Sorry for butting in but i've been intruiged by the comments about Ratchford. I personally have always seen his best position as centre, Jodie Broughton had his best try scoring season outside him at Salford when they had Smith and Holdsworth in the Halves and Patten at full back. I do agree a lot of your attack seems stifled at times and the ball dies with him at full back. I think with the dearth of centres at international laevel if he could pin down a centre spot at club level he would have more chance of game time for England too

Can I just chip in here?

It wasn't so long ago that our forwards were getting us to the opposition 20 (or closer) and our halfs could do nothing to get over the line bar a speculative kick to the corner?

Ok, the forward pack hasn't been great but, with better backs we'd have won at least 2 or 3 games more meaning we'd have finished in the top 8!

I thought one of our biggest problems this season has been keeping possession. The number of unforced errors has been ridiculous ,meaning we have put ourselves under needless pressure. Probably lack of concentration during games & panic rugby has been killing us.

I agree, which does beg the question what does a coach do about that? They really should know how to keep hold of a ball at this stage of their career.

a coach would educate them on desision and risk taking assessment and guide them to make the right choice as when to pass and when to keep hold of the ball

but in general its clear that little if any work is done on the basics passing etc not just at warrington but in super league on whole, one reason why m smith looks promising is the speed of his passes and also accuracy
