Little disappointed with Ward in that regard to be honest. He's got decent hands, and some of those short side plays would have suited him perfectly. More often than not though, he just ended up taking a straight up carry in the preceding play leaving others to run down the short side off it.
I hope he's not just morphing into a head-down, backside-up second rower. He's got the potential to be so much more than that.

I think he had a specific job to do yesterday, someone had to smash it up and he did that well. He also tackled himself into the ground. But I take your point, he's got the hands. I would say at the moment his best value to the side is the amount of work he does and the effectiveness of that work.
