I'm sure in our dotage we will recall Rangi with a smile think ourselves lucky to witness such magic. All the best Mr Chase.

I think the club has helped Rangi, and his comments from just before joining Cas compared with now are a testament to that. He's got back to enjoying Rugby. but at most, the club can only provide an environment and platform for Rangi to help himself. All the hard work has got to be done by Rangi himself.

Hopefully instead of it being a threat, Cas sending him out to Widnes is so that he can get game time and keep him focused on that, rather than too much free time on his hands and living inside his own head for too long.

I hope he gets to some kind of recovery (whether as a person or a rugby player) and that the environment at Cas has helped him in some small way

He could have been a club legend but it feels a real waste of a rare and exceptional talent.

I wish him well both in the remainder of his playing career and the rest of his life.

Thanks Rangi - at times you glittered like the brightest star.

Stay well fella.
This. Heartbroken.
Thank you & good luck from the whole Tigers community.

I wish him well and just wish he could have knuckled down and fought for his place in the team.

Probably the best outcome for the club. Not sure about the player though.
Would he be here next year if he had no off the field issues I wonder ?

I think he would and then retired here. Maybe getting some coaches badges.

Gutted that he's leaving although understand why, been amazing watching Rangdog play for us, will never forget the look on his face just a few weeks ago when he chased the ball to the line with the last kick of the game, didnt score punched the ground, as he got to his feet all the fans at the railway end and corner of Princess Street as one started cheering for him, he looked so so happy.

Much loved by my family and from the bottom of our hearts we wish you all the best in whatever you do, you will always be welcome back in whatever fashion that may be.

Show them Widnes fans 'the magic'!

Really sad how it as all turned out and I had hoped Cas as a club who takes care of its players would have continued to support him through his problems.
Hope as the season unfolds we don't have posters coming on here saying " if only we had Rangi maybe we would have won that"
All the best Rangi and thanks for all the moments of magic you have given us and I for one will never forget how you carried us for a few years and your magical skills always made sure people never wanted to miss a chance to see you in action, worth the admission money alone.

I for one defended Rangi when the story broke about him at Fev, thinking he wouldn't do anything so stupid.
After listening to a landlord of a village pub saying he was out of his head last Thursday in his pub and asked him to leave, my defence of him was shattered. Why would someone given a 2nd chance at a club he begged to come back and play for, would let the club down in a big way. This is no rumour,also the story of him being smashed again in Pontefract after the Huddersfield game (although not documented) is also a fact. The club gave him a chance, with help of his team-mates, and he let everyone down including the fans, some who idolised him.

I totally agree FH the guy was given a second chance and didn't take it.

If it was me I would have thought there's something special happening here in the next few years and I wanna be part of it, if it takes 2 years of sacrifice of not going out on the lash I'm gonna do it just to be part of it.

Instead he did what he always did and put Rangi first. ....

off topic but Carney has gone to Hull KR too. What could have been of Chase and Carney aye if they kept clean.

Hull KR will be making a good push for promotion against the likes of Leigh and Widnes in the middle 8s.

Like I've said before, you can help someone who wants to help themselves. Rangi didn't want it enough, apparently. I hope it works for him at Widnes, but I can't see it.

Hes playing well enough to help keep widnes in super league but unless he as a complete life change its only a matter of time till he appears in a widnes night spot with some blokes women and they will have to deal with what we had to deal with

Carney didnt really let the club down though like Rangi has .
Yes he made a big mistake which ultimately cost him his Cas career but what he did was only immoral not illegal .

Edit : I mean the incident whilst at Cas , not the one hes banned for now , theres no place for racial abuse in our game .

It's interesting though that there is, apparently, a place for racial abuse in our Game, at HKR, if it is the case that Salford are taking the moral high ground and getting rid of Justin. HKR appear to accept his racial abuse and give him a job. Although the RFL felt it worth a long ban, Salford distance themselves but HKR employ him. Double standards for me.

Each to their own I suppose. HKR look like they'll do whatever it takes to get back into SL.

Not sure I agree with your first sentence. For me what Carney did while at Cas is worse than what Rangi has done.

Rangi has an issue with causing himself trouble while away from the ground. Not letting Cas down but causing himself bother.

Carney to me disrespected fellow players and caused agro between the lads. What he did cant be forgiven. From a mate to a mate its something that you just dont do, yet Carney chose to do it anyway.
