pure quality from the lad..sir tony has a real headache as who to pick hodgy or ratchy what a problem...also i think myler is just edging the half back spot...just hope theres no injury problems

I think Ratchford will take that utility bench spot, far too good to be left out, he doesn't work as well as a pivot as Hodgson but he is a better defender and stronger on kick returns.

Ratchford = Awesome
Solomona = Finished

Ratch will play, he covers all the back positions bar wing, and does a great job in all roles.

If Bridge isn't fit, i can see him covering centre.

I bet at a push he could cover hooker too.

Perhaps we should clone him.


Our 3 pre-season signings have been excellent.

Think if Bridge dosen't make it Evans defo put his name in the hat with his performance today - thought his tackling was immense

Solomona is not finished he is as good a gamebreaker as ever he still offloads and has a huge impact off the bench

He managed two spells of about 5 minutes today if I remember correctly.

I think he done two 10's and was constant threat with the ball

And a constant thret to our penalty/error count.

Talking of Solomona, somebody might have had a better view of it than me but I thought he was miles away from the line for his try?

He done two spells of 10 I think and there's not another player who can do what he can also he looked like he was lighter than he was when he signed

Sol is a fat lard very similar to paliinya at his worst ! He is a spent player and a liability and no longer of SL standard he can no longer reach the fitness level required to be a top level player ! He should retire at the end of the season with his head held high ! He shouldn't play for us again imo ! He's just past his best !

oh my feckin word....

are you for real...........?

the only way he could possibly be lighter is if he bleached his hair his eyebrows and his nut hair.......

seriously the blokes over 20 stone. He's a crowd favourite when he goes on them bullocking runs and standing up with four forwards hanging off him, but he couldnt defend when he was reasonably fit he still cant defend now. his attempted pass to Riley which ended up half way up the south stand was also not a great moment.

After 7 minutes he was gone and for a while kept trying his best to get into dummy half Michael monaghan had to push him out of the way once. it was stupid.

I'll cheer like a kid when He skittles blokes over the place but if he gets a wembley spot over the likes Of Tyrone Mcarthy, Paul Wood or Mike Cooper it will be an absolute disgrace........

in agreement with Padders

he is finished at warrington

I think he's finished everywhere TBH. He's a bit of a luxury, an impact player who is only of use off the bench. For the wedge he'd want most teams lower down the league would be better off looking elsewhere. No disrespect meant and many thanks for his service, but I think it could be time to hang up the boots and tuck into the retirement pie.

Or he'll just go Salford.

So we have a new scapegoat then....

He's not a scapegoat, I think it's a reasonable discussion to have.

the words out of my mouth/

+ 1 considering how long he as been out i thought he was an handfull for bradford when he came on

He has been injured from January to June, that is a hell of a long time especially for a player of his age and size. As Stevo said on Back Chat the other day, it takes a long time for a player to get fit after a spell off. Give him time, I think he still has some good football left in him!

Does that mean we go with one hooker,band if so, which one? A short of fitness Monaghan or a short of class Higham? Grix can cover sub hooker after a spell at 13.

Solomona puts on a jersey and represents our town to play the game he loves and people on here hammer him for it,hope you are all proud of yourselves guys!!!!!!!!

Solomona the new rocket rodwell or what???

He's a shadow of his former self it's just one season too far ! Well past it and no longer good enough ! I appreciate all his previous efforts but no longer required imo !

I had a better view than you. It was a try, he got the ball down on the line. There were bodies everywhere and it was probably only our end of the North stand that could see it. The ref didn't see it, but the in-goal judge gave it, much to the disgust of the Bratfud fans who went mental at him, but it was a try.

Sol is not fit enough, imagine what a class number nine would do to him. Remeber what Monas did to Paleaaesina.

That's two weeks running that the opposition has come back into the game when he has come on.

Fair enough. The Bradford fans didn't half whine like little bitches after that though.

IF we are to keep Sol, it must be on a greatly reduced salary.
On his day, he's STILL devastating going forward, ball in hand. The trouble is, he's getting no younger/thinner/fitter.
As for him being finished, news of his demise, is a little premature
