Maybe chase has his visa and now Cas are moving the goalposts and asking for more cash . Could they do this ? Does seem an odd statement after what hull have said on the deal .

Of course they could, if nothing has been signed. Let's remember he's still their player, they pay his wages.

I don’t think Chase will have his visa yet for Hull FC, as that would mean he presently has two visa’s, for Hull and Cas. I think the visa application will only have been approved should Chase later move to Hull FC.

But I agree that Cas are possibly trying it on for more money.

That's a very good point, and one Chris28 could maybe answer? Could he have a pre-dated visa, or would he only be able to play for FC if it'd come through already?
Would certainly quash the 'it's already here' rumour!

I don't know.

Seriously I don't, but if he gets the visa on the basis of the relationship, there are no work restrictions on it, so he can conclude his work with Cas and move to his new job with us. He can't have 2 visas and a predated visa doesn't exist, so he may have to wait for the new one.

I don't think he can get the relationship visa because if the rule change in July that AP mentioned, but we'll see.

The only people who will know the position are Rangi, his lawyers and prob AP. And UKBA of course.

Re: Rumours.... : Thu Sep 06, 2012 7:34 pm  

Maybe this is just a little publicity stunt from Cas' side. We are trying everything from our end, setting deadlines etc to force the issue. We gave a good relationship with Cas, so they are maybe trying to make it sound bad to force the issue from their end..

We have a deal in principle but they aren't seeing the cash they desperately need because of red tape!! I'm sure they are as frustrated as us tbh!!

It's kind of like having a house you love, but can't afford and needing to sell it but the people who are willing to buy it can't get a mortgage on a technicality!!

Just a thought!!

I think that if he did have a relationship visa, then it would already be open season with many other SL clubs wanting to sign him.

I still don't we will pull the Rangi signing off.
I wish AP had kept his mouth shut over the halfback signings.Saying we will sign 2 out of the best 4 in SL was very bold.
I think he needs to learn to reign his passion in slightly in public.

Why? To much banter in the pub?

He'll be judge on his comments when his signings are announced.

I hope we dont end up with some nobody After getting our hopes up with Rangi, so therefore I agree that things should of been kept under wraps better until things were a bit more solid.

For the last umpteen seasons this board has been full of complaints about the lack of information from the club and in particular never hearing from the Chairwoman. Now we have an owner and Chairman who is open, frank , passionate, and honest what do we get? People who want him to shut up.

You couldn't make it up.
