I'd like to see us try and get Ashley Gibson from Leeds to add to our three quarter options.

Just seen the post on the Salford forum, looks like a joke to me!

Its come from a comment Jordan Turner put on Ratchfords Facebook.
I don't doubt how much peoples tongues (or finger tips) slip on that site one bit,

Jordan and Stef are very good mates and always prating about on facebook with there own and each others pages, many is the time they facebook "rape" each other, not saying it is not true, but i would not be shocked if it was again more of the same high jinx from those crazy Salford kids.

If he were to go on the market i am sure again there would be a good few clubs in for him, and you can't win all the transfer battles down at Belle Vue.....can you?

Sorry jonh - please explain that one to me?

I wont believe it until i have confirmation from adam.

You seem to be at the moment recruiting very well for 2010 getting all your top targets, surely one or two have to get though the widely cast net of the Belle Vue club.

If true, I would be over the moon with this. Whenever I have seen him he looks to have a real nice mix of power, pace skill and awareness - young and a Brit too. Would be difficult to find a fault if true, and would make our half back pairing a potentially devastating one with Brough.

we need someone to deny this very quickly!
tronc was bad enough, but a bloody real proper stand off?????

Ah OK - but I don't think we're getting all the targets we're after - by any means! I know of at least 2 we didn't get.

thank you.
were they susan boyle and dangermouse??

hmm...

Expect to see this rumour appear in the local press sometime next week.

Only seen him play once, when Salford were beaten at Murrayfield. Had a very good game, and I think he may have won MOM as well. Looked a bit on the light side, but showed he has good feet and can tackle as well. Would be a good signing, IMO.

Go on then TayLor why not !

it has now been deleted from Stef's page........the plot thickens! Could there be another Wigan reject heading down to Belle Vue?

doubt it, the bait was taken hook line and sinker why would we want stafan when we have southernwood coming through the ranks ?

Because Steff is a very good young British half with potential to play International rugby and is ready for Sl now? Southernwood is still raw is not ready and could play at 7 to partner a good young Brit at 6. Long term partnership and stability sorted.

Snowie, don't get Jonh aka 'the chief scout' and 'talent identification agent' started!!!- he will suggest that on all accounts that Ratchford is twice the player Southernwood is, but thats to be expected....as he is a former wiganer!!

See my response above and i have worked with both so am in a pretty good position to judge.

Jonh...who are you, are you some type of RFL coach!?!! You remind me of a coach I used to have on camp, who's initials were M.H!

now got them thinking

Just out of curiousity really. On forums people can potray a person who they are not, so I am just really interested in what his links are to the RFL.

No mate I doubt we will have crossed paths.

I have no connections to the RFL never have, played a few years as a junior at Trin and did a bit of coaching over the last 5/6 years at a few different clubs no longer anyinvolvement with the pro game at all as of the end of last season.

just another loud mouth fan with a high opinion of himself!

Glad you pointed that out.
