No, it's staying at 5 for the foreseeable future. Personally, I would like to see it reduced, but I don't see it happening.



I tend to agree that that's a priority, though I do rate Marsh.

It should still continue to reduce naturally as the players who recieved the exemptions from the overseas trained rule leave/retire.

Isn't the idea that instead of the nationality counting that its meant to just go down to 5 overseas trained players?

There is no chance of tempting himn away from Hull, he is a hgull lad.

This isnt going to happen

He isn't a Hull lad.

He's a Pontefract lad ain't he?

From that area Ponte / Fev

I wonder how Ratchford would go as a full-back chiming into the line as a third pivot, similar to Hodgson at Warrington.

For me he needs to put some bulk on if he is to stand in the defensive line. He seems to have potential and will definitiely be signed by one of the "bigger" clubs rather than remain at Salford.

It's definately worth a punt for one of the bigger sides, even if its just as a utility back, he wouldn't demand a ridiculous wage and there's a good chance he could kick on under a better coach than McRae.

Might depend on who takes over there, now that McRae's exit is official.

Think ratchford would be a good signing personally, adds versatility which is always a bonus. Think hes done okay in an average team at the moment. If your playing in the halves you havent got a chance if your pack aint on top. I'd like to see what he could do behind a dominant pack.

Look at Rangi Chase then. Far better behind an average pack.

I'd kill for Chase, he's unbelievably good.

Did you watch him tonight?

I did and i thought he was ok but not great. If he played like he did today every week i wouldnt bother with him tbh.

I did not see the game tonight, but if he had a poor game its one of his very few ones. Would in my opinion by some distance be the best half at Wigan if he were to sign. Would be more than happy for him to replace Finch or Tommy (both players I rate highly) when he becomes available.

you think he had a poor game? Played better than McGuire and he was behind a dominant pack.

Ratchford has also been linked to Wire, with his younger brother already in our academy. Really not sure what to think of him other than utility back line cover ?

McGuire's not the player he was though...

Very selfish, certainly not one if you want a 'team' player.

He's living off one season myler plays the same all they do is back up and run tries in nothing else

Look at danny m against the aussies at the dw he was clueless then eastmond and sam got a shot and ripped it up

Yeah, but to be fair he's still coming back from his well-deserved injury...

He's signed for rugby union next year

Who has? Ratchford, Chase or Maguire?

Ratchford

Reet then we may aswell lock this thread. Thanks pal....
