I am happy to see Fergy introduced into the slot.

Yep me too.

I have to come on here after reading that one. Opinions fair enough , we all have them however Ryan Hudson will never be as good as JD.

Even now in the twilight of his career he beats Hudson in almost all of the stats especially tackle busts, Marker tackles , average meters per carry the works and thats from someone who gets moved all over the place during games.

I know Hudson has played 15 games to JDs 23 however average it out it's there for all to see.



Cheers

I respect that, and for my money, as a captain and a centre, yes, streets ahead. As a loose forward, I'd prefer Hudson as I just think he offers more in that role.

Different types of player.

I liked Hudson when he was at Wakefield, and espexcially when we moved him to loose forward but just so I understand, what more does he offer than JD?

JD everytime for me

In my opinion(!), I like my loose forward to have a creative streak and work in support with the half-backs and hooker. I think he offers that.

with all due respect i think he offers a lot more and imo we want none of it at wakefield. shouldn't be in the game, never mind at wakey.. think fergie could do a great job at loose next season.

heard it again and this time Kear is keen on hudson, as for the hes contracted since when does one of those get in the way

Even though Hudson is actually a hooker and not a L/F and has no more experience in that roll than JD.

The only advantage Hudson has over JD is age.

When Hudson got back into the swing of things after his extended lay off he looked very good. Can't say I've noticed him too much of late, how has he been doing?

As for the non-playing aspect, I'd be more bothered over the him binning us off for Cas first time round than his drugs ban. He's done his ban for that, he's hardly the first and I think it would be naive to believe that he was an isolated case.

Anyway.....back to Millard!

I see a nice press release emerging tomorrow - looking good!

Totaly agree. In every aspect Hudson bears no comparisson. One of my biggest frustrations about JD is the "issue" regarding his age. I have seen no deterioration in his performance whatsoever and if people were not aware of his age then there would be no indication through his performance that he is in "the twilight of his career". One of the things i enjoy most when watching JD is when he goes round a man on the outside sometimes running a big arc - he doesnt look very old to me when he does that!

I've actually been to a few Cas games this season as the brother-in-law is a major sponsor(so its been on a freebie)and in my opinion Ryan Hudson has been pretty poor to say the least,He's missed several tackles that caught my eye that led up to tries to the opposition.

He's had his moment at Wakefield so lets stay well clear,He may offer a bit more of a loose forwards style play than JD but as others state if we want a new loose forward lets get a specialist in that position.
