| I reaslise he has only been with you this season, But i was just wondering what you fans thought after topping the sheffied try scoring charts 3 years in a row hs the lad been given a fair chance to show his worth??? Is it worth loaning him back to a NL club, and what are his chances of an extended contract???

| I hope he gets a contract extension because with some more game time under his belt he will definitely be better then Wainwright, he's already faster, bigger & stronger. Once he gets up to the speed of SL I think he will be more then decent for Cas.

| I think James is doing ok and has great potential, I would like to see him given more game time to get up to the speed of Superleague, but it's a bit of a chicken and egg thing.
What James Ford has over Michael Wainwright is pace, but Michael has been very good in most areas this season, he really has upped his game defensively IMO and is generally very reliable and I would find it difficult to pick James ahead of Michael at this moment in time.

| For me if Wainwright had an extra yard of pace he'd be one of the best wingers in SL.
I've not seen enough of Ford to really comment on him though.

| The biggest problem with Wainwright is probably his decision making, he seems to just run in straight lines and not bother changing direction when he makes a break, an example of that would be last year against Leeds when he ran over the top of Webb, then carried on in the straight line he was on before knocking Webb over, then getting dragged down, when a swerve would have probably seen him score.

During Chambers time at the club the only player to get anywhere near him was Wainwright. I don't know where this lack of pace BS comes from. Remember last year at home to the Dulls, completeley outpaced their backs only to be unfortunatly called by a ref that saw something 9500 people missed.

yes it was wainny is not fast at all remembe rthe many occassions he has been through the line for him only to cut in field as he does not have the pace to make the line.
shenny is our fastest player!!

| I've heard quite a lot of people saying that Wainwright is one of our fastest players. I would imagine Fordy, Shenny and Owen are faster though.
I'd like to see Ford get some more game time, I reckon he has potential to be a decent player.

Maybe more a lack of confidence? to be fair, its not often Wainwright finds himself in those sorts of positions

| Wainwright is as good a back-up winger as we could hope for - brave, strong, hardworking and a decent finisher. If we'd have had another 12 like him against Saints their winning margin would have been at least halved, the guy just never gives in and his consistency - albeit at an average level of quality - is outstanding. His problems are slowness to turn and a lack of height for dealing with the high ball but IMO Ford has to improve a bit more yet before he would get the nod ahead of him.

Also would suggest that he could do with bulking up a bit, he is very lean compared to other wingers
