[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1097029, member: 73144"] Up to a point. If Ford starts playing again at the end of the year it will only be 8 months to the RWC and he’s going to need quite a bit of time before he really hits his straps - so mid 6N at the earliest. If Jones is going to change FH horses that’s only a couple of proper games plus irrelevant warm ups for Ford to get to get used to (hopefully) a new SH who he might know a little from Tigers training field and whatever game plan / centre combination Jones dreams up at a time when the team should being polished, not changing the conductor. And while Ford has tons of experience it’s not like the team hasn’t been clunky with him at helm at times either. I’m more inclined towards the Scotty viewpoint. Its hard to see Ford back except for injury. [/QUOTE]
