Ratch has to be in the Halves, just has to be

GOB's kicking and vision with Ratch's off-the-cuff running is our best chance with what we've got.

I prefer him at fb coming into the line out wide like Hodgson did. Russell is fast but doesn't have Ratchford's technical ability on the ball.

I completely agree.



Although Russell is doing what he does pretty well and to drop him might seem harsh, the benefits of having a full-back who plays like a half-back is my preference too.

Better to have Ratch, a good half, in the halves than to replace a capable FB with him. We're light in the halves, he's needed there.

Ha! Saints have 2 fullbacks as halfbacks, with a combined age of 65 in Hohaia and Wellens! We dream of having options at halfback

We have options yes, but no leader like Wellens is for you. That'll be the difference on Thursday.

Isn't it just great that we are entering the play-offs still without a settled halfback pairing.....

Ratch and Bridge for me. Can argue it all you want, they're the only pairing that is threatening.

Surprised Rhys Evans is named after his incident last week. We need the brightness of O'Brien & Ratchford to move us around the park.

I'm really suprised that so many people (more than one specifically) are prepared to give Myler another shot. We got away with an anonymous performance from him V Hudds, mainly thanks to a good performance from GOB, a very good one from Monas and a superb one from Harrison.



Mind you some people are going with Big Roy too, so maybe I've missed something. Oh well. I'll go with :
