| Quote: ThePrinter "Ratchford? He was very poor for a few of our tries that Hardaker on the other hand would've stopped easily. I like Ratchford but a FB he ain't. In fact what is his best position as The Messiah has bumped around one of his best players for a few years now.....FB? Centre? HB? Loose? Will probably play all 4 positions in the next four weeks going on previous evidence.'"
He's another victim of Tony Smith's tinkering IMO, much like Chris Bridge. Ratchford is a half-back, who fell foul of the fad for moving halves to play at full-back and has found every other Tom, Dick and Harry getting a shot at 6 ahead of him. I'd pair him with Sandow in the halves next year, tell him the shirt is his and let him play.

| Quote: Andy Gilder "Ratchford looked good because he was involved a lot defensively. He was pretty awful for Hardaker's first both in angle and contact, and didn't cover himself in glory for his second either.'"
I agree Hardaker did him a couple of times. He also stopped I think 5? Including a couple of very good one-on-ones vs Watkins where you'd have backed Kallum. And he didn't hide. You'd probably take 5 out of 7 as a ratio for full-backs stopping clean breaks, but you'd look at the defence in front of him for allowing so many chances in the first place.
He's a good player, Ratchford. I'm not saying he's up to Hardaker's standard but he was Wire's best on the night imo despite getting done a couple of times.

Hardaker obviously MoM (though he should have passed for his disallowed try). Peacock, Cuthbertson excellent and Garbutt too. Sinfield was very good, which we needed because McGuire was off his game.'"
Yet McGuire still managed to get the MOM (not from Sky obviously, the in house one)

| Can only recall Ratchford stopping one really when Warkins eventually scored after his initial break was stopped. That was frustrating that Watkins didn't really put his foot down and back himself (and he did similar in the second half when he could've gone for it). He also did the same vs Saints away when he didn't put his foot down for the corner when he could've made it.....it did go unnoticed though because Sutcliffe then kicked to the corner for Handley to score.
Kallum, you get a chance, pin your ears back.

Have to agree....no doubt he is a class act, but the way he stops is bizarre !!!!

Wires crossed then, apologies, I was starting to worry myself then.
Most pleasing for me this evening was watching Garbutt run the ball in, left nothing to the imagination and looked like he put his all into every run, brilliant.
Also I hope the kids okay from half time, sad to see.
