A good player with pace, not had enough game time to gain the experience in Superleague, thought maybe his defence and positional play let him down a little, I'm sure he will do a great job for Widnes at Championship level and possibly by the time they are admitted to Superleague, will be able to make that step up.

Thank for your efforts James and good luck in the future.

Centre? winger, at a touch a fullback but not a centre. Feel a bit sorry for ford, never go enough opportunities in the team but should go well at widnes.

Shame he didnt get more of a chance, i think he could have been a better player than Wainwright(not knocking him though not put a foot wrong this year).

All the best Fordy.
