Ratchford turns 30 in a couple of months... slightly ridiculous idea to turn him into the the next SOL who was always very good defensively, and has a much better rugby brain and passing game that Ratchford come dream of.

SOL has a much bigger frame, and hasn't been as skinny as Ratchford since he was 17.

Ratchford is a jack of all trades, not good enough in any.... lacks that devastating speed/ power you need in the backs, and lacks the brains to make up for it.

everytime i watch ratchford play, im left with the feeling that 'he just doesn't fancy it'.

Especially at fullback.... on a number of occasions the chance to put his body on the line and prevent a try, is often met with indecision, a lethargic chase and a half hearted attempt at a tackle.... i just dont think he fancies the hard stuff.

Just do what Bennet did ....Put him on the wing.

Wow gotta love Facebook, a guy asjust called everyone numpties for ripping into Ratchford last couple of weeks,guess he never saw them games.

Lol....Ratchford.
Never once have doubt Ratchford or slagged him off....I'll take this opportunity with my 'told you so cap on)...he is the most talented player we have...no case to answer from Roberts as yet).
I'll say it again, you wont your best players in position they can get their hands on the ball.

For every poster on here that said he should be moved on or put out as a ....take a long hard look at how dumb your posts are!

Well done Ratch...it shows how well a back can perform when the pack is finally on the front foot.
Ratchford Patton and Clark too, haven't looked as good on the past year....you can't tell me that was coincidence!

Oh the irony . . .

Hmm why are people Dumb,I guess it’s because they don’t agree with your opinion,think you will find more people have not been happy with his performance most times,but hey ho guess you know more than the majority and everyone else may aswell carry on being dumb.

I said the posts are dumb...as yours just was.

Pathetic that is just the same as saying the people are dumb.

You're very aggressive Mr K. Have a beer and chill out, after all it's only a game.

I'm sure inside he is happy but perhaps he lumped on Widnes at near 2/1?

When you say the “majority” do you mean of posters on here or of Warrington supporters in general? Based on people I speak to I’m not sure this forum is a true reflection of general feeling, but that isn’t a particularly large group either.

Very good tonight.

I don't doubt most people consider Ratchford to be a very good player. The issue is that he is not exceptional in any specific position and we seem to be trying to accomodate him when we have potentially better alternatives in that position. I don't know the answer as I wouldn't like to play against him.

He was very good tonight and if anything his kick for atkins second try makes me want to see him given another go in the halves.
