No

Doesn't have a set position. A Ryan McGoldrick type player. Can't have someone taking a decent salary and a quota spot for that.

Use it for specialist players in their positions.

If our squad is fully fit. He doesn't get a look in. Not even as waterboy.

I don't want a player on our books that doesn't want to be here sat waiting out his contract so if we have to retain Rankin for another year, who actually does want to be here, so be it.

He offers good cover for half-back and to be honest, with Aston shining through I think it may be wise of us to let Ellis go a year early if we can and keep 4 halves on our books.

Also can play in other positions if we're desperate without putting pressure on people like Turner to come in.

If Huddersfield coach thinks so much of Wardle and I remember him saying he wished he'd got 12 more Wardles in his team why don't we play it cute and say he's coming back unless you pay us some money for him ?

Rankin is an absolute terrible player people are saying play him at full back this guy is slower than Clare running back wards. He is an over seas quoter as well why waste 1 when he won't get a look in once full strength team is back that's if we ever get a full strength team. Seems like all we do is go for cheap option players out of contract we have no ambition at all signing players that other clubs don't want.

No way is Rankin a cheap option we have swapped him for a player we paid a large transfer fee for so no way is he a cheap option but I do agree if all fit he would not get in the team therefore in my opinion a waste of a quota spot

How embarrassing you two (one) are.

On the strength of the immature garbage that you post, if either of you are older than 12 you should be ashamed of yourselves. It's primary school stuff in every way.

Our club doesn't need or benefit from your effluence. Time to move on.

It's amazing how easy some posters allow themselves to be de-railed from a quality conversation.

Back to Rankin, he was/is needed to fill a hole as opposed to Wardle who just left plenty of them in defence. Not ideal but a means to an end that allowed to lose a player whose heart just wasn't in it at Cas and therefore not a great loss.
