| By last year does Gotcha mean 2015 or 16? For those part time players or those without a contract a win bonus is a huge income, assuming all players get the same win bonus, which used to be the case.

| Quote: Gotcha "Why do you have to assume increased amounts for Watkins, Sutcliffe, and Ward? they all had long term contracts. Lilley is a certainty, you are right there, but nothing to suggest the others. Watkins was on very big money long before this year. Of course there will also be Gouldens lates contract to throw into the mix.'"
Of course we don't know in individual cases but often younger players contracts will steadily increase over the course of a long term contract. Often the reverse is true of older players.

| Back to Ratchford, thought he was excellent last night. Real quality performance in an otherwise sub-standard game.

I'm a big fan of ratchford but putting that to one side he was good at fb last night, do we need that?
I think sutty has done well so far and should only get better. You also could not move him to so to accommodate ratchford so would have to move him to the forwards or move him on. Some like sutty for 13 but I don't.
What we do need is a so. Is ratchford the answer to that? I like him at so but I understand why others have reservations so it would probably be a risk. Can we afford to take that risk?

| are they not similar? ratchford is a decent player who, had he nailed a set position earlier, would have been better off.
unless leeds decide where sutty is going to play he also will end up as a jack of all trades. even us fans are split. i'm not sure he will be anything more than an adequate full back and 13 is his best position.
someone somewhere needs to make a decision

| I know we are desperate, but Ratchford is not going to give us anything significantly better than what we've already got. Like someone said, Wire rate him so highly they brought in Gidley.

Was Gidley brought in above him? Was he hell, that is a silly thought. Gidley was brought in for the leadership and experience they were missing across the squad. Ratchford plays starting thirteen no matter what position it is. Whether he is a jack of all trades or not, is only to his teams benefit, as he plays no matter what, purely because of the quality he brings. That flexibility allows his coach to rotate and rest key players elsewhere.
To answer your question he is significantly better than what we currently have.

Where did they finish in the league last year with their all English HB's before they brought in Gidley and Sandow?

True, but McDermott did what Smith couldn't and led Sinfield and co to a treble whilst Smith f**ked up a treble in 2005 with them.
