Strange decision this for me... I can only assume that somethings been going on behind the scenes.
I wouldn't have singled him out for particular criticism. I don't think he has been any worse or any better than anyone else.

If you think about it though, we might be spending more on him than others and he is taking up room on the cap so if he isn't making a significant contribution he is easier to offload than, say, someone who is a local lad having a bad patch. |

Sounds like he was too busy working on his Cabaret act!  |

On thread drift:
[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

Ford is an ideal example of our poor recruitment policy over the years. He is a Centre and not a fullback. Playing a few games in a position, when necessary, does not mean you can do a fulltime job there. I was concerned about this when I first heard they’d signed him as a fullback. It seems I was right to worry. PC needs to explain his thinking here.

I agree, but its not normal for a club to publically tell a fairly high profile signing they need to find another club and they will not selected again. Sounds to me more like Cullen has got a problem with his effort/attitude rather than his ability. |

I think you’re right. There must have been some sort of bust up between the two. Either way recruiting a centre as your main, first choice, fullback, with no experienced back up, is just plain crazy imo.  |

He made an error right in front of me (Ford) as I was going to the loo after Leigh had kicked a goal, and from the kick off he knocked on. Davies went absolutely mental at him and Ford just looked at him and shrugged as if to say 'ahh well'.

That says Ford does not care and has a attitude.Like when i saw him strut through the club.  |
