poor again in my eyes a prop could of played hes position last night because ever time he got the ball all he seemed to do was pass it straight on instead of trying to attack the bradford line and from what i can remember when he attacked the line he nearly made breaks now i dont now if this was the game plan of mcrea bt for some reason ratchford been pretty disappointing for me this season i expected better things just looks like another average stand off atm...

Young Stefan has not hit form yet this season and I'm sure that will all change the sooner he gets a regular partner alongside him.

One thing that did concern me last night was the Bradford Bulls head coach talking and patting our Stefan on the back at the end of the game.

I do hope they are not tapping him up already ?

We dont want him

Jesus, can an opposition coach not say well done to any of our young/promising players without anybody reading too much into it??

When we're looking at a photo of steph in a Bulls shirt with 5 games still to go and certain woodenspoon winner I'll remind you of this post

You may not but somebody at your club is interested in young Ratchford..

GOD!!! hope we are not in for a season of "will he, won't he" speculation again, does nothing for moral of the fans, players, particularly the one in question, only 4 games into the season, lets put a lid on this now.

As O.R. states, cant another coach speak to anyone other than their own players, + maybe when Stef was in the England train on squad, wasn't McNamara involved, so maybe a "Hi how are you" gesture.

I would be more concerned with Adamson leavein, said to a freind last night that I could see Adamson playing at either the Bulls or Rhinos before to long.

Think Ratchford would be a greatly improved player with an old head inside him at scrum halve, could you imageing what he'd learn about being a half back with say a Dunnerman or Clinch to feed off?.

For me if there is any scope for player rwecruitment a gnarled old prop and a scrum half in the moould of who i've just mentioned would be the making of the team.

If we had had Orford at #7 last night we would have won MR - his deep kicking game was awesome.
