Got to agree with Early Bath. McRae mucked Ratchford about way too much when he was here; not playing him, playing him out of position, not letting him play his natural game. If Ratchford was playing week in week out in the halves (like he should be) then I reckon he'd definately be here next season.
Like Photo Finish said and like we have done in the past, we will move on. We've sill got Sneyd and I've been quite impressed with Nial Evalds in the academy.

Bad pr for sky if mcrae is seen to be upset about the decition to relegate his team

"So what do you think of that decition shaun to relegate your team salford?"

"F*** y*** Stevo n Eddie the whole thing is $***,"

Surpose it was a master stroke by the club in many ways the only down side was losing 2k fans but they will get them back now we e in the new stadium hopefully.

Robbie Paul also helped.
I think the last application was on a knife edge and their presence was helpful.
The hard hats were also worth their weight in gold !

losing 2k fans a game would average about 30k in cash a match so 13 games at home would eqate to 390k in lost revenue a year enough to pay two or three very good players.

I thought I'd read somewhere that Ratchford needed a clean-up operation on his knee that would rule him out for the remainder of the season?

If so, I'd send him for it now - gives MP an excuse to drop him without causing too much friction, allows the team to made up of players who don't have their mind elsewhere and, most importantly, gives us the chance to put someone who is playing better in the centres because Ratchford has been poor recently.

I've liked Nero in the centres, not many get through him and now we have two wingers with pace he could create openings for the man outside him knowmatter who that is.
