, it will take more than just Rangi Chase if England are to win anything. Who's next Morrison, Carmont or Richards?

Watch the video on the Super League site. He clearly says he made the approach initially through Mick Robinson and then he contacted Fatnamara direct.

Man of Steel.

Widdop and Lomax for me with Burrow on bench to cover halfback/hooker for me... No need for Rangi

Superman aka Clark Kent mild mannered reporter at the Daily Planet.

Not even close..Its Rangi chase

To be honest, chase might not even get in the side with how well widdop has done at the storm this year. He is an amazing player is chase, but obviously hes not going to get in kiwi squad with marshall at the helm. To be honest if he gets in the england side and plays, you think the aussies are gonna allow him to play the type of rugby he's been playing all season. It will be boys against men again with the few usuals that do this country proud eg Roby Graham Westwood Sinfield.

The thing is chase is virtually guaranteed to play scrum half for England i think as his form is better than DB and he has better skills than Lomax which is a shame. I dont think he should be in the squad.

Anti Cas literature, you really need to get that chip off your shoulder.

I’m of an age where I actually remember beating the Aussies, with a team full of home grown players, to beat them with help from loopholes, would be a hollow victory to me.

My greatest concern is, by selecting foreigners, however gifted, is denying English lads getting their chance to pull on an England shirt.

Yes it is the issue being discussed on this thread, its plain and simple.
I don't think anyone will disagree with poor overseas holding back young English players but thats not the topic issue, is it.

If that's the case, then I take back my first point.

FWIW - the 3 year residence rule is a joke. It pretty much opens the door for any Kiwi or Ausie over here to play for the English national team, as a significant number remain over here for that period of time. It's more of a work placement than anything else.

I lived in the USA for 8 years, maybe I can play for them lol

Sinfield! Are you having a laugh.

All Sinfield has ever done for England is well NOTHING.

I'm not botherd about chase he is not our player...

Fantastic quote my thoughts too, well said.

"rangi chase ... found guilty of assault to a female..BIG guy!"

You need to look a bit closer to home for that. You've just got rid of him today haven't you ?

I don't see Leuluai, Carmont or any other auzzie/kiwi being selected, what a farce. Hope McNamara's reign come crashing down in flames!

Never seen sinfield do a bad thing wrong, to say he gets played at hooker and stand off at test level

He plays better out of postion than most do in the proper postions which is a testoment to the guy.

Hypocrisy, look it up.
Johnson convicted, sacked.
Chase convicted, extended contract.
