However, the ineffective attempt at a 'tackle' and the missed drop goal were two critical moments that definitely contributed to the loss.I think the main issue was bringing him back in with next to no game time. He was rusty and it showed. As I said earlier, that doesn't mean he doesn't still have a lot to offer. However, I'd argue that might now be off the pitch as more of a mentor to the Smiths. IMO, the priorities are backing Marcus as the starter whilst building Fin's experience and giving him a legitimate opportunity for o challenge for the starting berth. That means Ford taking a back seat, but that could still be an important and influential role.</blockquote>
