I dont mean him showing his love for Warrington just a little bit more respect for SL

Yeah I really want him to come and play for us and like JMonas want to stay with us!

But are we all jumping the gun cos he's not signed yet and according to the dedicated visitors he's off to Leeds or anywhere else other than HJ!!

In the Sun today, it says we are close to clinching the deal for Stefan Ratchford, and we also have 'run the rule' over Rangi Chase aswell.

Good Stuff.

For the way Ratchford played on Sunday, I wouldn't have him a million miles near the club....bone idle

As for Chase...great player, but we allready have an elusive pacy half-back for the next x years, we need a Briers 'wily old fox' replacement

From the very little I have seen of Stefan he is not Wire class.
But I do emphasise I have seen very little of him.

I'll debate on this point.

I see Chase as the same type of player than Briers, rather than in the same ilk as Myler (Whom I assume you were comparing with)

If you watch Cas, alot of the moves and kicks are done off Chase, he arranges players and calls moves. I think his style will help compliment Mylers 'off the cuff' and supporting role that he does so well.

Add to that the fact the boy can tackle, I think he'd be reasonably suitable.

Is he my first choice? No
Would I be distraught if we signed him? Probably not

I agree with the above. I'm not sure what these players add that we either don't have already or that we can;t bring through in the next two seasons.

IMHO we are in need of at least one prop & a monster back rower.

I like both especially chase.

Got to love The Sun.

They are abit behind considering one has already signed.

I think Briers can perform at this level for another two seasons yet, unless injury plays a part.

Aye but didnt we have a lot of bone idle players here till TS came along.

The Sun = Dave 'Nosey' Parker = Walter Mitty

Smith must see something in him
If he was trying to impress with his performance on Sunday, he came up a long way short
Totally unintersted from the start

This! Don't want him. We've got enough centres far better than him and if he can't get 6 or 7 at Salford, why sign him for Wire? He's not replacing Briers, we've got Gaz OB coming through, Myler is starting to show his quality. Just don't understand why we'd want him.
