He said Rangi Chase "Is up for a fight" he needs to think about his wording in press statements.

Watch out for stray elbows.

He definitely wasn't up for the last one

Are you referring to the Ponte one or Featherstone?

What I don't understand is, if he had mental health issues at Cas, Salford and Leigh, how will moving to Widnes help. The issues don't go away just because he's moved.

Seems to me the bloke needs to walk away from the game and get the help he so obviously needs. His physical and mental health is far more important than another couple of years contract.

This. According to a Cas fan moving out of the area would do him some good. How? He's been out of the area for a couple of years, still got into trouble, and I'm pretty sure alcohol is easily as accessible in Widnes as it is in Cas.

Has he got a mental health problem which has become a catch all description/excuse of late?



Or is he just a bit of an ar*e



And before the easily offended step in I have total sympathy for those who are actually mentally ill.

I agree here to a point Vasty.



People tend to use things like this too easily as an excuse these days.



I have an old school mate who is suffering. He doesnt go round beating folk up etc.



Wonder if anyone has thought of the mental issues are of those he has hurt.



A victim of an assault can suffer issues afterwards and can take a long time to heal

Can he be both?

Gonna be 'shot down in flames here', but may as well say every criminal has mental health issues.

No most have morality issues, they don't deserve letting off that lightly.



You can't help being mentally ill, being a decent person however is generally a matter of choice.



So yes shot down in flames imho.
