Quote: wereutherein1987? "Rettie is a forwards dream.
He's big enough to act like another forward when coming away from our own line and he's very effective at it.
He just lacks that extra yard of pace to finish the half chances, but that's why we have Worrincy.
I am a fan of Rettie as his lack of pace is far our weighed by his enthusiasm and aggression'"
I can't help but think he'd be much more use in Second Row etc, I remember a few Batley fans saying the same and I think they're right. He likes running at people and like you say he's effective, but he'd be more use in the middle of the park where people could support him more if he made a break or broke the defensive line. We've always had fast wingers and it's always worked well, Rettie's impact hasn't matched up to that of Worrincy/Whites so lets sign some fast lads and get them on the wing, there must be a fair few fringe players dotted round Super League.
But as for Rettie, get him in the middle, he'd also be useful to cover any position if someone did get injured. Ultimate utility man!
