Players like Rangi Chase are made for the big occasion (Danny Brough in the NL1 grand final anyone?) so if he is denied the chance to do what he does best against the biggest club in Yorkshire in Castleford Tigers biggest chance in a decade at the CC final then there is no justice.
Still no news from the club website which makes me think there are a few mind games going on here or at least I hope thats all it is!
IMO Chase will start against Leeds.

The incident happened on the Gold Coast and it would therefore be heard in the Queensland courts. Rangi wouldn't be flying to Sydney to answer this charge, another bit of accurate reporting from the Sun. As someone else has already posted, the original hearing was in Southport Magistrates Court and it follows, therefore, that any subsequent hearing would be in either Southport District Court or Brisbane Supreme Court. The lists are now online for Thursday 4 August and still no mention of Rangi, as there hasn't been all week. Something decidedly fishy about this whole story if you ask me.

I think the purpose of the court is to administer justice, and I don't think you get to not answer assault charges because you're a bit busy at work at the moment.

I still think there's something slightly odd about this story that doesn't quite ring true though.

I reckon they're planning to smuggle him into the Keepmoat in someone's kit bag and spring him on Leeds as a surprise at the last minute.

To be fair, Leeds are preparing forhim to play and we're preparing to be without him.

Something is a bit odd about this whole situation but TM has stated they've known about this for a long time

Well, thats my cover blown!

I think this whole thing is a bit of smoke screen. Of course Rangi will play and Matterson knows it he just trying to play the guessing game to confuse Mcdermott ( not very hard). Think about it, the latest he is in court can be Friday tea time (early morning our time). A Friday Evening/Night flight will get you back Saturday tea time at worst.

See, that's the puzzling part. Surely if that's the aim it'd be easier just to phone him up and mention "tactics" or "game-plans" or even "completion rates" wouldn't it? This whole Rangi Chase thing seems a bit over-elaborate.

Well thanks for clearing that up! I was of course speaking meteorologically.
I agree it does not ring true on the whole so I would expect that this has just been allowed to be blown out of proportion by the club in order to put a little doubt in Leeds collective minds and it seems to have worked if we are anything to go by.
I think he will play.

Ah, I thought you might be, but wasn't sure weather it was the case...
