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...

Listen here. My judgement might have been clouded, but there's no call for you to start fogging the issue. Right sunshine?

Fair enough.. I'll have to rain in my comments. Mind you there's snow point in doing much else.
