Not sure how much longer Ratchford is going to be around and don’t know who is coming through the academy but I do think we need someone to come in.'"
Wasn't aware about Marsters to Salford and agree he looks handy, do you know how/if this affects Macdonald and Lafai?
Not that I'm massively panicking from our POV

| Up until Huddersfield, I’d had said Wrench over Tai.
Wrench is solid pacey, but Tai has become a footballer and solidified our right hand side that was leaking points.
I’m not point the finger at Wrench, but since he got injured, Richie Marshall has worked a wonder.

My initial reaction was 'great signing for Hull FC if they get him', but he will be 34 next May, so it's very short-term. Then again, from a Hull FC perspective, they just need something to get excited about right now, whether it's short-term or not.

| Happy about our centres as others have said.
King solid both sides of the ball, has a very good offload and can be a threat in the air.
Tai really come on like a young Olam, really doing his job defensively, and his carries out from defence had made me wince, I certainly would not try to stop him
Wrench is awesome when he's on it I'd say hes third quickest in the team good step and swerve, if he improves his defence he will be great rather than good.
Ratch now should only be there as cover when all of the other three are unavailable, he will do a job but attacks stop with him there at centre, he is definitely doing a job and will be great to have in the squad, (im sure he is partly behind JTs improved kicking)but not starting before any of the others

Improvement on his passing game, is much needed..

| Quote: The Speculator "I think Wrench has the potential to be an exceptional player, and it's a shame that injuries have prevented him from making as many appearances as he should have done. I like a lot of what Tai brings to the side, but his link play with his winger worries me a bit. He got away with one when he scored in the semi-final, but he should have passed to Thewlis. I want players to be habitually making the right decisions in those instances. King has been very solid this season - gets through loads of work and often makes good post-contact metres, getting us on the front foot. Ratchford, at this stage of his career, is very much in the 'can fill in at centre if necessary' category. On the whole, it's nice to have four options, none of whom regard running 30 metres across field for a zero metres gain as an acceptable attacking strategy.'"
That Try in the semi by Tai, screwed me up for a big pay day.
I put £5 on Drinkwater at 33/1 1st try scorer, and £5 on Powell last try scorer at 40/1!!

....and Leeds apparently. Wouldn't mind him at Warrington if the rumours that Rodrick is off to the Dolphins are true.

At those odds I would have tried to stop him myself!

| They are decent, King does well when he plays and has a great game now and then, Tai has really flourished since he's had a run of games, i thought the same about his try. He was lucky it paid of this time, but if that was a high pressure quarter or semi, passing to thewlis who was clear could be a match defining moment. But happy with how he's going.
Unless Tai is injured or has a big dip in form i don't think we'll be seeing wrench any time soon, lucky we have him for a fair few years yet to give him more time to develop.
Ratch is a good player who is handy to have around, fills in where and when he's asked and does a decent job.

| Whenever Wrench starts to show just how devastating he can be, he gets injured. Shame. I do think he’s going to be box office stuff eventually though, and has a great passing game too.
Agree about Lindop too, he’s going to be even better. I’d like to see him and Wrench at centre in the Wire team of the future.

Both Warringtonians too.
Can't recall both centres being born in Warrington and playing at left and right centre in our 1st team

| It’s took a long time for us to finally find a coach that understands competition is healthy.
I was never a fan of TS who would put his blue eyes straight back into the first team as if it was their god forbidden position.

I think that was more down to lack of squad depth not Smith having his favourite players..
