Who Am I on about?
Yep you've guessed it JD..

Can't knock his commitment or effort and hes been one of our best ever players in the sl era a real talisman who will be talked about in plently of years to come.

BUT

He's not good enough and more and he's costing us some serious points game after game

Poor pass from the scrum to millards ankles results knock on.
Invisible in defence people runnign through him like a turn style.
Can't keep the ball in possesion.
Giving silly pens.

This isnt a one off reaction from todays debacle, i've tried to stand up for JD to the people i stand with in past few months due to the reasons ive mentioned above..talisman etc...

BUT

I've come to realise that doesn't give him free reign or a licence to perform badly and cost us points, he has to be measured by the same standards of other players. We can't say oh who knocked on

oh it was JD nevermind because he did that wonderful run vs bradford in 06 etc... he cant be let off for his performances now because of what hes done in the past.

I know hes the captain but morrison is a wonderful captain in waiting, obst can do it. Im afraid hes not the inspiration on the field that he used to be...

So as the title suggests... Thanks for everything but now its time to go

Hence why he's not been offered a new contract

The time to go was last season.

I'm sticking by my initial thought at the start of the season. JD should have been used as an interchange forward. He still has alot to offer. He can make short punishing bursts. But he can't last for 70 minutes a game. Kear hasn't helped him either by switching positions every other week as well as over playing him.

It's a really sad way to finish a career

Tend to agree with a lot of the above. Love JD, cracking fella and been a great player for the club but this season is a step too far and he's not been helped or supported by a very naive coach who continues to over play him.

If hes not good enough for next season, why is he still good enough now?

Plays too many minutes, he thinks / kear plays him in every position imaginable.

He's a liability on the field and its sad too see, after all his hard work.

Have to agree, like JD a lot but he has gone one season too far. JK needs to stop playing him with all the mistakes he is coming up with.

Agree with every word "mwildcats", he is well past his sell by date....

Don't agree to be honest.

You question his defense but the only person who ever tackles more is Morrison.
In a team that is lacking effort, he gives more than his share every week without fail.

It depends who you are comparing him to but I still rate him. I'd rather have him, with shot knee than a more skillful player with no heart.

Just my opinion though. You lot carry on.

think that makes you a "do gooder", see other thred.

on topic I think JD has earned one bad season, like willie p before i will never say anything bad about him.

So I see. Adds credibility to the argument of course.

Probably a kneejerk reaction but out of the ground we spoke about the early release of JD, top bloke but I'd like to remember him for his effort not the capitulation that he looks set to carry out to the end of the season
