Wow. Amazing how quick McGuire gets the crap thrown at him. I'm sure he could have done what mighty Sir Kev couldn't and broke the giants of Italian rugby leagues defence up. Anyway I digress let's talk about how wonderful Bailey is...

There are some players who are simply prone to shoulder injuries - David Creasser and Gary Spencer come to mind. Other players have issues through technique - IMO its no coincidence that Sam Burgess has been getting far fewer shoulder problems since the shoulder charge was effectively banned.

I'd assume that the club recognise that Ward may have a particular problem with his shoulders and look to work around that as far as possible. The main solution would be to not ask him to play as a battering ram at all - which since he's supposed to be a playmaker is not actually that bizarre.

Agreed BR. I think slowly does it is the way with Ward. I would like to see him as a bench player to give Sinfield some relief in games. I know KS is on there for his goal kicking, but feel that, in KS's last few seasons, we would get more bang for our buck by easing KS' workload and easing SW into a play-making role.
Every person is different in physical makeup, and it may be SW needs to be spelled as he grows, especially as he goes in to the tackle very positively and fearlessly. He himself may also need to look at his technique, a point, I hope not ignored by the so called "sports scientists".

There are a decent number of trained professional sports scientists, conditioners, physios and medical staff involved with the Rhinos.

I'm happy to take their way of dealing with any issues Stevie Ward might have over the opinion of anyone else on here.

I had similar concerns over kallum Watkins a few years ago and have learnt that the Professionals involved with the club are far more adept at reading the situation with players than I am, sat here at my keyboard.
Stevie Ward is an immense prospect and I hope to see him really fulfil the potential in the coming years.

Why the 'so called' and inverted commas?
