Rangi was in Freeport this afternoon.
For what its worth I think that the Cas and Leeds camp have known all along that Rangi would play, as the basis of the nosey parker article was a post on a forum where a leeds fan said to a cas fan he heard Rangi had to go back to oz and wouldn't play the next day nosey parker printed it.
Nosey parker bases his articles on internet forum gossip and just maybe the players have got a bit sick of him spreading rumor and gossip and decided to play along and say nothing even hauraki playing along. Gareth Ellis' father was in the paper about a year before ellis left for oz going mad that nosey parker was spreading gossip and rumor about gareth once he had said this nosey parker left gareth alone.
If this whole rangi story turns out to be nothing caused by a lazy journalist maybe Cas and Rangi should threaten some sort of action for defamation of character etc against mr parker.
