What a player. Kicking goals from all over, timing his runs superbly and able to pass the ball like it's a grenade with the pin pulled. It does seem that now opponents have to be aware of Austin it is buying Ratchford a bit more time/space, much like Hodgson benefitted from Briers et al.

His pass for Goodwin's try was sublime, and the flick pass for Hughes was exceptional. [iStill[/i the best FB in the comp.

Glad we found a goal kicker were happy to stick with been a long time coming

Amazing the difference that practicing makes. I can't believe that other teams haven't thought of it before we did. They're really missing the trick.

Great player. One of our golden players you would hate to see leave and the way he has improved his kicking deserves credit.

His kicking must be giving us about 3/4 extra points a game on average compared to last season. Could make a huge difference.

...and all those post saying we should sign a kicker?

Not me I've always had faith in Ratch. Great player and this season even better. Doubters now seeing what I've always seen

Said no one, ever.

Presume you would be backing Ben Barba...
