A lot of his injuries have been down to bad luck.His last knee injury would have been no different to any player with how he twisted in that tackle iirc.

It's a difficult one. If he feels he can carry on do you gamble on whether you'll be able to keep him on the park or do you offload him to another club and watch him come back and single handed beat us every time he plays and goes on to be captain of England. It's a gamble as it is with every signing. We do not see enough of behind the scenes to be able to make an informed decision.
I watched As Good As It Gets again last night and some of the revelations and half revelations only goes to support this veiw even more.

Most injuries are down to bad luck, but when you’re persistently sat on the sidelines, what is the point retaining the said player?

On the 'boring' quote, don’t tell me you’ve not though ‘Christ, not again' when it’s announced he’s injured? I recall a pre season thread on here, only a few weeks, where someone said they fancied a bet on how many games it is before Wardy was injured again, and it was taken as a joke! Now the inevitable has happened after one round, all the high horse mob are out because I dared to express my feelings on the situation.

Funny how it was the right call on Garbutt, as 'we don’t need players sat in the stands like him', yet Ward is fair game to play a few times a season because he’s had mental health issues. Some serious hypocrites on here.

Soon we will be dancing the Fandango FROM 2004,TO DO WHAT THIS CLUB'S DONE,IF THATS NOT GREATNESS THEN I DONT KNOW WHAT IS. JAMIE PEACOCK:



He must be feeling pretty down now . I've just read that the cut on his cheek went right down to the bone and it's taking longer to heal. Remember at the latter end of Delaney's career because of his style of play the amount of games he missed

I think with Garbutt his knee/s were chronic. With the weight he is I can understand why the club offloaded him - despite some gnashing on here at the time - and lo and behold he hasn’t held up at HKR.

Ward is a different case. I’m not a believer in luck particularly: I think he plays the game almost too hard. It’s hard to switch off but maybe he needs to learn to manage himself a little more during games and not annihilate himself on every contact. Injuries do happen, personally I’m pretty patient and so I’d probably give Ward all the time he needs barring a chronic recurring injury. We desperately lack quality and when he plays he is England standard. Also a Leeds lad and all that. There is some room for loyalty and sentiment in this game, it is played with the heart really.

Hes got concussion. Move on. No serious reoccurring injury. No concerns at all from me.

Isn't that similar to Ben Currie at Warrington and they have stood by him and he's having a decent run in the side and is a great player.


As to the comparisons with Garbutt, well IMO they aren't comparable, Ward is a home-grown player, our Captain and has fantastic attitude, Garbutt was had none of those.

He probably misses less games than O’loughlin and he’s made his career out of it. By the time Ward finishes he will have many games under his belt.

Not sure about that. Since the end of 2015 Ward has played around 50 games, Flanders has played around 70 games. He's also over a decade older than Ward. Ben Currie has also played more games than Ward in the same period.

Interesting comparison. Theres also a 6 page thread on their board about how long do they persevere with him. Very similar playing careers so far.

Quote: Swoggy Loiner "Crosby lost a child, I can’t even begin to imagine what he’s been through, and deserves a chance to finally show he can perform for us.

The problem with Stevie is, it’s not an isolated incident, and it’s not helping him or the club. I partly blame McDermott for using him as a crash, bang, wallop second row tackling machine, when it was clear from watching him in the academy that he was an out and out 13 with a good pair of hands.

Like I say, nothing against him whatsoever, but the club need to make a decision and pretty fast.'"

There's a big difference in this case v Wards history though mate.
Crosby joined carrying an injury we then decided to sign him on a long term deal knowing this & since he hasnt played at all not 1 game.
Now his personal stuff is devastating absolutely horrendous but in pure terms of recruitment it was a poor call by Sinfield big time.

Don't think anyone could argue otherwise right now, though presumably KS's decision was based on whatever info he had available at the time. Luke Gale signing had me worried but so far he seems to be going great (touch wood). Some you win, some you lose and that applies almost as much to healthy players.
