Quote ="Barbed Wire"I’m inclined to agree. At the start of the season I was all for keeping Ratchford, but seeing Thewlis this year, I think it’s time.
That cash could be used to turn a little prop into a big one.'"
Reason being Ratchford covers a lot positions, he’s not quite got the pace of other fullbacks in the league but he reads the game pretty well at 1, he doesn’t get injured often and doesn’t have a lot of bad games. There’s also other factors like goal kicking, leadership, experience etc
Obviously, its all down to personal preference but I think he offers a lot more then some of the other deadwood in the squad. Thewlis is still finding his way at fullback, so I reckon another season under Stef’s wing he will be ready.
