| Quote: Deaky10 "A salford fan likes him at fullback.
Is it this your referring too where that one fan says showed glimpses of class out of a 4 page thread ? The opposition could have been Wakefield, Crusaders or Quins which wouldn't be hard to show some glimpses of class against those sort of sides.
Quote: Deaky10 "Agree with the consistency at half back,
Showed glimpses of class at fullback when he covered there !! probably be Hodgsons replacement at the scum !!'"
The majority of rugby league players at professional level have showed glimpses of class at some point in their careers, thats what makes them professionals.
Richie Mathers showed glimpses of class whilst playing for us, would you have wanted him to stay long term ? Lee Smith showed glimpses of class whilst covering at fullback for Leeds in the past, would you want to sign him ? Even Paul Sykes has showed glimpses of class whilst covering at fullback for the Bulls, you certainly wouldn't want to sign him.
Anyway, time will tell. Ours are just opinions, i wish him well like i would do any player that pulls on the primrose and blue or as Eddie would say "The primrose yellow and blue".

I quite like Ratchford myself, but as you lot have said where will he fit?
I wouldnt have thoght we would bring in a player that isnt a proven FB to play at FB. Helliwell looks great to me at FB and I do think Riley deserves a chance to get a go in the team when Hodgson is knackered (about now for me) I know he hasnt looked great for the loan team he's gone too but we know he can do a very ecent job for us when asked to do so.
Havent seen too much of Ratchford but I will bet ya if TS has signed him he will be a good signing for us wherever he plays him.

You've got a good en'. He's a maverick player, something we've woefully under-exploited at Salford but I think he'll have the encouragement and team-mates to allow him to shine at the HJ.
Hope he fits in quickly though - there's always a fair element of the Warrington fan base ready to write-off talent that don't meet expectations from day one (or before). |

How can Bridge replace Matt King he already plays in our first team?
Thats like saying its ok if Morley retires we can replace him with Carvell. |

I know its a controversial view but I've seen Carvell and I reckon he's even better than Morley!

| Quote: Rob Wire "Its not only that, lets say he has been signed as a fullback. What sort of message will that send out to our under 20's fullbacks like Jordan Burke and Ben Helliwell, if its true that he's coming as a fullback then we have basically gone out and signed a fullback that doesn't even play as a regular fullback, Ratchford is a stand off/centre who may have occasionally flirted at fullback when Salford had injuries, he certainly wasn't thought of as good enough to stay there if he did give it a shot.
Salford wouldn't have gone out and signed Luke Patten and wasted a quota spot if they thought Ratchford had some potential as a fullback, he wasn't even getting in the Salford side earlier in the season.
Underwhelmed would be an understatement with this signing if its true, nothing against Ratchford as he's a solid enough player that has played well on occasions but we need to be aiming higher than that to try and get in front of and stay ahead of teams like Wigan and Saints.'"
thats teh salford that had both myler and ratchford as 6 and 7 then went out and bought jeremy fakkin smith who was preferred to either or on occasion. |
