I like Ratchford , I think he'd be a great addition to us , Maybe the chance for him to play 6 regularly might temp him over to this side of the rocks .

I wouldn't be disappointed with Stefan Ratchford at all. He's fast, good hands, reads the game well and attacks the line a bit. We definitely need a proven six. This player I think would be the last piece of the jigsaw. We've had a great 2016 but we need a new half to kick on in 2017.

Latest rumour seems to be that us and wire could go to Aus for the WCC and play our opening Super League game down there.

No mention if we do that whether it will be classed as our home game or wires

Could count as `'magic weekend', then we could have a week off since our regular opponents aren't with us any more.

Sounds like a good idea, I'm not a fan of the magic weekend, in fact I'd bin it altogether, but this seems like a reasonable compromise, reducing the number of scheduled fixtures to the same as everyone else.

wire want watts so maybe a straight swap for ratchford

Re: Breaking News... : Mon Oct 10, 2016 6:57 pm  

Kevin Naiqama apparently negotiating an early release from Wests, cracking player but no quota place

Wonder if Wire paid upfront for Lineham and Westerman? Maybe collateral to play with for a signing on fee?

I know ratchford is signed a 4 yr deal in 2014, so could see some money changing hands, or a player swap

Just signed Crosby so they will be heavy on props, don't think I would want to see watts leave at any price

Watts to Wire next season was a "done deal" according to some, 9 months ago.
