Ratchford's defence both structured and scrambling has been top notch.

Charnley got caught out on the first try I think - impressed with Josh Drinkwaters speed - but took his try very well.
Couldn't see if Minikin was a meter or so out of position. Either way, a good finish.

I think the friction between him and Drinkwater goes back a couple of seasons.
Didnt see him trying to milk too many pens on Friday thankfully.

Charnley always struck me as just a souped-up version of Henry Fa'filli.

On which note, if he'd had a 10-15 year SL career, how many tries do you think Henry would have racked up?

He was definitely limited, but he knew his way to the try-line and with some of the centres we had after he left, he'd have had been well provided for.

Certainly more than he notched up in his union career: 5 tries in 89 games.

His record at Warrington was certainly decent but it is hard to imagine a better side for him to have been in than one where he played outside Gleeson and enjoyed being on the end of kicks from Briers. And his replacement was Hicks, the best Wire winger of my lifetime.

I agree with all of that. It was more an observation that try totals can be a bit deceptive with regards to being a gauge of a player's overall ability - Henry (& Charnley) have very good strike rates, but I don't think either would be any Wire fan's top 3 wingers of all time?

Hicks is my favourite Wire winger but also liked Monas, Dessie, John Bevan and Mark Forster.

Can't remember how good Bevan was or if he had any particular weaknesses. Hicks didn't.

Always thought Fozzie was underrated.
Dessie was a fans favourite but IIRC couldn't pass. Hard as nails, and that Widnes game......

Charnley has been a top winger wherever he’s played but still can’t figure out this hitching your shorts up into almost Speedo’s thing
