Zak hardaker-Stefan ratchford : Tue Sep 27, 2016 8:02 pm  

Rumours that wire are favourites for hardaker but the 300k price tag will be a struggle although they have major room in the cap. I don't like ratchford but he's an half decent halfback and could be a stop gap to sort our problems before a decent one becomes available. Surely surplus to requirements with gidley, sandow and hardaker at the wolves. Thoughts?

From what I've seen Hull KR were favourites and leigh next linked with him

Ratchford is a quality player who would be good in a number of positions. Unfortunately at wire he's been used as a utility when they could have built a team around him. Id swap him for zak if the offer came, though I doubt it will

Never been convinced by Ratchford, really. I'd rather we kept Hardaker

Would rather have Ratchford than Soward or Lui.

Would rip their arm off for this swap.

If wire can get Zak head straight he could be great for them and good luck to him.

Ratchford is a good player who could be really good at so if given a run. His versatility (much like zaks) is also a secondary benefit.

This would see ratchford and mags playing 6/7.

Wire have major cap space? What cap space must we have then? Astronomical cap space. Wowe. Much space. So cash.

I'm a massive fan of Ratchford, at full back too.

He has quality to see, runs good lines and is deceptively strong.

Tony Smith could be good for Hardakers career. If he can sort his head out he could be outstanding agin but theres a real risk hes as disruptive as he was here this year

Agree smith could also develop his passing. Be amazed if wire agreed to letting ratchford leave.
