I'll take that if he's anywhere near as successful. Anyway, it's preferable to Joel Moon's Shergar impression from last year.

Thought Ward was looking top drawer in the treble winning season until he got injured away at Hudds when we won in last mins to claim league leaders. If Furner can nurture him back 6to that then we've got one hell of a player back. If not then I'm sad to say we need to let him go.

I think Ward needs a change in play style. BMD wanted every player to just be a crash forward.
Ward could be great At 13 and benefit from more freedom in where he puts himself.
Adjust his technique to suit that and he might not be injured so often.

Saw Brett Ferres near Glasshoughton ASDA today, had a metal caliper on his arm, like the ones Forrest Gump had on. Can’t be helping his training, hope it comes off soon.

He had some work done on his arm just before the open day. He was all bandaged up then! Looks like we got a broken dud.
He’s got a season to prove his worth, or send him on his way.

Pretty baffled by him being captain last year if I'm honest- would suggest he's held in high regard so would expect him to renew. Deals are done way before the end of the season you'd have thought so he doesn't even have a year to prove himself realistically.

Re: 2019 | Squad : Mon Nov 26, 2018 10:20 am  

He's already proved himself. What a waste of salary cap space. Shoddy goods, especially in the attitude/culture department.

He's not been good on the field but I question where you getting this from? The fact that Sinfield made him captain seems to suggest otherwise. FWIW some points last year he was the only one talking and instructing players when we were stood behind the sticks after conceding (which happened far too often)
