Quote: daveyz999 "I like the lad, but I wouldn't be against letting him go, providing we replace him with a better player.
His tackling is a strong point, but I just can't ever see him breaking a tackle, or running a decent line.
Look at Ferguson at Huddersfield. His ability to run a line and bust a tackle is in another class to Donaldson. I also think that many of the home grown players we produce are just a little on the small side. Luckily Bateman is a bit of a freak who punches way above his weight.
Saying that, given the current squad size, I don't think we are in a position where we can start letting players go, the squad is just too small.'"
Ferguson is a good signing-- dependable in both attack and defence. As regards Donaldson, he's young and is improving match by match. His "line" for the try on Sunday ( and in the previous match) was spot on. I disagree with the posters who imply or say that FC does not rate him--I think it's more the case that the coach has been gradually bringing him on and helping him to rediscover his confidence which must have been dented by those awful injuries.
