Well Briers is approaching the end of his career so I would imagine if Ratchford joins it might be a year at centre and then move to 6.

Ratchford will be Hodgson's replacement.

boots n all last night adding to the speculation, even going so far as saying hes now heavily linked with wire, dont want another myler situation, me thinks mr parish should be getting on the phone to him asap !!!


come on ratch do the decent think n get a new contract signed, even if he only stays for another year least we will get some money for him unlike if/when he goes at the end of the season

He has done the decent thing ( if rumours are correct) and signed a new contract, but with Wire.

NOTE to Ratch:

Mr R Chase, a person you will meet on Friday, is also said to be linked with Warrington. Show us who is the better on Friday.

Or better still - Ratch hope you have a nightmare then wire will sign Rangi instead lol

Is his contract up at the end of this season??

If not why not try and get a couple of players from any potential suitors? Warrington can't just keep adding to what is already a massive and very talented squad so why not take a couple of thier players. We've not done to bad from Neal for me.

Isn't King leaving end of the season? I would think that was a big chunk of money freed up.

Possibly get them just under the £3 million a year then

How old is Ratchford? Is it the case that Wire will have to pay because of his age regardless of whether he is out of contract? At one time is was 24 but I'm sure that has been reduced.

when are clubs allowed to speak to players ? there is a deadline later in the year (Sept?) but not sure if this applies to those out of contract.

Remember Bradford paying for McAvoy

As for Steph personally benchwarming at Wire isn't ideal but I think he will do the right thing like Dodgy and play as if he was staying rather than behave like Myler or Coley.

He has to do what is best for him to try to get international honours and a decent pay rise but I'd hope he would wait to hear what Parrish has to say.

Anyone hear the interview with Staph on the RL hour?

Said if fans put in £50,000 he will stay.

Just how much are Wire prepared to pay him??

Hang on, I'll just go rooting down the back of the settee for change...

That can't possibly be what he said!?
Not in all seriousness??

One of the presenters asked him if he'd stay if 100 Salford fans texted him asking him to. He said he'd stay if 100 Salford fans put £50,000 each in, but he wasn't being serious. He said the club are still talking to his agents.

Sorry I should have mentioned he was laughing at the time !
