I spoke to a couple of lads from widnes on the overland train from Euston to Wembley Central.

ratchford was quoted to say that we did not offer the most money for him he came because he wanted to win

Fair comment and depends also how much more money offered elsewhere and the length of the contract.Bonuses for final appearnces and postion in the league maybe in the contract.So been at Warrington he may get more bonus and sponsorship etc.If i was offered say £30,000 more a year for a few seasons i go for the money, as a short career.He could get a nasty injury in the next few years, as you never know in Sport.

Warrington offered him more than Wigan did, and I don't blame him for taking it. I don't know about any offers he got from other clubs.

he got offered a fair bit more to stay at salford

Probably didn't see any real ambition from Salford though so that's why he moved. Not done to bad picking up a challenge cup already.
