Feel sorry for the guy. Dropped last week after winning the MoM against Catalans. Today sitting on the bench for 50 MINUTES whilst the Wildcats ran up 32 points.

Now, just pause for a moment and just put yourself in his shoes having watched mistake after mistake from our loan players and our expensive and over rated Australian imports not to mention our English players with about 10% of his ability.

SM brings him on as Alker is legless after 50 minutes & then causes the Cats problems and his awareness snuffs out many half breaks with great tackles on such as Obst who was a thorn in our side all afternoon.

Personally feel that we will lose him and quite honestly we deserve to do so. SM seems to have a problem having players with ability and awareness - I don`t.

Totally agree showed the heart and desire i thought quite a few of our players lacked today

Wonder if he knows any more "hilarious" Facebook jokes?

He wouldn't even get on the Wakey bench, but you are right that Salford were considerably better with him on.

we will have him please

He deserved to be dropped after a number of poor performances.
Delighted to welcome him back as his form has improved.
Original decision to drop him,for the only game we actually won,was correct !

Well on that principle most of the team should be dropped next week.
I said the Harlequins win was a false dawn as half their team was missing and we still only just beat them.
Kick start the season my ar$e.
The only kicking should be to McRae out of the club.

Difference is we had a class player ready to play stand off instead of him.
Ratchford is a good player and will improve but ,on his form,he did deserve to be dropped.
As for the rest...........................

sorry not a world class stand off to replace him a loose forward mascerading as a stand off-Ratch is the only player we have capable of making a break.

Actually Holdsworth's position of choice is stand off not loose forward. oh, and it didnt say world class, it just said class.

Youve not been watching the same games as me Bonita. Ratch was made the scapegoat last season and nearly played in every position bar prop. If you cannot see his talent ahead of all our loanees then.................. SM - for some reason - is the ony one (no - maybe yourself as well) not to see that he has TIME & awareness which is the key to all players with talent.

The other financial point to make is that players are hidden assets i.e Myler etc - Loanees are not - so lets hope we see a bit of commonsense soon.

Obviously just based on the game at BV - I thought that Ratchford was class when he came on, kept us guessing and set up a few decent attacks - also your man Jewitt had a cracker considering the rest of the pack was getting bullied off the park for a lot of it.

Also was chatting to Talau on the terraces during the second half - was asking about our season and how our new guys were settling in, all that kind of stuff - proper nice bloke.

Early Bath, SR is a real talent, but what happened last year is irrelevant.
We were losing matches and he was playing badly.
He was dropped,correctly, we won and he has played well on his return.
Plaudits to the coach,please.
Simples.

I would rather Stef played than a Aussie and loan players.
McRae has not a clue, we have talented youngsters who are itching to play but he persists with his loan signings and overrated Aussies.
If we lose SR then it will be totally down to how our coach has treated him.
Plaudits to the coach you must be taking the pi$$

just so you know back to the 20s this week against hull

So it looks like McRae is trying to get rid of him then, what was the club's policy, young British players, perhaps McRae does not understand the club's policy, or doesn't rate British players just Aussie cast offs. Time to call it a day McRae
