Maybe he believed he was able to coach him to become a better player in this aspect. Then again was it Simon's decision to sign Springer?

Ultimately as a fan I was excited when we signed Springer but i've not been blown away by his performances. We move on.

At the end of the day the lad was o.k. but no worldbeater. On we go. Up The Fax! King's Head, shuddersfield, Salopian Raising Tides 5.0% Mmm!

Around quick play the balls the two players in the team with the quickest are Greg Worthington and Elliot Morris… I’ve heard some poor assessments of Greg because he’s not scored. Just keep an eye on him this week: wins the ruck the majority of the time, teams generally don't score down that edge and his quick play the balls… one of the best players we have, my opinion! Up the Panthers

Worthington has been one of our outstanding performers imho. Defends superbly, always makes ground after contact and as said does a fast play the ball. Big boots to step into but not let us down at all. One of the top centres in the Championship.

Ive not heard anyone say anything bad about Worthington to be honest. Unfortunatley for him given the style of rugby we play he's never going to get a load of tries as Grix as a modern coach is trying to attack defenders left shoulders which is why our right edge sees so much ball. The flip side is most opposition are doing the same and they won't get much change out of Worthington.
