GMB confirm that following our representation, Chase remains a Castleford Tigers’ player

The Rugby League Players’ Association (RLPA), part of GMB has successfully represented ‘Man of Steel’ rugby league player, Rangi Chase in a disciplinary hearing with his club Castleford Tigers.

Geoff Burrow, GMB/RLPA Officer said: “Our member Rangi Chase faced very serious disciplinary allegations but I am pleased to confirm that following our representation, Chase remains a Castleford Tigers’ player. I would like to thank all parties involved for reaching this fair and sensible decision.  Rangi was at pains to point out that this would not have been the case had he not had the support of the GMB/RLPA”

This is another success GMB has secured for our members and I want to remind all players, coaches and staff that GMB/RLA is, and remain, the only representative body within rugby league that can provide this level of service, expertise and professional support when players need it most.”
