Quote ="rhinoms"I think its a bit unfair to start comparing Ward and Sinfield although i know its been mentioned by many others within the game let the lad develop and make his own headlines.
For me Ward will be at 13 or 6 and imo will be a very very good player for us wherever he eventually settles.'"
I agree with that. Ward will fulfill a creative role and much like Sinny will be more of a pivotal SO than a forward. I think the numbers on the back do not reflect a players true role on the pitch. Because Burrow plays as an extra half back more than the traditional hooker role means we can play Bailey as a 3rd prop rather than a traditional 13. IMO Delaney playing in the 2nd row has arguably been our best prop this year.
If this trend continues then we may see more from the Nantwich 'all change' coaching methology with backs playing as forwards and juniors in the first team and first teamer stars as speckies in the stands
