Ward aswell? Oh.

Can't see jammy thuggery coming down here. Too much wonga and he'd never settle in IMO.
Let's keep the development going and if we are going to waste money, do it on a playmaker.

I'm with you on that one Tim. I think Ward's SL days are behind him, sadly. Wouldn't mind Thackray joining though.

I dont thing Ward gives us enough go forward. Surely there are bigger, better, and younger props looking for their chance waiting in the NL or even surplus to the big clubs requirements. I guess Williams and Roberts arent quite ready yet but surely BM can find some big lad to to do a job for us.

There is more to playing in the front row than breaking the line. For example Danny Ward has one of the fastest play the balls in the team. Watch when he is tackled and his body position as he goes to ground - ideally placed to keep the ball moving fast.

I agree, Danny always has & continues to give our team forward momentum.
Not a standout player, but continually gives us yards going forward.

Are you being serious?
Ward always runs into the line with his back facing them, the defenders dont even need to work to turn him onto his back, only to push him to the floor, how his body positioning going to the ground is ideal for a fast PTB i have no idea?
