So, he sounds like someone who the club should be keeping then.

Maybe. There wouldn't be a great deal of objection of Gavin Dodd had re-signed with Widnes, but if we've brought Ford in to play full back, and have Gaskill and Flynn to play wing - plus I believe Kevin Penny will be back on a dual contract to cover Gaskill's ban, he may have struggled to get in.

I should hope that he'll get a great reception if he plays at the Stobart next season for someone else.

Yeh you just continue picking out his occasional 'faults' while ignoring the positives cretin. You are the worst type of one-eyed 'fan' and an total embarrassment.

You clearly have no idea about the game. You're really quite pitiful.

Can someone not get rid of this idiot before he drags the board down to his level once again??? How many times does it take to get this tool banned for good?

Can some one please tell me where i am going wrong by voicing my OPINION about gavin dodd just because i dont like him then it gives you the right to insult me!!.. It seems the only tool on here is you because if you look im only voicing my opinions which is what a forum is for and not insulting or being abusive to any one unless they are to me

Little rich if you want an honest view Dodd holds the most points in a game and it was against Doncaster when we beat the 90 odd points to 4 and we had Nanyn Wilkes James Blanch and all he had to do was dott the i's in front of goal..

His 70 yarder was spectacular to say the least, but i would not have him back because he is a liability and produces too many mistakes, i dont care who wants a pop and insult me but this is my honest opinion and im entitled to it!.

Id rather have worrincy far more powerful quicker and a better line breaker but id say both the same under the ball.

I was never a Gavin Dodd fan and I'm not disappointed he's gone. Saying that his last six months at the club have been his most consistent. I'd be very surprised if he regularly found his way into Fax's starting 13.

Gaskell's ban has already started and he will be back playing at the start of the season according to Cullen.

I wouldn't count the drop at Halifax in the mistakes bracket as it was clearly a penalty. No matter how many times you watch it there are two players on Dodd and he has the ball ripped.

There have been more occasions than that though and the particularly worrying thing about it is that Dodd tends to do it when there is no-one around him.

My biggest gripe though is that as a full-back he will just shy away from the catch if he can and I don't think this can be excused.

From the attacking point of view I can't argue with him. The days of Doddy running sideways are behind him and he attacks the line a lot more these days. He is nippy and will score tries. There is no arguing with that.
I already think he has been adequately replaced with a better quality of player and so from my point of view I'm content with his departure.

Ford is a very good centre. I can't say I've ever seen him at fullback.

Have you?

If you have, in which games and how did he do?

He played fullback against Hull Kr if i remember rightly but cant say iv seen much of him at full back but he cant be worse than Doddy. At centre is where id like to see him if im honest
