| Quote Dave K.="Dave K."I think Rankin might have been first choice FB, before pre-season games, unfortunately for him, he got injured in the first game (Is he even fully fit?)
Shaul took his chance and it's up to Rankin to get his place back.
Pryce was rightly signed for his experience and is proving an excellent signing.'"
Rankin wouldn't have scored the try's Shaul did, IMO. |

To be fair to rankin, we signed him to partner miller, all the hype was a 6,7 combo between them two all pre season,,.... then first game of the season, we played miller at 7 and a finished richard horne at 6..... you couldn't make it up...

| Quote knockersbumpMKII="knockersbumpMKII"Well as we have signed Pryce what is the point in him staying? He wants first team game time and not playing second fiddle (To Pryce & Shaul atleast) Radford has signed Naughton as well so it was pretty obvious how this was going to end and what Radford had planned all along.
And for those who can't wait to wade into players because they want to go back home (& in this case partly because the coach is signing other players ahead of him) I think you have no idea what is going on and your attitude toward him stinks.
Rankin is a very good player and one we will miss, I can't see for the world him wanting to stay here especially with fans already on his case without doing a single thing wrong..'"
I think Radford probably sees Rankin and Sneyd as our medium to long term half back pairing. At this moment in time the two of them together would be lacking experience, hence Pryce, but when Pryce moves on Rankin will step up, in the mean time he's a very capable back up with a bit of utility value. He will play 20 games this season injuries permitting.
I may be wrong but I don't think Radford sees Abdull as a 6 and if Rankin does leave we will probably look for a replacement. HTW and Sneyd would probably be too similar to be a good partnership. |

| Quote *1865*="*1865*"He's struggling to get in to our first 17, not sure he'll get in to any sides in the NRL. However if he wants to go home that badly he may choose to go back to reserve grade and take his chances on probably not that much less money.
He's a decent player with a bit of potential, he's not as good as some make out (probably because of his enthusiasm) but he's certainly someone i'd like us to keep hold of if the price is right.
I'm glad the club don't want to put an NRL clause in his deal, if he signs it should be because he's committed, not because he wants a deal while he waits for a NRL deal.'"
Pretty much how I see it. He's got a fight on to get in the 17, and fairly so, think people are getting a little carried away with how much we need to keep hold of him. I don't want us to get rid, but he wouldn't be at the top end of my priorities either, TBH.
Also, I wonder how much of this story is just his agent trying to apply pressure for a better deal from us. |

That was my thought when I saw the story. Quotes from the agent, little or nothing from club or JR (he may have said he wants to play in the NRL, but I'd say that if I was interviewed too). Lo and behold a new contract is under discussion at the exact same time as this story appears. |

Exactly. Being in contract negotiations when you're not in the team is not a strong position, so all of a sudden he might want to go home and need enticing to stay. |

I think it would be a huge mistake to hold onto Rankin, can't clam a starting spot, lucky to make the 17 each week, money and quota spot should be better used.

Thanks for the concern!!!!!
I'm led to believe our owner is a particular fan of young JR, but as the superb and highly revered Headon, Jones, Simonon and Strummer so immortally penned, [i'Should I stay or should I go''[/i |

Slight anomaly there. "Rupert" and "I think" in the same sentence. Can't be true!!! |

I agree. Keeping Rankin may block the progress of one of our other youngsters too so if he wants to go id let him.
Always said him and Miller were stupid signings and nothing has ever happened to change that. Enthusiasm alone simply isn't enough to warrant team selection |
