From looking at that video he pops up on the left wing position a lot funnily enough. He looks very strong and quick with great footwork. If he gets in the side the forwards will love the dumy half work he appears to do too. Perhaps this is about generating competition. Riley has had no real competition for the left wing spot and presumably without this signing Ratchford would have no competition for the full back spot. Good signing for me.

Hopefully we'll get a full season out of Rhys Evans next year which will be like another new signing. Creates competition for the centres too.

Well, that's out of left field. Probably the first signing made in the past 5 years that has not been mentioned on here at least once.

Hopefully there are one or two more surprises to come. It's so much better that way then so called "in the knows" don't mention it. Must have something to do with their promise of "Won't say a word" whilst tapping the nose.

No-one saw this one coming. Tony Smith keeps his cards very close to his chest. I wouldn't even speculate whether there's anyone else to come.

Thinking about it for next year we have 11 players signed contract extensions, we've had Asotasi, England and Russell come in replacing Moz, Carvell & Brett. Tyke & Williams will be replaced by squad players being promoted along with Penny returning. All in all not bad and anything else in a bonus.

Anyone else heard Bridge to Widnes? It's only been mentioned to me by Widnes fans.

*** I'm not starting a rumour just asking the question ***

wow!

watch this..... he can play anywhere in the backs but looks like he would be at home as a hooker!!!

A young back, with speed, that can cover a couple of positions. Seems ideal for what we need. I said on another thread, I wouldn't be surprised to see Ratchford pop up at right centre a few times next year if Bridge can't find form. He'll definitely fill in for Briers as well IMO.

I think you must be still after a prop. It was on twitter a few days ago Sione Louisa from the NZ Warriors has knocked back an approach from Wire to stay in New Zealand.

Sorry but I hope you got a sneak!

From the clips I've seen, it wouldn't surprise me if he was being lined up to replace Mick Monas/Mickey Higham.

According to the Guardian he led the stats in line breaks, busts and metres gained in the NRL youth competition. He is 20 yrs old and is on his way back due to being homesick.



Another low risk signing that might work out well?
