Chase refused to apply for a new visa, There was also the legal battle going on between two agents about which actually represented him and also Cas kept changing the fee they wanted.



Under the above circumstances I don't blame the club from walking away.



I also personally don't think Chase is the type of halfback we need he doesn't know what he's going to do from one minute to the next let alone lead a team around the pitch. he's a great individual player who can change a game but the fact his team mates don't know what he's going to do is hardly the structure we need.

When did his circumstances/the visa rules change?



We have brought in a new scrum half mid season

Its no use Jake

Ignoring Chases visa.



Was he available then, did we have the cap space, did the club want anything to do with him after the earlier talks?

You are setting a fine example for a moderator,coming out with something like that.

Like what? And I'm not a mod.

I actually agree with you and not him but that comment was always likely to cause offence.

No he hasn't. Usually he talks a lot of sense. He shouldn't have said that though.

It's wasn't a comment it was a question.

Dunno. Sometime between October 2012 and August 2013. Ask Chris28 - he works with visa applications and stated that the rules had changed.





Indeed. And I've said elsewhere that I'm disappointed that the club didn't keep an eye on the visa situation and take another look at Chase when the rules changed. But by then we'd added Miller so not sure if the cap/quota situation would have allowed it.

Your info disagrees with you.

Don't know when he signed, but he only got his visa 2 or 3 weeks ago. That's the thick end of a year after we gave up. And he won't be playing for Salford until next season.
