The issue for me was McDermott wrongly used him as a battering ram/tackling machine because he was willing

Such a shame with Ward. Honestly feel he has the potential to be Super Leagues best player but it's not going to happen.

His body cant do it and hes just going to keep breaking down. We all hope hes going to get fit and stay fit but it will never happen.

Great kid too. Tragic really.

You’ve got to feel for the bloke sometimes, he seems to have a vicious injury cycle of knee, shoulder, knee, shoulder.

I’ll give him one thing, he must have the mental stamina of an ox, setback after setback and he just keeps coming. Hopefully see him back in the blue and amber soon enough.

Always thought Ward would be good at SO in his early days and maybe had he gone down that line his body might have stood up more than a battering ram back rower.
Whilst I`m sure the club are taking care of his physical injuries I do hope they keep an eye on his mental fitness too considering his past.

He always struck me as a very skilful player who for some reason was turned into a "biff and barge" type player when although he "could" do that was probably wasting his latent talents doing so and then the injuries started to accumulate.

Was really looking forward to seeing him, Bateman and Currie build into Englands back row. Hope the lad recovers and can recover his form too. Class act
