Was thinking the same Rangi Chase in a Wigan side would be awsomoe to watch.

He is also not available but we do not need a half, potential long term target though.

Why, who else are we signing? We have a space now, and strong rumours that Hoff might go...

It reduces by one next year does it not?
If Carmont retires we will need a top quality replacement from the NRL

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

You want us to sign Ratchford but don't think Tom Briscoe would be a good investment?
There's a mile difference in class and ability.

I don't think bringing out the cheque book for a player who can only play on the wing when we've got Goulding, Charnley and hopefully Pat for a good few years yet would be a good move. Plus Briscoe isn't that good either he's a good player at best and that's all we need on the wing.
Ratchford won't cost a fee, won't be on big wages and can cover a number of positions well.
He'd be a sensible signing and as long as we brought others in with him I'd be very happy.
If Briscoe was our marque signing I'd be gutted as he's not a marque level player and we don't need another winger.

Briscoe will move into the centre birth sooner rather than later.

| Quote: NickyKiss "You always speak alot of sense when it comes to young players so I value your opinion but I've got to say I've always been impressed with Ratchford. He has good hands, decent pace and a solid kicking game. He can also play anywhere in the backline and would bring great utility value at what I'd guess would be a reasonable wage.
He'd make a fine squad player IMO that in time could develop into an important player for us.'"
I think he has the most advanced skill set of all the young halves knocking about.

Who knows really?
Until he does I wouldn't sign him seeing he's never played there.

He has, he was selected for his country in that position.

Frightening isn't it.
Briscoe played most of his junior/academy rugby at centre and has been eased into the first team on the wing. He is a first class player and would be an ideal partner for Josh Charnley. He also has the one thing you can't really coach, pace, and a lot of it.

I think though he was hung out to dry vs the Aussies by some shocking inside defence from both a very immobile Peacock and a union bound not interested Smith who left him isolated and this has affected his confidence and also development.
He is getting his confidence back though and I am sure he will be better for it long term.
He reminds me of the closest thing I have seen to an English Adam McDougal. Great pace, good feet and real deceptive power.
