wishire white turner littler mcgivalry smith myler stapo alker cashmere adamson parker swain paul sidlow jewitt phil well done mcrae in dropping a player who has done nothing wrong wouldnt be suprised not to see him again whilst overpayed and crap aussies are at this club.

Ratchford been dropped then ?

Played in the reserves.

Sat 28th March:


Hull KR Reserves (16) 28

Salford City Reds Reserves (6) 6

he wont drop 1 off is own in an aussie dont give me any off this time to settle in period because i just dont wear it footballers dont get to settle in and you dont get it with rugby union either.brian noble dropped amos roberts down to the reserves because he just wasnt performing maybe mcrae should do the same and he might get a bit more respect from the fans

Some people's reactions are a bit over the top for me - the way people react on this forum, it's as if Ratchford is the second coming of Christ.

I want to see him given a chance as well but it's not going to just suddenly solve all our problems.

Having been to and watched the Reserve team game .....other then a very good conversion off the touchline in very high winds ....you would have not known Latchford was playing TBH

WHAT

Is that Stefan's chinese cousin?

I agree. I would quite like to see Ratchford get a run out at stand-off, but don't for a second expect that to suddenly turn us into a top-eight side.

Smith is quickly becoming this season's Luke Dorn. Ratchford has done nothing so far to make me think he should be a first choice winger, nor has he shown enough to convince me that he should be the first name on the team sheet at 6.

Did anyone ever think that perhaps McRae is giving Smith some time to fit in at half back with Myler? How many games have they actually played together? In our last game we scored two tries - both scored by Myler, both made Smith.

so it seems that putting him under smiths wing might start to pay off the further along we go, and now that we have white back, they wont put ratchford on the wing he will probably stay in reserve

BUT CAN HE DO ANYWORSE THAN SMITH I THINK NOT GIVE THE KID CHANCE WIGAN HAVE WITH S TOMKINS AND HE IS DOING OK

Thank God someone else said it. I think the lad has potential but that's about it at the minute, and I shudder to think how heavy the defeats might have been with a half back pairing as young as him and Richie up against experienced SL players every week.
