It's a strange one regarding Balmforth . Riding seems to think he'll potentially be a very good player , then we had Smith who wouldn't give
him a look in hardly and now Grix is doing the same . I can see this scenario with Balmforth mirroring that of Josh Hodgson .
Just seems part and parcel of why we’re so bad as we still have a mind set in the coaching of Houghton has to play regardless and with the full game in mind. That is just not working and hasn’t for years. Andy Last was the only coach who realised that and spelled him which made a difference. No we have a player that has openly said he’d fallen out of love with the game, that is now playing a year too long and being honest is just not up to anymore. Yes he’s been a great servant to the club but his time as a top 9 has gone and he should have been a squad 9 with Brown & Balmforth.
It’s ludicrous that Balmforth hasn’t been given a change given the wonderful performances we’ve seen from the same old failures week in week out from the same old players, then they wonder why we are so poor.
