There's a delicious irony in RD being duffed up on the internet by 'the speculator' and 'speculator'.

No problem with speculation it's the whingeing that I find tedious. As for any criticism of me by Rubber Duckie...I wear that badge with pride.

Great, can you read it again then, rubber duckie is lower case, perhaps there is someone else with a username like me?

if you're referring to me.. i always went after you on my own... there was no backslapping... Anyway, I don't really do it anymore as that market is flooded these days

I'm not a fan of Ratchford at FB, I don't think he's good enough defensively (would he have put Carney into touch like Russell did a few weeks ago?) and he isn't intense enough in his running off the line. His best game for us this season was at Centre against Wigan!

Ratchford was terrible last night. I don't remember him having a worse game in the P&B. He was thrown around like a ragdoll when tackled.

It was difficult to watch him at times.

Ratchford and Currie both last night. We were just shouting 'drop your knee' randomly at the TV.

Far from wanting new players,we need someone to get them all pulling in the same direction, singing from the same hymn sheet. The whole season has been reminiscent of the last days of Cullen ,with Nero Smith fiddling while Rome was burning all around. The players we have are no worse than throughout the league, but they need a leader & the club needs to sort out whatever is wrong in the dressing room.

It didn't quite resonate as much as "geerrrr in to em!"

What about Cory Patterson @ Salford? He seems to be unsettled according to reports on BBC etc and I think he could adjust easily to SL and add a bit more grunt which is lost when Sims and Hill go off for a rest.
