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.

| 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.

| I have always liked Ratchford & he showed his strong points tonight in attack But i think he is wasted by being shoe horned into the fullback position ,which he isn't. No doubt Mr Price has got the gen off previous team sheets & club coaching staff that "Ratch is a utility player who we have put at fullback" ,but after a few games he may decide that Ratch is better in a more attacking role.

| Much, much better from Ratchford last night.
'One swallow doesn't make a summer' however and only time will tell if he can put in consistent performances at FB.

| After seeing some of Atkin’s passes at right centre last night and Westwood’s lack of fitness, pace and impact. I’d put Ratchford at right centre and Atkins at 13, see how it goes. Mitch Brown can play FB

Said it before and I'll say it again, I don't think there's a more attacking position on the pitch than a modern day full back. Gives him the freedom to roam all over the field rather than be stuck to one side, and link in to the line where he sees fit. The NRL generally put their best attacking players at full back - he's our best attacking player, let's leave him in a position that allows us to get the ball in to his hands anywhere on the field.
He's been far more successful at full back than he has in the halves, full back gives him a little bit more time on the ball, which I think he needs, he's not an organiser, so shouldn't be in the halves.
As for centre, I've no doubt he would make a decent centre, but we saw a very good defensive display from both our centres tonight - that isn't a strong point of Ratchfords game, I think big centres/2nd rowers running at him would have a field day.

| Defence, Alffi, & that is why i don't rate him at fb. I have been thinking for 2 or 3 years that Atkins should be in the pack & either put Ratch at centre or i would even try Ratchford at loose forward & put M.Brown in the centre & try Jack Johnson at fb. That would give us a fast & mobile pack & more options off the bench.

We all have our own opinions obviously, I just feel his defensive frailties would be more exposed in the centre than the odd occasion he's left with a one on one tackle at full back.
He defended very well at full back yesterday to be fair, held a couple up over the line.
