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.

good if they dont do it on the pitch then show them the door!

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

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.

I honestly thought he was quality against Leigh...oops.

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.

Well with his departure, we need to replace the full back slot too. Scott Yates is no good under a high ball, let's be honest. New signing perhaps? Or will Cullen move Grady to full back, he used to play there in his younger days. Thoughts?

Perhaps im being blunt and a tad unfair but Yates is a poor player. He will leave at the end of the year and end up at a Championship1 club.

In honesty though there both cack in defence but Yacca seems quicker, puts more effort in and can pass a ball when chimes into the line too at least (heh he sounds good there get him in )

So Leigh kicked the goal and then Ford knocked on????






Presumably the kick off would than have been to Leigh?
If you are talking about the knock on from the kick off to Widnes.. Ford went ballistic about that as he was claiming he had chested the ball and not touched it with his hand...
He had of course actually knocked the ball on but it certainly wasn't a shrug as you suggest.
