Quote: Iain "I'd say yes. Surely any player out of contract (particularly a utility type player like Stefan) would want an idea of who the coach and what role that coach would see them playing before committing to a new contract.'"
Keep coming up with 'Utility' being used to describe Stefan , which sounds a a bit understated throw-away even.Multi talented is a closer match . He's an out and out half back with a good kicking game , but he's good under the high ball and usually beats his first marker = full back , and recently proven he's a pretty useful in the centres too. we've watched him over the years through academy football partnering Jordan Turner at Scrum half to the first team. I see Teams like Wigan sign up their young stars on 4-5 year contracts and it worries me that Salford have left Ratchford playing out his last year. People bring up the pre-season signings & stadium build as statements of intent this will mean sod all if we still cannot keep such talent at the club long term. Is it only Salford that would attempt to manage a franchise deciding season with a vacant head coach ? God help us !
I hope to hell a dialog is going on with the key players about the future coaching plans. I can understand us not being told given the circumstances, just hope they know what's going on.
Neither are the club going to make it public if he's turned down an offer or delayed making a decision.
