With it more than likely next week that Smith will be fit,would you keep Ratchford at 6 on the back of his last few performances or put Smith straight back in alongside Myler???
Imo Ratch has done more than enough to warrant his spot,he has took his chance more than well and I think we have looked alot more creative with him and his kicking game is second to none!!!

I`d say Stefan has earned his spot and has taken his chance well , competition for places should deem Mr Smith looking for another position in the team.

The pairing of Stefan Ratchford and Richard needs to be kept together for as long as possible...

Mr Smith needs to prove his fitness in the reserves before being consider for the first team again.

I was very impressed with Ratchford today, thought he was very busy and productive...alot of what was good about you today came through him. Looks like a real prospect.

Ratchford has earned that position for the rest of the season for me

RATCHFORD RATCHFORD RATCHFORD RATCHFORD RATCHFORD !!

We must keep the winning team together at all costs. Earlier this season we were all despondent over a team with no grit, determination or cohesion. At the moment we have that and it's our half back pairing which are helping provide the platform behind this. IMO Ratchford offers us more options than Smith in both attack and even more in defence. It'll be a travesty if he's removed to make way for Smith. If McRae does bring Smith back in it just shows we have another spineless coach who panders to his "big" signings needs by picking name over form. Which would be in no way acceptable.

I believe that Smith is better than we have seen so far and at times has looked very good BUT Rathchford has played very well each time he has played and he and Myler look the business to me so no real contest - Stefan every time.
