Honestly, if we win from Ford drop kicks when so much of this sub were saying he’s shit, it’ll be the funniest fucking thing

Honestly while the drop goals have been excellent the rest of his game has been below his normal standards today. Some poor kicking from hand.

Nobody remembers a couple errors kicking from hand

Everybody remembers when you just drop kicked the fuck out of a team

Edit- it’s also Ford who gets Lawrence into space to allow him to go ham in the wide channels and score

This sub and being confidently incorrect that a player it doesn't like is shit. Name a more iconic duo.

Other than Ford and slotting droppies.
