If you click on the comment the guy says Ratchford to wigan is a done deal.

By some wannabe journalist type using the phrase "my source". I hate these idiots. Divulge or shut the love up.

As I've said before, it's a done deal when one or both of the clubs involved says so, not on the say so of a fan who wants to claim some sort of kudos by being the first to blab about something.

What's the point of you reading this thread then? It clearly says speculation on the title Mr Speculator.

There's a difference between someone saying they've heard a rumour and someone referring to their "source" - I wouldn't go to the boozer and say to my mates that my source said that x player was joining x club, after reading something on here, it just a bit pathetic really. They should either spill the beans on how they know these things to be true and not just bullpoop or just stop it.

If this true would this lead the way for Benny to be now considered a prop hence the reason we have not recruited ??

been doing the rounds for a while this now

would have liked to keep him at the giants, been very good for us this season, solid player.

I read all threads RD, and am happy to read about speculation, it's all good stuff. And I'm not doubting that you are very well informed, having seen your previous posts. I'm just pointing out that to me, it only stops being speculation once confirmed by the club.

I'm afraid I have no sources, down the pub or otherwise, but how long does Ratch have remaining on his current contract?

It would make more sense to move Harrison to prop rather than Westwood. Westwood needs to be on the pitch longer.

Think he is signed to 2018

Doubt that Ratchford is going anywhere.Roger Draper made a point of saying we've secured best players on new longer deals

2018 is correct viewtopic.php?f=21&t=579911

2018 is correct viewtopic.php?f=21&t=579911

Ok, thanks. Well anything can happen but good to know that we should be in a good bargaining position with Ratch

I already class Harrison as a prop as he quite often plays 3rd prop (13)

Don't worry folks - I've seen that comment and it has been made by the resident troll on that particular site who is a Latics fan who has no interest and even less knowledge about rugby league. If you look at more of this clown's posts you'll see he rarely changes the record and just likes having a go at rugby league. He knows about rugby league what I know about brain surgery and he's just mixing it. There was a rumour going round some months back on the subject but it never gained any proper momentum and died a death pretty quickly. Out of curiosity I looked at when Stefan's deal runs to and he signed an extention in 2014 keeping him with you guys until 2018. I know contracts aren't worth much and I know as much about this situation as any other fan but can't see Wire letting him go so reckon you can all rest easy.

I like Harrison as an out an out prop, I think he's suited better to it. Westwood at loose forward would be interesting.

Just been reading on another forum that Warrington are announcing a signing tomorrow.

Okay to be precise, rotation prop. There are other options we have for loose forward including Currie, Westwood and Grix. When Harrison plays loose forward he doesn't play enough minutes for me tbh.

(btw I think Hughes is a great signing for us)

Ditto.

Yep , no speculation, is as good as done , great signing , when we visit catalans he'll be known as J'Accuse

Simms , Clark and Hughes made super league opta team of the week

When we visit the pies, he'll been known as something very much different. I hope JH rams it down their sweet throats.

From what some poster who follow twitter feeds on here have said.. It seems his father is over the moon he's becoming a Wire.
