Completely agree. Very versatile and would well be worth throwing a contract at when Deacon retires.

Someone please enlighten me as to how Ratchford would fit in Wire's team - both financially & positionally?

well, i beleive they are potentially letting king go on top of potentially losing carvell both of whom must be on good contracts so financially; there you go.

positionally, he has played on the wing many a time but is quite versailt on the whole and excellent utility value, like phelps but younger, fitter and dare i say it... better with a great kicking game to boot if you'll pardon the pun!

Someone ought to send him the video of that game and remind him of his first love.

Finch and Ratchford would be a very effective halfback pairing.

Gordon
