how about we give him the 18 jersey and he changes his name to 'Old Faithful'?

It appears the rumours of you potentially getting him for about 100k could be wide of the mark.

Apparently, You offered 235k, And Cas were standing firm on 350k.

Robbo(Anyone who has read Casforum, He is a shareholder) has posted that the offer of 350k has come in and he would accept it.


You won't find many Cas fans arguing for that kind of money.

Is Rangi on his way then?
Seems the visa may scupper the deal?

The deal has been agreed, You just have to sort the Visa, Its not sorted yet. But a fee and contract have been agreed.

I am amazed the RFL have no say in this, Especially with him representing the country. But unfortunately they dont/.

Sooner we get rid the better.

Seems odd that the club and player have agreed terms and Hull have applied for a visa if cas haven't even accepted an offer yet. Sounds like bullshine trying to cover up the truth to me

I have to say that I don't know where things are at present or whetehr it will happen but would always give Big Brother tons of credence, however whoever is tweeting or whatever in Cas what I do know is that we wont be paying £350,000.

We aren't even paying 200k. It's just Cas trying to settle the fans.

We aren't even paying 100k upfront

We registered Crocker before he had a visa.

Think you're being spun a line, but I doubt the true figure will ever see the light of day.

If that is true then he's ridiculously unprofessional.

I used to be a shareholder of Hull FC, and it gave me F all insight into the transfer dealings.
People may be in the know, or may not. If they are then they might be telling the truth, they might not be.
Transfer fees are effectively Adam Pearson's money anyway. They don't count towards the salary cap so why would the fans be bothered about them?

so cas inform their shareholders the value of a transfer fee before a deal is completed?

bit strange isn't it?

I know the postman down Wheldon Road and have seen the value of the postal order we've sent.

Everything Robbo posts is unprofessional.

He spent a couple of years belittling & insulting the old Chief Exec on the other forum then when the Chief Exec said something to him after a match he had a big hissy fit about how Richard Wright was being "unprofessional"

I'm surprised he's lasted this long. They've been awful all year, probably the most underperforming squad in SL, and he doesn't seem to have either the ability or the inclination to do anything about it. I can't believe how little he seems bothered each week in the post match stuff.

Chase and a fresh visa maybe a massive problem I think this was one reason why he signed 4 years with Cas having to re-apply is far from a formality with his conviction dont be surprised if the deal collapses.

Could be spot on.Visa issues will scupper this move.

No chance

quicklook on google and it states he was convicted of assault same conviction as Willie man he seem to be fine to move clubs after his conviction

I doubt the fee will be £350k, shareholders don't know everything about a club.

Anyway even if its £500k so what, APs money, his call.

For me it is all about value for money for AP. He is clearly not an idiot, so I imagine he will have done the sums very carefully so that he is in full awareness. Lets face it, Rangi is not going to change FC on his own, so I imagine other jigsaw pieces must be in place. I reckon no more than £150k. Otherwise financially not worth it to AP

The buying and selling of players is a matter for the Directors. The Shareholders don't need to approve deals.

I'm happy its a done deal between Hull and Cas, but I'm worried about the visa.

Tomorrows hull daily mail, picture of Rangi chase in a black and white shirt !!!! Rumour as it!
